The Tamil party is deceiving the their people by using demands for a separate state and the merger of the north and the east, said JVP propaganda secretary Vijitha Herath at a media briefing yesterday (24).

TNA leaders are using racism for their existence after being rejected by the people for failing to fulfill their duties through the provincial council, he charged.

In the same manner, southern racists were sowing seeds of racism, he said, adding that the May Day would be used by his party towards building national unity.

Continued silent is dangerous

JHU media spokesman Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe asked the president and the prime minister to intervene and act within the constitution and the law framework to stop separatism talks by the TNA and certain NCP members.

Continued silence over their repeated violations of the constitution would lead to a breach of reconciliation, he said.

If TNA and opposition leader R. Sampanthan justifies Prabhakaran’s armed struggle to cause destruction to the country, the war to eliminate that terrorism was thousand times more justifiable, stressed Warnasinghe.

The government alone cannot create national reconciliation, and Tamil extremists should abandon their ideas and extend support in that regard, he added.

If the NPC-adopted federal proposal is presented to the constitutional council, the JHU will take the lead to defeat it, Warnasinghe added.
