The Collective which held a protest campaign and demonstration in Colombo to support their demand yesterday submitted a memorandum containing a list of names of persons reported killed or gone missing due to LTTE terrorist activities.
Several thousand parents representing all parts of the country including the North and East participated in the demonstration.
The participants asked what the likes of Sridharan, Sambandan, Mawai, Premachandran and Sumandiran were doing when the LTTE engaged in carnage and went on a spree aiming claymore mines massacring Bhikkhus at Aranthalawa, targeting the hallowed Sri Dalada Maligawa and recruiting child soldiers. Is not it Tamil Eelam that they are now demanding, they asked.
Speaking to the media the Convenor of the Collective said at a time the government has now steered the country successfully towards development attempts are made through UNHRC to pressurize the country and impose strictures and embargoes on it by certain Western powers and NGOs. They were puzzled as to why these forces which were trying to white wash the LTTE today kept mum when the LTTE committed barbaric acts of terrorism in this country.
These forces had failed to realize the steps taken by the government to save Tamil civilians during the last stages of the war.
