The LTTE’s message to the Tamil voter: Why?
October 29, 2005Ignore the Elections -Jaffna Students
In an appeal issued Thursday evening, the Students’ Association of Higher Educational Institutions, Jaffna District asked Tamils to ignore the election promises the candidates are making from their election propaganda platforms.
“Encouraged by his extremist and nationalist supporters, Rajapakse has openly stated he would never compromise on the Unitary State, never acknowledge the existence of the traditional homeland of the Tamils and never execute the Tsunami rehabilitation plan, revealing his chauvinist stand,” the Students’ appeal explains.
On the other hand, the Tamil students’ body warns against the “slimy moves” of Ranil Wickremasinghe, who immediately after signing the Cease-fire Agreement three years ago, had exclaimed that with the Agreement he had prevented the LTTE from taking up arms, prevented deaths of “Sinhala soldiers” in battle field and laid an “international network to have the LTTE ostracised.”
