"International pressure on LTTE required" - V. Anandasangaree
The Leader of Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF), V.
Anandasangaree stressed the necessity of international pressure to
prevent LTTE targeting innocent civilians in pursuit of their
unrealistic dream. He said that India should play a major role in this
regard.
In a Press Statement to the Press Trust of India the
TULF chief said, "the time has now come for India to step in and tell
the LTTE to keephands off civilians".
"The LTTE's only hope now is to unleash fresh violence
for which the Sinhalese are not prepared," he said in the statement form
London.
"I condemn every killing; I believe that no one has
any right to take the life of another," he said.
"It (the killing) will not take them (LTTE) anywhere.
Instead they lose their credibility day by day. It is high time that the
international community warns the LTTE to refrain from causing the
deaths of innocent civilians," he said.
Expressing his dissatisfaction over the role played by
the Tamil media particularly, the TULF leader said that Tamil media in
Sri Lanka is not categorically blaming the LTTE for the killings of
civilians in the country.
"I reiterate that the Tamil media, both print and
electronic, should bear part of the blame. Their failure to condemn
these killings in one voice, gives some encouragement to the LTTE
terrorists."
Given that they have a good network of reporters, they
can easily assist the authorities to detect the real culprits.
Without doing their duty they find fault with others,"
he observed.
