To all those politicians and others who are keen to talk to the LTTE, I would ask them to read Mr. Anandasagaree’s letter to Prabhakaran published in ‘The Island’ of 16th October. I would particularly like to draw their attention to the following para.
"My dear Tamby, I feel it is my duty to point out what is wrong and what is right. How can we expect any government to agree to give majority representation for the LTTE in the ISGA. Whatever we demand the concerned parties must be in a position to concede. This demand for majority representation in the ISGA for the LTTE will only be the first step towards the de-merger of the North and the East....." It further states "Will the Tamils agree to an administration of this nature? Will the Muslims and Singhalese agree to a set up like this and Can any government survive after conceding this demand?"
These are the views of a respected leader of the Tamil people. Any government or politician who wants to survive should consider these views before conceding to any of these ISGA proposals.
