Govt. says no secret deals with LTTE

The government told parliament yesterday there was no basis to allegations by ousted minister Sripathi Sooriyarachchi of secret deals with the LTTE while Mr. Sooriayarachchi who was in the House at that stage remained silent though he last week said he would soon give details of the alleged deals.
Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayake in response to questions said he could not submit any report to parliament on the allegations as there were no such deals.
In an interview with a Sinhala weekly, Mr. Sooriyarachchi alleged that top government politicians had signed a deal with the LTTE secretly regarding the execution of war in the eastern province bypassing Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi where the LTTE was militarily strong.
He also told a news conference last week he would release the tape recordings containing, among other things, secret information about those who struck deals with the LTTE before the election of Mr. Rajapaksa as president.
Referring to these media reports, Chief Opposition Whip Joseph Michael Perera demanded an explanation from the government on the alleged secret deals with the LTTE. The Prime Minister told the UNP to direct those questions to Mr. Sooriyarachchi as the government knew nothing about such deals.
Mr. Sooriayarachchi along with dissident group leader Mangala Samaraweera were present in the House but they remained silent and left parliament soon after the Prime Minister`s denial. Mr. Samaraweera and Mr. Sooriyarachchi were greeted by a cheering opposition when they entered parliament yesterday morning and they occupied seats in the back row of the government side.

Humm lets see...Forget Sripathis alligations. Lets see the facts...
1. LTTE which was supposedly in bed with RW, ensures MRs victory. There were roumers about the part played by Tiran Allas.
2. Govt conducts war only in the east. Hardly any attacks in the North. Only a few air strikes once in a while.
3. No major attacks in Colombo by LTTE.
4. MR commits Major human rights violations and West relaxes some of the stringent measures against the LTTE.
5. Three of the 'SUPPOSEDLY' BIGGEST TRAITORS - Milinda Moragoda, GLP, Rajitha are Senior Cabinet Ministers, while downgrading senior SLFPers.
6. Sripathi alledges link between MR and LTTE.
7. MR who kicked out Sripathi and Mangala wants to 'kiss and make up' PROVIDED, Sripathi withdraws the alligations.
8. 35 years in Politics and MR cant put forward a political solution to the NE issues (exactly what the LTTE wants).
Interesting indeed..... :)
How much money was made by the people concerned?? How much money was made over the dead bodies of Srilankan soldiers???

SIRI-PATHI is expert in blaming and accusation. So his accusations are not mush important and not much to be considered. If MR presents his former ministry with high luxury facilities he will be turn his accusations towards LTTE and famous UNP.
ANURA and SIRI-PATHI not important for SL. The problem is Mangala. He has massive voting base in MARATHARA.
I hope he will re ?join Ministry and I know one thing, He never ever join UNP. |

| Howard is a guy who has 1400 troops in Iraq and thinks that he is on equal footing with US who have over 140,000 troops and has the balls to criticize Obama. |
