When Kausalyan was killed by Karuna’s faction
you rushed to the wrong conclusion and issued a statement which
smacked of a warning to the Government against the danger of
violating the ceasefire agreement.
Since then several civilians and Karuna’s
supporters have been killed by the LTTE. A soldier was killed by
the LTTE and another seriously injured in violation of the
ceasefire agreement. Killing by the LTTE in the Eastern Province
is almost a daily occurrence now. Are they not a threat to
peace? Why are you shy of condemning the LTTE for those
atrocious acts?
Why are you mum now? Do you know that LTTE
perfectly fits into your description of terrorism? It’s high
time you gave effect to your own proposal and condemn the LTTE:
(a) as a Terrorist organisation, specially when
countries like US, UK and India have proscribed it;
(b) for its killings of innocent civilians and
opponents;
(c) for recruitment of thousands of child
soldiers;
(d) for procuring arms during the so-called
ceasefire agreement;
(e) for violating the ceasefire agreement nearly
3,000 times.
Don’t you think that as the head of the UN, you
should act independently without being dictated to by the Tiger
propagandists and decide to respect the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of a member country?
