The
Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has called for a stop to violence
directed at the Tamil people. TNA Leader and MP R. Sampanthan has told
parliament that attacks on Tamil people in the North are allegedly
carried out with the active support, sanction, collusion and blessings
of the government.
He has said that starting with the mob
attack on the office of TNA MP S. Sritharan on March 30, where several
TNA MPs were holding a meeting, there have been several other attacks
including one on the Uthayan newspaper office in Kilinochchi.
"A common feature of all these attacks
is that they have been carried out by or with the connivance of the
security forces and the police and even though the assailants have been
identifiable, no arrests have even made," MP Sampanthan has alleged.
Responding to MP Sampanthan's statement,
Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne has said that the allegations that the
Police and members of the security forces are involved in such attacks
are unfounded and unsubstantiated.
