It was blamed army intelligence unit responsible for the attack carried out against the vehicle of Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian E.Sarawanabawan when he visited to solve the clash between Jaffna university students and military personals.

Speaking to media MP went on to say, I visited Jaffna University this morning to hold investigations on tense situation reported in the university premises. However I was not permitted to enter the university compound. Due to this have parked my vehicle nearby and enter to the university. Only the military and police personals were deployed in the site. When I returned back my vehicle was completely damaged and also added members of the army intelligence unit responsible for this activity, MP said. (2nd lead) Police together with army carried out brutal attacks against Jaffna University student’s stage peaceful protest for their basic rights and later on arrest 5 of them. Members of the army intelligence unit cause damages to my vehicle in front of the army and police personals. Security personals arrested student’s stage peaceful protest and fail to arrest suspects cause damages to my vehicle. This activity clearly proves military personals directly involved in the attack on my vehicle, said the TNA parliamentarian. MP made this statement during a special media briefing orgaisned at the Uthayan rest house in Jaffna this afternoon. Addressing the briefing MP went on to say, in the recent past government speak about the reconciliation activities in this country. Military personals continuously intervene into day today activities of Tamil people residing in the north and east parts of this country. If such situation continues it was unable to establish reconciliation for next five years in the North and East provinces. As a parliamentarian students requested me to intervene on this issue where they face threatening from security personals. Security personals fail to respect me. Military personals continuously treat Tamil people and University students as their enemies. Tamil National Alliance continuously stresses the government to grant political solution in this country. We have pay special attention on problems face by our people. Last evening military personals threw stones on me and cause damages to my vehicle. I have filed complaint at the Jaffna police station. We will inform ministry of Defence and parliament this regard.
