Mannar Bishop claims LTTE is responsible for the destruction unleashed
Bishop of Mannar Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayappu Joseph has emphasised that the LTTE is not the sole representative of the Tamils. They should be held responsible for the destruction unleashed during the last 25 years..
In an interview with the "Sunday Observer", the Mannar Bishop said the LTTE might have their own reasons to claim that they are the sole representatives of the Tamils. But people like him and the ordinary Tamils would be very hesitant to support that claim. He opined that the Tamil people had not ever said so. It has to come from the Tamil civilians themselves. The Mannar Bishop asserted that he was neither an LTTE sympathiser nor a supporter of the outfit. In the interview the Bishop emphasised that he was not for separation or war and queried how anyone can tag him as an LTTE sympathiser..
Anandasangari reiterates that the LTTE should lay down arms
TULT Leader V. Anandasangaree has reiterated that the LTTE outfit should immediately lay down arms..
Northern Tamil civilians should be provided better living conditions. The necessary environment can be created with the LTTE disarming and entering into talks with the Government. The tiger outfit had not succeeded in fulfilling the pledges made on behalf of the Tamil civilians. Under such circumstances, the LTTE had not been able to appear on behalf of the Tamil civilians. The terrorists are experiencing severe hardships in the face of the final operation launched by the security forces. However, the difficult situation experienced by the Tamil civilians in LTTE dominated areas should be overcome. As such, Mr. Anandasangaree underlined that the civilians should be given the opportunity of reaching Government controlled areas for their safety. At the same time, the security forces should also extend maximum facilities to the civilians who are returning to liberated areas. The TULF Leader added that the LTTE had been unable to hand over any victory through the long term military struggle..
