JVP remains firm against peace talks based on ISGA

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) maintained its firm stand against the government, of which it is a part, holding peace talks with the LTTE on the basis of the Interim Self Governing Authority (ISGA).
Any official could make statements but it is the government that decides whether the peace talks are to be held with the ISGA as the basis, said JVP Parliamentarian Chandrasena Wijesinghe, yesterday.
Wijesinghe, the Minister of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, was responsing to a statement attributed to the Peace Secretariat Chief Jayantha Danapala on Tuesday in Colombo, that the government was ready to start direct talks with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam based on the Interim Self Governing Authority (ISGA) proposal of the LTTE, to address the urgent humanitarian and development needs of the north and east, after the tsunami disaster.
Wijesinghe told The Island that the JVP very concerned with the actions of the government and not over the statements made by officials.
He also said that the JVP is not against peace talks with the LTTE but will oppose talks based on ISGA. He said everybody should benefit from the talks which were of paramount importance.
`We are confident that what we had agreed upon, prior to the forming of the United Peoples' Freedom Alliance (UPFA), will not be forgotten,` he added.
He said that even President Chandrika Kumaratunga could make statements with regard to peace talks but when it comes to action there are certain procedures.
The Island reliably learns that the JVP top guns had a meeting yesterday with regard to their current position in the government.

JVP stand is quite right.
Wanni must first settle their Karuna issue before any talks on ISGA can commence.
They have no say to the East untill such time.
First things first. |

The Govt should demand that the Karuna faction be included in any discussions so that LTTE becomes less important in any agreement. Without this one can say that the Karuna faction will be free to disrupt any agreement.

JVP, what u do is OK. But just don't wait, make a big voice, do protest with any way you can.
We need JHU honrd Monks too to be active on this. You all are needed very badly to the nation.
There are few cattles covered with Tiger coats and roaring around and want LTTE to declare their 'dream eelaam' |

Lets Not forget where JVP has come from , when I was at Vidyodaya 1989 these were the very elements caused so much Grief to Mother Lanka. Because they have Come From RITIGALA to PARLIAMENT , and against LTTE doesn?t mean they are saviours of Our Nation. Every one should remember one thing Army has fought the war for nearly 20 years and it was a never winning war. And we have lost confidence of Majority of the Tamils. Tamils will trust LTTE to Sri Lankan Army and whether you like or not North and east is quite independent already. Isn?t this an opportunity to salvage a dignified , unified settlement? JVP is a Racist element which will do more damage to our beloved county. So back off and let the President take over the Peace Initiative.

Good on you JVP.
Innocent tamils in sri lanka donot need a ISGA Under the LTTE.There are so many other political groups in the country and they have a right to engaged i n politics in North as well.After the Tsunami we realised how capable of JVP for rebuild our country.The way they supported Tamils Muslims and singhaleese need to be appriciated.
I think LTTE Must wake up and give up their racist ideas of dividing Sri Lanka along the race line and should help the country to be united.We do Understand JVP Now!!!!!!!

| Already the country is divided & the only solution to UNITE the Country is WAR to MILITARILY CRUSH the TAMILS FOREVER. All JVP comrades should join the forces and must mercilessly fight the war to safeguard MOTHER LANKA. If JVPers do this, there are the real sons of Sinhalese Lions. MOTHER LANKA URGENTLY NEED LEADERS LIKE DUTU GEMUNU TO UNITE THE COUNTRY. JVP ers are the real patriots & sons of true sinhalese & hope they will become Dutu Gemunus & unite the country by crushing tamils. |

we dont have to be racist here. Its not about crushing Tamils, its about crushing the LTTE. I am sure all sinhalese, tamils and muslims can get along pretty well ( of course there would be problems, but not as big problems as if to go for a war )
Yes, the JVP did a pretty good job with the Tsunami aftermath. I think they have cleared a lot of misunderstanding amoung the population and i think they would be strong enough to contest individually in the next election. The whole reason Chandrika is still in power is because of JVP coalition. |

| If there is no JVP, ISGA would have been given by now to tamils, and it is because of Patritic JVP it is not given so far and HOPE it will never given. There is no need of ISGA or not any other administrative set up is needed for tamils in Sri Lanka. Tamils in Sri Lanka are Usupers & mercenary army invaded from India, and all of them are either anti-sinhalese (including the most celebrated Karuna is the killer of Buddhist Monks in Aranthalawa) or LTTE supporters. As there is no difference between LTTE and Tamils, it is not LTTE problem, but it is a tamil problem (Even policywise, there is no difference between EPDP, Karuna and Wanni LTTE). As long as Tamils are majority in Northern Sri Lanka LTTE will be there. The only solution for this National Problem is to Mercilessly Crush the Tamils by WAR. Hope JVP will Crush Tamils Soon...Sooner the better and hope for the best !!! |

Anath2005,
You are wrong my dear.
Me, a bluddy sinhalese, not tell to crush all tamils.
What happened in the dark, already happened and cannot reverse. Lets not make the same mistake when in the light.
There is no need of crushing Tall amils, but yes true there is a needy badly required to crush all LTTEers.
All the Tamils are not LTTE but all the LTTErs are Tamil, let's distingush this and fight suitably.
True we need Dutugemunus, Puranappus in this era too.
