COLOMBO: Despite yesterday`s attempt on his life, Pakistan High Commissioner in Sri Lanka Bashir Wali Mohmand reiterated that Pakistan will continue to stand for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka.
`Our policies are always based on principles. We will not condone any terrorism. We believe in the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka and will continue to do so,` the High Commissioner who narrowly escaped a bomb explosion targeting him in Kollupitiya yesterday told the Daily News. The High Commissioner`s vehicle and security escort were also damaged in the explosion which took place when he was travelling with his wife.
He said that Pakistan was also facing the same problem of terrorism and his country always stood for Sri Lanka`s territorial integrity .
Asked whether Pakistan`s strong stand for an undivided Sri Lanka was the reason for the failed attempt on his life, Mohmand said it could be.
`It is too early to jump to any conclusions. The phenomenon of suicide bombings is part of the whole game. Let us know who the culprit is after the Government investigates the incident. But I would like to reiterate that Pakistan will continue to stand for Sri Lanka`s territorial integrity,` he said.
Recalling the incident, the High Commissioner said he was travelling to keep an appointment after taking part in the flag hoisting ceremony of the Independent Day celebrations at the High Commission when the explosion took place.
`When we were passing Kollupitiya at around 1.05 pm we heard an explosion with a flash of light. My security back up which must have seen it coming and covered my vehicle. But four of them died due to the blast`.

My heart goes for those four security personnel and their families.
I hope authorities inform the civilians that here after any people trying to come close to a convoy of vehicles with a VIP is not tolerated.
On the other hand, thouse four people should have given permission shoot any one coming close.
Bereaucrats in defence forces should care more about their subordinates. they should show true leadership.
I think, GOSL is talkng to Pakistan about some T-55 tanks and big aircrafts. |

That is why you encourage terrorists to bomb Indian parliament and public places. There are more Muslims in India whose President is a Tamil speaking Muslim. Will he ever even dream such a liberal policy in Pakistan or Sri Lanka.
Pakistan bombed former East Pakistan and sent Pakistani soldiers to occupy its former province EP. HE forgot what happened to Pakistan sovereignity and territorial integrity. East Pakistan seceded and formed Bangladesh.
The military govenment that this man represents give arms to Sri Lanka to bomb and kill its minorities and go in the same way as his country. That is prompt Northeast to secede and form Ealam.

Oii Bashir
Why don't you ban LTTE. What a democratic pluralistic country. Please go on and ban.
Pakistan stands for Sri Lanka's sovereignty - what about Kashmir

Pakistan and its diplomats should take this attack personally and ensure that some top LTTE leaders are eliminated in style...paynng the ultimate price. (Use expertise of the kashmiri boys.)
Everyone now get ready... LTTE is making blunder after blunder.... Oh... please take this route.
(One time I was down and out... thinking that LTTE was just about to join the political mainstream...
Imagine the situation with that card up their sleeve! ) |
