EPDP condemns SLMM partiality

The Eelam Peoples Democratic Party has registered its strong protest against the Scandinavian truce monitors (SLMM) ‘being partial towards the Wanni Tigers’.

The party has decided to complain to the diplomatic community of the SLMM’s ‘biased attitude’, political party sources said yesterday.

"Since the day the Cease Fire Agreement was signed, the Wanni Tigers have killed more than 100 members of the EPDP, 70 intelligence officers of the army and a large number of Tamil people opposed to the Tigers’ terrorist conduct," a EPDP spokesman said.

"We regret the silence of the SLMM on all these assassinations," he said. The EPDP says it will expose to the world the SLMM’s partiality which has prevented them from condemning LTTE atrocities and adopting preventive measures in the true spirit of the CFA.
