Terrorism should be eradicated - Opposition Leader

Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday told Parliament that steps should be taken to eliminate terrorism from the world not only through military means but also by providing political, social and economic solutions to defeat terrorism.

Wickremesinghe making a special statement on the Mumbai terrorist attack, said, “terrorism should be eradicated from the entire SAARC region and the world as well. However, it cannot be done only through military means. Measures should also be taken to address the other political and socio-economic problems which have led to terrorism. The Indian Government has realised this situation.”

The Opposition Leader said the UNP vehemently condemns the terrorist attack launched in Mumbai, the economic hub of India.

Terrorism has become a severe problem to the entire world. It is not enough only to condemn this kind of terrorist attack. The entire region should join hands to defeat terrorism.

“We should consider how the Indian Government faced these terrorist attacks. The Indian Government always tries to uphold the supremacy of the law in tackling these terrorist activities. The Indian Government did not harass the journalists who reported this incident. The Indian Government has not acted to portray this incident on a racial track to take any advantages.

Therefore, any Government should combat terrorism by safeguarding democracy and upholding the supremacy of the law, he added. JVP MP Vijitha Herath said all members of the JVP vehemently condemned this terrorist attack in India.

He said that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has stated this attack could be the work of some internal groups supported by external groups. Therefore the Indian Government should take action to find out these external sources to defeat terrorism, he said.
