Saturday, 03 November 2007

Leader of the Western People’s Front Parliamentarian Mano Ganeshan said yesterday that the killing of S.P.Thamilselvan, head of the political wing of LTTE is an attack on the political solution.

“Government cannot any more speak of political solution and run the war machinery simultaneously”

“Government cannot any more speak of political solution and run the war machinery simultaneously” he said commenting on the killing of the LTTE political wing leader by the air strikes by forces in Kilinochchi yesterday. “I do not want to describe this as the wake-up call to the international community. We believe the wake-up time is well passed now,” he said indicating that the international community should have played a role in resolving the national issue long before “S.P.Thamilselvan has been the head and spokesperson of the political wing of the Tigers.

The Government negotiating team and members of the international community have met him for discussions on various occasions. Now he is silenced by the aerial attack of the government forces.

This is definitely a very serious blow to the peace prospects and the negotiation process”, he added.
