All parties advocating a Joint Mechanism with
Tamil Tigers should be held responsible for the assassination of
Army’s Intelligence Corps Commanding Officer Major Tuan Nizam
Muthliff, the National Bhikku Front said in a press release
yesterday (2).
All communities in the country, Sinhala, Tamil
and Muslim will greatly appreciate the service he rendered to
the nation for a long period as a member of the Army’s
Intelligence Corps.
This assassination is another example of the
nature of the pseudo-ceasefire agreement reached between the
former Premier Ranil Wickremesighe and Prbhakaran. Norwegian
peace monitors, the UNP and the LTTE should also take
responsibility for this criminal act, the release signed by the
Ven Dambara Amila Thera said.
Tigers have demonstrated that the claim of
bringing them into the democratic mainstream by some Government
ministers, the so-called international community and the NGO
peace band is only a fairy tale. Tigers are continuing their
killings such as the recent murder of a Sub Inspector of Police
at Batticaloa, the abduction of Inspector Jeyaratnam and the
previous killings of members of the Intelligence Divisions and
informants. There is no room in the Tigers savage mentality to
join the democratic mainstream though some of the ministers,
members of the opposition, ceasefire monitors and the
international community are engaged in white washing the Tigers
which we reject with contempt, the release said.
We also denounce with contempt the international
community who are silent on these savage killings of the Tigers
but do not take any steps against the Tigers. We ask them to
emulate the example of the TULF leader V.Ananadasangaree who is
raising his voice against the Tigers and demand from the
Government not to act in fulfilling the evil intentions of any
foreign power, the release said.
