Anandasangaree welcomes President's decision
TULF President V. Anandasangaree yesterday welcomed President Chandrika
Bandaranaike Kumaratunga's decision to appoint a Special Presidential
Commission to probe whether one or more armed groups opposed to the
Peace Process are operating in the Eastern Province.
"Like many others I am also one who is of the opinion
that no one has any right to take the life of another person.
Unfortunately in this country of ours there is no respect or value for
human life which is most precious for a living human," Anandasangaree
said writing to President Kumaratunga.
"The terms of reference to the Commission should not be
limited only to the two incidents, in one of which Mr. Kausalyan, Mr.
Chandra Nehru and a few others were gunned down and the other in which
Quveni and two others were seriously injured.
"Killings of this nature especially during the day time
causes a lot of concern to the civilian population who live in constant
fear and tension.
"I suggest that the terms of reference should be
extended to cover all such incidents from 22.2.2002 the day Ceasefire
Agreement was signed. Your action should bring relief for the civilians
also," the letter stated. |
