'Will defeat Colombo's international safety net'- LTTE

[TamilNet, Tuesday, 05 October 2004, 18:03 GMT]
''The Sinhala state is trying to weave an international safety net against Tamils. Our political action committe is explaining the legitimacy of our struggle to the international community to defeat such machinations of the Sinhala state. We will never allow Sinhala nationalists or thier allies to defeat our struggle. The Sri Lankan President is not sincere about the peace process'', said Mr. C. Ilamparithy, head of LTTE's political division for Jaffna Tuesday evening.

Mr. Ilamparuthy was speaking at a function in Theeruvil, Valvettithurai to mark the 17th year of 17 LTTE commanders and fighters who commited suicide in the custody of the Sri Lanka army.

''Sinhala leadership conspired to betray Kumarappa, Pulendran and the other martyrs and caused their death. No Sinhala conspiracy can defeat us today.

National Advisory Committe on Peace and Reconcilitatin is a canard by the Sri Lankan President to delay peace talks and prepare for war'', Mr. Ilamparithy said.
