The LTTE is extending its support to the UNP to win the forthcoming election in order to send some LTTE representatives to Parliament to take the country for a ride and build up a separate state of Tamil Eelam, JVP spokesman Wimal Weerawansa said, speaking at a public rally in Galle.

"UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe is not willing to expose the secret pact signed between the UNP and the Tamil parties and Muslim Congress. Why has the UNP all of a sudden proposed an interim administration for the North and East? If the UNP is sincere and has not made any commitment to the Tamil parties it should be able to explain this to the public", he said.

"The people should be more vigilant over this twin pact between the UNP and the Tamil Parties and Rauf Hakeem which would endanger communal harmony and the unitary state of the country", he warned.

He said, "The UNP has offered certain concessions and it has no right to pay ransom at public expense to draw the support of these groups to win the forthcoming General Election. The JVP totally condemns this treacherous move by the UNP and we urge the people to get behind the JVP to defeat this disastrous plot against the nation," he added.
