The Sinhalese will be an extinct species, if the UNP returns to power with the help of the Tamil Alliance, as TULF General Secretary R. Sambanthan had openly admitted in Trincomalee that they will support the `freedom struggle' of the LTTE, Minister of Food, Co-Operatives and Indigenous Medicine of the North Central Provincial Council K.H. Nandasena said.

Addressing the SLFP supporters in Rambewa at Anuradhapura he said that the people living in border villages know how this Government took efforts to retaliate LTTE attacks on border villages.

They know how many of their relatives were killed by the terrorists in these attacks. The Government did its best to protect border villages from the LTTE attacks. How many of our soldiers sacrifice their lives in such confrontations, he questioned.

The Minister said that the UNP leadership and the UNP MPs do not understand the gravity of the ethnic problem. They just want to enjoy perks. That is why they toppled the Government using the money of cronies, he added.

"The LTTE's aim is to bring a puppet to the country's leadership. That is why they support the UNP through the TULF led Tamil Alliance. What the LTTE wants is to stop military operations against them and lift the ban that has been imposed on them. That is why they want to bring the UNP into power," Nandasena said.

The Provincial Minister further said that when the whole world is united to defeat terrorism, the LTTE is now searching ways to survive. That is why they want to bring the UNP into power. I believe that our people are not that foolish to elect the UNP, he added.

Prabhakaran knows that until President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga is in power their proscription will not be lifted. That is why they are striving to bring a weak leader into power spending millions of money with the aim of getting the ban lifted, he said.

We must carefully study that if Ranil comes to power what will happen to the security situation in places like Padaviya and Kabithigollawa. What is the assurance that has been given to the lives of the people in these areas, the Minister questioned.

"Most of the UNP organisers are mudalalies. They do not care what happen to the people. What they want is to fatten their purses. If we want to create a future for our children we must ensure resounding victory of the PA at the coming election."
