Sri Lanka Marxist party against Norway's role as facilitator
Mar 07, Colombo: The Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna said that the party does not like the double role of the Norwegian facilitator and said "We should not continue to keep Norway as the facilitator."
Making a special statement at the parliament today, Wimal Weerawansa, Propaganda Secretary of the JVP said “Our stance is that the motherland could not be protected without defeating both terrorist backing Norway and terrorist backing media.”
Weerawansa referring to a news item published in the ‘Sunday Leader’ of 5th with the heading “The Tiger Report on Paramilitaries” said the article could be seriously considered as another critical instance of betraying the national security. “This article is based on a statement presented by Anton Balasingham, Theoretician of the Tiger Organization at the Geneva talks.”
“As indicated by Mr. Balasingham this newspaper states that the government security forces do have transactions with the paramilitary groups. A list of names of the intelligence unit of the security forces is also published along with the article. Another list of these officers has been produced informing that they are associated with the much debated Karuna faction. Besides it has divulged certain members of the EPDP, which is a party within the government,”
In his statement Weerawansa raised another issue published in the front page of ‘Sunday Island’ of 5th which was titled “Oslo rolls out red carpet for Tamilchelvan”. Offering a state welcome to Tiger members and inviting them to Norway being the coordinator of the negotiations is compared by Mr. Weerawansa as a special treatment for one party during the intermission of a match by the match referee.
Mr. Weerawansa said “such a country should not be continued as the mediator leaving the motherland in danger. Taking a bold decision for the safety of our motherland is more imperative than the faded faces of international community. The government should not betray the sovereignty of the country.”
More civilians take to A-9 road after Sri Lanka peace talks
Mar 07, Colombo: There has been a rapid increase of civilians using the A-9 highway after the Geneva talks.
At present about 1000 civilians pass the Omanthai road barrier daily. The security sectors have extended to them facilities to enter uncleared areas without obstructions. The civilians have the freedom to travel anywhere after being examined at the barrier. The government is also operating bus services for them to travel to Colombo and other areas from Omanthai.
Sri Lankan authorities say civilians in the North are ‘upbeat’ about the opportunity to travel in a conducive environment.
