| Prime Minister's MoU with LTTE kept country free from fear - Former CWC MP Jegadeeswaran by Maskeliya group correspondent Former Member of Parliament and Deputy President of Ceylon Worker's Congress S. Jegadeeswaran, who is a UNP Candidature for Nuwara-Eliya District addressing at the opening of an Election Office of Ceylon Worker's Congress at Maskeliya said that the CWC has placed three matters before the Prime Minister and Leader of UNP and we have a hope that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will definitely attend to them. The country was in a major civil war situation for the past 20 years, but Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe signed a MoU with the LTTE and kept the country free from fear and harassment. There were no checkpoints, or hindrances to the general public. The public walked on the streets and roads without fear and almost all were happy. What the country needed was peace among all communities. Jegadeeswaran said that at the last general election there was a chance for CWC to add one more representatives to Parliament. But it was given to the Up-country People's Front. It was the reason why a separate Ministry was created for the people of Indian origin and given to P. Chandrasegaran. The CWC alone with the UNP will send 9 members to Parliament to represent the people of Indian origin. Minister Arumugan Thondaman is a great leader who is capable of solving all problems of estate workers. S. Balachandran, National Organiser for Youth Congress of CWC, K. Krishnamoorthy, Chief Organiser of CWC, Maskeliya and Mr. Pradeep, Secretary also spoke. K. Naguleswaran, presided. |
