Since
from February 2nd to 4th, Prabhakaran’s LTTE had
killed 41 innocent civilians including school children
and women, and wounded about 189 innocent civilians. It
is very surprising to note that the so called Human Rights
groups has so far failed to condemned the LTTE's brutal
attacks of innocent civilians, most observers noted.
Do
they justify those attacks? The so called Human Rights
groups try always used their level best to stop military
operations in north making statements that Civilian Human
rights were being violated. When LTTE kills innocent civilians
in the other parts of the country do they think that human
rights were not violated by the Tamil Tigers? This clearly
indicates that the so called human rights groups are clearly
identifying themselves with the LTTE terrorists?
During
the time when the Ceasefire Agreement was in operation
since 2002 February, the Army did not check the Tamils
who came to South from North and, because Ranil Wickremesinghe
Government was hallucinating about world of peace.
Then
Defence Ministry even removed road blocks and instructed
police and army not to check any Tamil civilians coming
from north and east. LTTE taking this favorable climate
smuggled as much of explosives to Colombo and to suburbs
to kill the innocent civilians and to target Government
leaders and security forces officials.
LTTE's
aim is to achieve two objectives. One is to provoke communal
hatred and prepare suitable climate for an ethnic flare
up in the country. They are under the impression when
a communal riots broke out in the south, LTTE claiming
to be representing the Tamils would be able to win back
the sympathy and support from the international community.
However
this ploy of the LTTE is known even to a small child in
the south and so far they failed to be provoked even under
very trying situations. Majority of the Sinhalese are
aware of LTTE’s ploy and they remain calm and provide
their maximum help and support to Tamils living in the
South. Furthermore they are aware in case there is any
communal disharmony and riots in the south then that would
disturb the military operation in the North.
The
second objective of LTTE to set off blasting bombs in
the south and provoke everyone is to think that troops
will withdraw from north and be brought back for security
purposes in the South. Army Commander Lt. General Sarath
Fonseka said it will never happen. "My troops will
continue their operations to eliminate Terrorists,"
he said.
