Sri Lanka pilgrims attacked by Tamil Tiger residuals - An emerging threat that we should be all aware of
(By: One Sri Lanka Peace watch)
A news report appeared on The Island on Thursday (Aug 4) said that Tamil Tiger activists have carried out an attack at a group of Sri Lankan Pilgrims in Purawasakulam , Chennai India on Wednesday (Aug 4).
The report said "The attackers, numbering around 15-20, dressed in shorts and T-shirts displaying the LTTE symbol, had stormed the Earavas hotel where the pilgrims were staying and ordered them to remove the T-shirts they were wearing with Sinhala lettering. They then set the clothes on fire".
According to the report the attacked group consisted of 85 elderly Sri Lankans from the Southern Sri Lanka. The attackers had also ordered the manager of the hotel to expel them before 7 in the evening .Later the pilgrims had moved to Maha Bodhi society for safety.
This reminds us the dangerous trail of very carefully doctored incidents that ultimately plunged our nation into a great misery by 1983. All Sri Lankans, irrespective of the ethnicity should be cautious over this emerging threat that might destroy the peace and stability in the nation we were born. Ultimately, it would not be Tamil Nadu or India who is going to bear the brunt of terrorism but the people in Sri Lanka.
