LTTE faced dead-end in Mankulam, Pooneryn

Refuting certain media reports and allegations, Media and Information Minister and Cabinet Spokesman Anura Priyadarshana Yapa reiterated that the LTTE has been completely defeated and driven out of Pooneryn and Mankulam with absolutely no hopes of a come-back.
Addressing the weekly Cabinet press briefing in Parliament yesterday, Minister Yapa categorically stated that this was a major setback to the LTTE, who had relied heavily on and consolidated their positions in Pooneryn, to attack the Government Armed Forces in the Jaffna peninsula.
This is in no way a tactical pull-out as some critics strive to portray. They used all means at their disposal such as the construction of bunds and various other obstacles on our path to prevent us from reaching there. Losing the A-32 route has been a major blow to them, the Minister said. Furthermore, it has paved the way for us to open-up a road way from Colombo to Pooneryn and then to Jaffna peninsula.
We are in a very strong position now, with LTTE s hopes and aspirations of re-gaining their lost territory a myth, he said.
He pointed out that while the LTTE was being defeated militarily, the APRC proposals for a sustainable solution were being negotiated simultaneously. As has been the norm in similar global conflicts, the President and the Government have consistently urged the LTTE to lay down their arms and join the negotiating table. It is up to them to adhere to these calls or face total destruction.
He stressed however that the Government was not engaged in destroying the Tamil polity, but only eradicating terrorism and paving the way for them to have a democratic environment in which they could elect their own representatives and leaders, like what has taken place in the East.
He opined that the Tamil community is also our own kith and kin, and they too should be protected from the atrocities of the fascist LTTE. How many of their own Tamil leaders like Neelan Thiruchelvam who believed in a political solution, have been killed by the LTTE?, Minister Yapa asked. Responding to queries pertaining to a General Election, Minister Yapa was of the view that a General Election would only be held in 2010.

I garantee all tamils that our EElam leader has not been fighting for over 25 years and look at where we are know.
With just over billions and billions of dollars being spent every day by the GOSL, they contine to destroy and I am guessing that they are missing all of there targets, which end up blowing up hospitals, schools, and the list continues.
Just on an other note the LTTE have built there very own airforce using very LIMITED supplies/money, and have given the Sinhala people and government a suprise and a big blow to its economy.
So please SRI LANKA- understand that you guys will never win this war, and the LTTE will never give up.
REMEMEBER THIS.

Tamils will struggle to voice their grievances through Democratic ways..as it happens in East...LTTE and Diaspora killed prospective leaders and left only blood hungry Militias to take their message to the world.
War will be over in months as no Carders will bring no War.
War is not the point..innocent life's griped under LTTE and their future.
As worriers voice..Tamils will get minimize and come close to 3/4%
when the days go by. |

Dude,
Give us facts to convince that it was very limited money.
So please SRI LANKA- understand that you guys will never win this war, and the LTTE will never give up.
What made you think that people of Sri Lanka will ever give up.
Let me rephrase, --So (please) LTTE, understand that you guys will never win this war, and the people of Sri Lanka will never give up-- |
