Accept President’s peace offer now or regret
later
A senior police official in charge of the Northern Province has told LTTE cadres, held in detention, in the Vavuniya region, that they wouldn’t get another opportunity to work out a political package with the Sri Lankan State.
Addressing over 2,000 detainees, both men and women, at Neriyakulam Technical College, Senior DIG Nimal Lewke, said that President Mahinda Rajapaksa would be their only hope. The former Commandant of the elite STF said that the South wouldn’t oppose the President’s strategy.
