TNA meets LTTE political heads in Kilinochchi
A meeting between TNA Members of Parliament and officials of the Political Wing of the LTTE took place at Kilinochchi’s Peace Secretariat on Saturday, 4 February. Participants of the meeting discussed the deterioration of normalcy in civilian life in the Northeast as well as the LTTE’s participation in the Geneva talks this month.
 The three-hour meeting was attended by Head of Political Wing S P Tamilselvan, Secretary General of LTTE Peace Secretariat S Puleedevan, Ilanthirayan of LTTE Peace Secretariat, other district heads of the LTTE’s political section and 18 members of parliament. TNA members of parliament expressed their concern about LTTE delegation attending the Geneva talks during a time when civilians suffer from the atrocities committed by paramilitaries, in particular the abduction of Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) employees and the remaining seven that are still missing. One member of parliament expressed concern over sending the wrong message to the international community which will “likely encourage Colombo to continue its duplicitous approach to peace efforts.”
