Will Govt. capture East if it had a pact with LTTE

(LeN-2007 June 26, 8.00pm) Minister of sports Gamini Lokuge questions whether the government would take measures to capture the eastern areas of the island if it had a deal with the LTTE as alleged by Mangala Samaraweera and Sripathi Suriarachchi.

The minister raised this question addressing the media this afternoon at the UNP democratic faction party office this afternoon.

He added that troops have now gained control in most areas of the east and that Mangala and Sripathi are trying to talk about a pact between the government and the LTTE to create a suspicion among the people.
