SLMM-LTTE pow-wow in Batticaloa

Representing the LTTE were Special Commander Col.Ramesh, District Political Head Mr.Kaushalyan and Commander Ramanan. Since this meeting was arranged after a long lapse of time, the parties had lengthy discussion and reviewed the political situation prevailing. Special commander Col.Ramesh commenting on the killing of senior LTTE members who were engaged in political work said that they were all responsible in public confidence building through their political activities and rapport with the people and their loss was a set-back to the peace process. He solicited meaningful intervention of the SLMM in ensuring that such killings and violence by armed groups is brought to an end in the interest of the CFA and the peace process.

It was agreed in this meeting that the LTTE political heads in the District will meet the SLA under the auspices and facilitation of the SLMM during the course of next week. The head of the SLMM welcomed this decision and said that both parties should endeavour to build mutual confidence between them.
