No democratic government could allow a banned terrorist organization, such as the LTTE, to lay claims to tombs or monuments, Jaffna Security Forces Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurasighe said yesterday. He added that the rhetoric of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) on the issue was quite different to what the educated former Supreme Court Judge Chief Minister of the Northern Province C. V. Wigneswaran, who was well aware of his surroundings, said.
When al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden was caught by the United States and killed no one had asked where his body was and the US said it had been dumped in the Pacific Ocean. No one spoke of tombs or monuments for him. Terrorism in America was no different to terrorism in Sri Lanka, Hathurusinghe said.
Hathurasighe was responding to questions on the present situation in the North.
Asked to comment on calls for the army to vacate of High Security Zones or land in the Northern Province he said that the Military had left with only 50 houses or 60 blocks of land remaining to be handed over in another six to seven weeks.
He said: "As we have released 21,000 acres or more of High Security Zone land in the Jaffna District and over 8,000 houses, Today, the military does not occupy any public land. We are utilising only state land."
