[TamilNet, Wednesday, 28 May 2008, 11:31 GMT]
The National Muslim Council (NMC) in a statement to media said Pillaiyan group should be first disarmed to create normalcy in the east. The Sri Lanka government has not been taking any concrete steps to stop killings and abduction of Muslims by Pillaiyan group, NMC accused.

"NMC condemns Pillaiyan group for using arms against Muslim people while saying that they have accepted democracy.

"It is a coward act to abduct three Muslim traders and later kill them in retaliation to the killing of two cadres of the Pillaiyan group in Muslim dominated Kaathankudy Action should be taken immediately to stop another conflict between Tamils and Muslims," NMC statement said.
