The Patriotic
National Movement points out that there is enough validation to confirm
that Norway is an opponent of Sri Lanka. The PNM emphasizes that Norway
is no more in a position to hold diplomatic relations with Sri Lanka.
The pioneers of the
PNM at a media briefing held this morning (13) said that it was apparent
from the Wanni Tigers’ behaviour at Oslo, it was not a sudden decision
taken by them but as a result of a well-planned programme in advance.
“Norwegian
Government prepared Oslo talks to wash down blood stained clothes of the
Tigers” – Wimal Weerawansa
 Mr
Weerawansa said that the Norwegian Government organized the Oslo
discussions since it could not take Tigers alone to their country. He
added that the Wanni Tigers acted according to a plan organized in
advance rather than in an unforeseen situation.
Both the Tiger
organization and the Norwegian Government was aware of the leader of the
Government team prior to departure for Oslo discussions. But they did
not oppose at that moment.
It is obvious that
the Norwegian Government wanted to wash down blood-stained clothes of
the Tigers. Announcing the talks were unsuccessful, Norwegian Minister
Eric Solheim said this situation has arisen because of the ban on the
Tiger Organisation by the European Union. At that moment also they acted
in a way to cleanse the Tigers, said Mr Weerawansa.
If Norway is a
legitimate facilitator they should have apologized the Sri Lankan
Government on the situation and send the Tigers back home, he said. But
at least they did not act to apologize on the issue. Instead they
allowed the Tigers to challenge the sovereignty of the Sri Lankan
Government from their country.
The Norwegian
Government has allowed the Tigers to convene their representatives of
European countries to discuss in detail on their future plans. All the
expenses also have been bored by the Norwegian Government.
Mr Wimal Weerawansa
pointed out although the Norwegians used to do these envious acts
secretly and trained the tigers secretly earlier, they are engaged in
these activities openly now. Following the announcement by the Tigers
that they will not participate in the discussions, the Tigers issued a
six-page statement. This statement appears to have been drafted as a
legal document which cannot be issued within one day. It is clear that
this statement has been written based on an interim administration, said
Mr Weerawansa.
At the same time the
SLMM also has published another statement which should not have been
done. It is written as an analysis on the Geneva talks. Hence such a
statement should be issued for the second round of Geneva talks. These
facts prove that both Tigers and the Norwegians are acting in an
analogous manner.
According to the
relevant report terrorist activities had begun with the assassination of
Wigneshwaran in Trincomalee. Consequently they are trying to justify the
claymore attacks against the security services, ‘pearl cruser’ attack
and the suicide attack attempt on the Army Commander’s life by the
Tigers. They have tried to cover up the attempt on the lives of 710
un-armed soldiers,
Mr Weerawansa added.
The report indicates
that the security personnel were dead in military operations. But at
every instance the security personnel died either while they were
returning home or when on duty inside the bunkers. By this means also
they have justified the terrorist attacks of the Tigers.
The SLMM report has
cited that Sri Lanka is a country without a law and the Army should be
made democratic. It is obvious that Norway is trying to show the world
that the Army is killing without any restraint. In other worlds they are
paving the way for the UN forces to interfere.
Commenting on the
questionnaire forwarded by Solheim to both Government and the Tigers, Mr
Weerawansa said that they have no right to present a similar document to
an independent country and a terrorist organization. He questioned
whether Norway is trying to compare Sri Lankan Government with a
terrorist organization or Tiger terrorists with a sovereign state.
Localize the
national problem which has been internationalized
– Dr Gunadasa
Amarasekera
 President
of the PNM, Dr Gunadasa Amerasekera said that the national problem which
has become an international problem unnecessarily to be freed and
consider as an internal problem.
Dr Amarasekera
further stated Norway pretending as a facilitator is engaged in a hoax.
Norway is trying to give away the ‘Eelam’ by two ways. One is to offer
them a confederation status while the other way is to intervene the UN
peace-keeping force.
Dr Amarasekera
emphasized that in the circumstances the Government should take severe
action taking firm decisions. He also urged that Norway should be
removed acting as the facilitator in the national problem of Sri Lanka.
He also emphasized
that the Government should take steps to ban the Tiger Organization as a
terrorist organization. |
