EPDP killers assassinate six civilians a day in Jaffna where jungle law prevails
(LeN, 2008 Jan. 01, 9.20 AM) United National Party (UNP) MP T. Maheswaran says that a group of assassins brought from Colombo kills six civilians each day in Jaffna.
Making a statement to 'Lanka-e-News' on abductions, killings and the shortage of essential food items in Jaffna, MP Maheswaran says that the killers are sent from Colombo for one-month service term and they are stationed in EPDP camps guarded by Sri Lanka Army. Maheswaran says that the teams are changed time to time to hide their identity.
Describing his recent five-day visit to Jaffna, Maheswaran said that the people said to him with tears how they suffer under the armed gangs that abduct, kill and rob people. He said that people said to him that these killer teams ask for Rs. 5000 ransom and kill people if not paid. Most people do not stay at homes in the nights and spend the nights in safe places, he says.
When 'Lanka-e-News' enquired why people do not complain, MP Maheswaran said that they have no one to look into these matters and the complainers are killed too.
In some occasions, Tamil youths are arrested under false charges if they do not consent to the attempts to abuse them. He said that jungle law prevails in Jaffna.
The MP pointed out that essential food is not provided to Jaffna people at least on rations. He is to produce a complete report in this regard to the parliament on January 8. Several names of the killers are also to be revealed. He said that this report would be produced to the international community, especially to India.
MP Maheswaran further stated that he was provided 18 member security squad since seven and half years but recently, it was slashed to one ignoring security concerns. When 'Lanka-e-News' enquired why he was not given the two police personnel entitled to a MP, he said that although two were given they are on duty on turns.
He said that he had no problem about war with LTTE. But he says that the opponents are labeled LTTE to take revenge.
