Four Countries Soon to Lift Ban On LTTE – Tamil National Alliance Candidate Suresh Premachandran

[EelamNation, November 11/2001] 

Mr. Suresh Premachandran, the leader of Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) and a candidate of Tamil National Alliance, said that the alliance would hold talks with four respected countries, which have banned the LTTE as a terrorist movement due to mounting pressure by the Sri Lankan President and the Foreign Minster.  It won't be long time to see the outcome, which indeed would be a slap in the face of majority Sinhala chauvinists, he told presspersons at his office in Jaffna. частотомеры, калибраторы и миллиомметры, осциллографы, вольтметры, анализаторы спектра и мегаомметры

He said the Sri Lankan government managed to obtain supports in the international community due to dis-unity within the Tamil community.  But the formation of the four parties into a single alliance is a turning point in the liberation struggle of Tamils led by the Liberation Tigers.  The Tamil National Alliance will exert pressure upon the international community to recognize the Tamil Tigers as freedom fighters fighting a war in self-defense.  The Sri Lankan State is hiding its own TERRORISM unleashed against the Tamil people in the island beginning from early fifties.

He said further that it is the responsibility of Tamils to vote for the Tamil National Alliance; otherwise pro-government militant groups such as EPDP would help President Chandrika to delay settlement of the conflict for another five years.  These anti Tamil movements are rewarded with ministerial berths for betraying Tamil people's freedom struggle.

Mr. Premachandran said that the Sinhalese governments in the past managed to hoodwink the foreign governments by taking into their fold Tamil militant groups such as EPDP instead of holding talks with the LTTE.  The tactics is to showcase the EPDP as the party representing the Tamil people, prolong the conflict further until Tamil resistance is crushed using military force. It is also a tactic to obtain foreign aid.  We will urge the next government to hold talks with LTTE to end the war in order to prevent further destruction and loss of lives.

He said that Tamils should understand that this election has given an opportunity to air their political aspirations to the international community.  Tamils should not miss this historic opportunity to win the support of international community by showing them they are not warmongers, but people yearning for peace with justice.
