United
National Party (UNP) Chairman Rukman Senanayaka says that
the party must have backbone to see killings of LTTE as
theirs and they must not be whitewashed.
He
made these comments at the meeting of the UNP Working
Committee.
He
said that LTTE made Mr. Ranjan Wijerathna a piece of charcoal
and killed Mr. Lalith Athulathmudali. He said that finger
was pointed at late President Premedasa for the killing
of Athulathmudali which was actually conducted by the
LTTE. He said that the party should have backbone to say
that all of them were killed by the LTTE.
The UNP challenged to name any other organization that
possesses suicide bombers. He said that he was criticizing
LTTE at the risk of his life and many have thanked him
for that proving he was right.
Rukman
Senanayaka questioned from the UNP Working Committee if
it was going to accuse the government if Ranil Wickramasinghe
would be killed by LTTE tomorrow. Urging not to whitewash
LTTE, the UNP Chairman asked the Working Committee to
clear the party from charges of LTTE links that go with
Ranil Wickramasinghe if it wants to win.
The majority of the UNP Working Committee applauded when
Rukman Senanayaka said that he would insist always that
Janaka Perera was killed by LTTE and the government committed
an offense by not providing security to him.
