MaRa creates murder climate in Jaffna again: Gota’s murder group candidate shoots down opponents

(Lanka-e-News-02.Sep.2013, 10.30PM) Just when the UN human rights Commissioner concluded her tour of Jaffna , the candidates of MaRa’s own party for the north provincial council (NPC)elections began their campaign on a most ruthless violent note- candidate Kumar Sanath and his supporters were shot at by Sathasivam Ramanathan who is enjoying Gotabaya’s patronage.

Satahasivam Ramanathan’s son Angjan Ramanathan is also an Alliance candidate for the NPC elections. The shooting took place in the vicinity of Chavakacheri post office on27th August. Two persons have sustained injuries. One victim had received injuries to his head , while the other had received injuries to his leg, and both are admitted to the Jaffna hospital.


It is most significant to note that after the conclusion of the 30 year old war , it is between the MaRa’s candidates this shooting had taken place once again in the north. . It is the consensus that Ramanathans -father and son are flaunting their murderous power with the patronage of Gotabaya , the criminal defense secretary of SL Though Satahsivam Ramanathan was arrested 28th Aug evening , no weapons of his had been taken into custody. 

The Jaffna headquarters police inspector Sigera who is as notorious as any criminal is upholding not the laws but the lawlessness presently prevailing in the country . Sathasivam is in possession of three T 56 weapons and a mini ooshi gun used by the Forces.

Although the complaint was made by the victims yesterday evening , Sathasivam Ramanathan had been arrested only after 24 hours , and his weapons had not been taken into custody.. 

Sigera the notorious Inspector who dances to the murder and Looney tunes of Gota can never do anything that is lawful . Gota has appointed 6 army personnel including two Colonels during the election period in order not to enthrone the law but rather to dethrone the laws.

All the police stations in the north have to abide by the orders of these six officers who have made the northern security power headquarters as their center . The fear psychosis that has been created in the north , had rendered it difficult for other political parties to do their election activities. The 18 candidates of the UNP are contemplating withdrawing from elections vis a vis their vulnerability to life risks and absence of adequate security to them in the present volatile climate , the sole architects of which are Gota and his marauding team.

The UNP chief Minister candidate Thiagaraja Nuwarageshwaram said, this decision was arrived at following the latest escalation of violence and climate of insecurity for the opposition. Within two hours of opening of the new UNP party branches at Jaffna and Karainagar , the MaRa marauders and murderers have stormed them and launched attacks causing loss and damage. 

If security is not provided the UNP candidates will be withdrawing , he added. It is most unfortunate that after the end of a most cruel war in the north , what this government is offering is not peace and prosperity to the people but murder and ruthless violence , he further noted.
