Transport Minister Dullas Allahapperuma yesterday noted that Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has failed to condemn the attack on the Sri Lankan Embassy in Oslo.

The Minister said not a single word was uttered by the UNP leader in condemnation of the attack by the pro LTTE activists in Norway.

The Oppositions in the past have joined hands with the Governments in power when the country was facing a crisis but the present Opposition is aiding and abetting the pro LTTE elements to protest against the Government.

“The International Community was made to believe by the pro LTTE activists that Sinhalese were barbarians and are prepared to commit genocide, he said. Not a single political party in the world that embraced democracy has entered into agreements with terrorists.

The UNP should take the responsibility for betraying the country’s territorial integrity to a group of terrorists which had killed thousands of innocent civilians.

The Minister said the UNP attempted to strengthen the LTTE’s fire power during its regime while not importing any military equipment to fight the war.

“The UNF government used various subtle manoeuvres to cripple the country’s intelligent service and more than a hundred informants were killed by the LTTE terrorists in Colombo, as a result.
