We need time to concider LTTE ceasefire offer - Govt
The head of the government peace secretariat, Rajiva Wijesinghe, says the government needs time to carefully consider the LTTE call for a ceasefire during the SAARC summit and will wait till it is officially communicated.
'We need peace. We will wait and see if they will make the offer to us directly or through Norway (the peace facilitator), if they (LTTE) are serious about it,' AFP qouted Wijesinghe as saying.
'They (LTTE) has offered similar things in the past and militarily beefed up their capabilities. We need to be careful,' Wijesinghe said.
