![]() The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) two
major political parties who support the Sri Lanka government in the parliament and helped President Mahinda Rajapaksa to be elected at the last presidential election said that Norway's role as the facilitator of the Sri Lankan peace process has been "deceitful" and cannot be trusted. In an immediate responses to Norway's Minister Eric Solheim who has been playing a leading role in the Western sponsored Sri Lankan peace process the two parties said in separate statements Norway has been not only tending to follow a process siding with the terrorists of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a terrorist group banned in many Western countries deceitfully, but also engaged secretly supplying the terrorist group with weapons and equipment necessary for war secretly. Parliamentarian Vijitha Herath speaking on behalf of the JVP said, the party would never trust in Eric Solheim, since he has been working as cunning as a fox to help the terrorists of the LTTE by taking all possible steps to help the terrorists whenever the group was in trouble. Calling Norway has been always a partial country in the Sri Lankan conflict the JVP representative said, it cunningly saw to work out a strategy to aid the terrorist group always turning an unhealthy situations into a healthy one for the terrorist group. He said peace negotiations should start with the firm undertaking at least not by handing over their weapons but at least with the firm promise of downing their weapons. But Herath said the true ground situation was that LTTE was not ready even to make a promise not to raise their guns if negotiations were started. He said the LTTE would never give up military aggression as a means of winning their separate state and whatever negotiations with them would turn ultimately into a meaningless effort, given those circumstances. Speaking on behalf of the JHU, its parliamentary leader Venerable Atureliye Ratana Thero said, the main problem in Sri Lanka's peace process is the facilitator Norway. He said as a Buddhist party it was always for negotiations rather than for war to solve the country's problems. But according to past experiences there were two main problems arising out of Norway becoming the facilitator of the process: (1) He said Norway was part of the problem since it was involved in the training of the LTTE terrorists (2) It has been revealed that Norway was involved in supplying weapons and equipment to the LTTE terrorists even while peace negotiations were going on in the past. He said the JHU was ready to raise these matters in the parliament and bring the role of Norway into public discussion and continue to bring pressure on the government. He said not only Norway there had been several white people who contributed to the LTTE terrorism in the country and without them the problem would have been solved long time ago. He said a wrong image had been built in the country to the effect that the LTTE could not be touched, or that they were an invincible force because they were militarily superior and if they were touched the whole of Colombo could go up in flames and our country could not afford to go to war with them. Venerable Rathana said all those myths were shattered, thanks to our heroic forces, during a very brief period. (EOM) Meanwhile Nadaraja Raviraj, member of the Tamil national Alliance, the proxy party of the LTTE said peace negotiations was the correct path to take. He said the political leader of the LTTE S. P. Thamilchelvan has said that they were ready for peace talks but the government should stop its military operations. But the LTTE was not imposing any pre-conditions . |
