  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

Tamilselvan condemns the knee jerk accusation of LTTE for Kadirgamar’s murder

LTTE has strongly condemned the knee jerk reaction of the government for accusing LTTE for the murder of Foreign Minister Kadirgamar. The Leader of the Political wing of LTTE, Mr S P Tamilselvan said,

“It has become the habit of the government and the security forces of blaming LTTE for all murders committed in the south.

In the current ceasefire environment, within the highly protected zones in Colombo, it is impossible for the LTTE to carry out any such attacks. We totally reject the accusation levelled against the LTTE.

The view being expressed that this attack resembles past LTTE attacks is very suspicious. Kadirgamar was given very high security. There were news reports that more than 100 security personnel were giving him protection.

The chances of an outsider carrying out such a well planned and precise attack within such a high security area are minimal. Watching the news reports that are coming out our suspicions fall on the security forces and those who were providing him the protection.

Kadirgamar had the opportunity to carry out a false propaganda on a worldwide scale against the Tamil people’s struggle and the LTTE. However, in the present context LTTE has direct contact and relationship with the international community. This environment permits us to have direct line of communication immediately.

Kadirgamar’s past actions have been weakened in today’s context. Therefore this murder is intended to create a wrong impression about the LTTE and the Tamil people in the world stage.

We are examining the situation. We will state our position only after finding out the reasons behind this murder. We condemn the instant accusation of LTTE.

As far as we are concerned we view this to be an outcome of the weaknesses and contradictions within the government and in the security situation. We do not think that this incident will worsen the contradictions between the two sides. We are very clear about this.

The security forces and the armed paramilitaries are together carrying out many murders and activities that are causing confusion. We have pointed out this worsening situation in the past.

It is this that has pushed the ceasefire situation into serious state.” said Tamilselvan
