Security forces unable to take responsibility
They added that the LTTE Peace Secretariat Chief Pulidewan had arrived Thandikulam check point in Vavuniya at around 10.00 p.m. on Wednesday to proceed to Kilinochchi. Thandikulam and the Omanthai check points were closed at that time. But the Security Forces had to open it with special permission. Military Spokesman Brigadier Daya Ratnayake says that the LTTE representatives including Pulidewan had left for Kilinochchi via the Omanthei check point after a delay of one hour. Brigadier Ratnayake said around 9.50 p.m. Chief of the LTTE Peace Secretariat Pulidewan and two other members came to Vavuniya-Thandikulam Army road block and they wanted to proceed to Kilinochchi. "Though we closed down the Omanthei military check point around 6.00 p.m., we escorted them to the Omanthei road block and let them proceed to Kilinochchi." He said: "That was not a main issue. The main issue was that those LTTE members or the LTTE leaders are travelling without any early warning at night and day in government controlled areas. We have repeatedly warned them not to do so since there is a serious security threat to them from their own carders and the break away LTTE group, the Karuna faction. In spite of those warnings, they move like this purposely to blame the security forces is something was wrong. Therefore once again we request the LTTE to behave in a responsible manner specially when their leaders are moving in government controlled areas." |
