Sangaree, Devananda dismiss reports on new anti-LTTE alliance
Friday, 3 February 2006 - 7:04 AM SL Time

TULF chief V. Anandasangaree and EPDP leader Douglas Devananda yesterday dismissed claims that they were in the process of setting up a new alliance to challenge the LTTE.
`There is not an iota of truth in this,` Devananda said, adding that he was not in anyway involved in a recent bid towards this end.

The TULF chief rejected reports on the formation of an anti-LTTE alliance as a figment of someone`s imagination. He said, `I very strongly deny these reports. I admit having met with the leaders of some political parties a number of times, when I felt that certain issues must be discussed with other Tamil parties. This is necessary because the Tamil Members of Parliament representing the North and East, are not expressing their views courageously even on matters of importance. Whenever the TNA Members failed in their duty I have issued statements after discussing with Leaders of some of the other Tamil Political Parties.

I have condemned the killing of the Police Officer Mr. Charles Abeyawardena and the killing of the five Tamil students at Trincomalee and the Pungudutheevu incident. After consulting the other party leaders I condemned the killing and burning of the Jaffna University student at Kudathansi recently for illicitly transporting sand. Even the University students did not condemn this horrible murder of one of their colleagues.`

`We had been meetings off and on whenever a need arose. Our last meeting was a couple of days back to protest to the Commissioner of Elections and the President against the holding of elections to Local Bodies in the North and the East, where we are convinced that what happened during the last Parliamentary Elections will be repeated.`

`I have nothing to do with any New Party that may be formed, but I will continue to meet leaders of other parties who agreed with me to condemn actions which affect the Tamil people with which we don`t agree. There is no need at this moment to form an anti-LTTE front with the other parties. I do not know Karuna. I have never met him. The rumour that he may join us is spread with mischievous intentions.`

Sangaree,Devananda Dismiss reports,( it is because these they are still reading newspapers.
How this singhala media works?
One will just create a story and say' it was said Such and such ........') the next news paper will say it was reportted that 'such and such ....... , also it was welcomed by XXXXX. a reliable source said it was mainly formed for this purpose.
theafter every paper add salt, sugar ,water and bake it as big.

Karuna who was actually a greedy man, who forgot his responsibility to represent his people, people in thje east knew that there isno discremination against them bu any other tamils , if that was a case karuna wouldnt have gone in a delegation in last peace talk.

He was sent their to represent East tamils in the talks. but he was so greedy he didn care about the people in the east , he had 100 million ruppes in his possesion ( and it came to light to LTTE and LTTE asked him to come to vanni for investigation, and he dragged. meantime with his support of father in law he registered two companies and banked 50 million rupees in eachh company. rest we all know. then he gone to india and reported that he is living in banglore in a safe house. but srilankan government thought there is a opotunity and appoint a monk( covered his face with robe) as Karuna and start issuing statements and threats and recruit people and pay them large amounts and so on.

anyone who knows LTTE knows there is no person who served in LTTE would say things bad about LTTE, they all love the organisation.
it was surprice to tamils that karuna who was liked by many tamils ( now hate them so badly) do such things bad. not because he did a mistake. Many LTTE leaders have made mistakes and they all faced their punishments and now serving in as leaders. if he was a true hero he would have faced the punishments. what he did was he allowed srilankan government to exploit his name and try to discredit Tigers internationally.

what Tamils are known and verry little known to singhalese are there are thousands of well talented people in Tigers and they all are not in public they all work quietly. they will all be made known once the permanant settlements comes. until then there will be limited number of people only bee seen in press and other.
( a singhala guy here said if we kill prabaharan and tamilselvan and two or three others LTTE is finished ,i laughed it is because that is the image LTTE want to picture, LTTE do not want to expose all of its cardets, it is for the security reson)

Both Douglas and Sangaree are using the LTTE platform towards recognition. They must become independent of the LTTE is they are to be a powerful opposition. Those who seek the LTTE position would tend to not become independent.
