The UNP in connivance with the JVP and NGOs are attempting to revive the LTTE at a time when it is on the verge of defeat in face of heavy pressure exerted by the Forces, said National Freedom Front General Secretary and Parliamentarian Nandana Gunathilake.

Addressing a press conference at the party’s head office in Battaramulla, Gunathilake said the recent attack on a TV station and the murder of Lasantha Wickremetunga are being made pawns by the UNP and its imperialist allies to undermine the Government’s missions against the terrorists. “These elements have already announced the culprits of the attack on the TV station and the murder though the investigations into these incidents are not completed,” he noted.

He said the UNP drove terror into the minds of people when it was in power. “The UNP is responsible for murdering senior politicians who followed different political ideologies,” he said.

No body uttered a single condemnation of such assassinations.

“The UNP and the JVP have fallen to such a low level that they are unable to organise a single election meeting in the North Western and Central Provinces,” he said.

Certain NGOs and those who support them are today trying to instill a sense of horror in the minds of the people, he said. Gunathilake said the Government is in a formidable position with the support of its coalition partners and it has fully exercised the mandate given by the people. “The people have fully endorsed the Government’s policy.

“We decided to leave the JVP when the its leadership defied the membership and acted on his own accord,” he said.
