Alliance challenges government, whether election for north can be held before June.

Government notifies that it would completely reject the Geneva resolution, and Tamil National Alliance queried whether it will reject the assurances given to the international sector that it would hold the northern election before September month.

Alliance parliament member M.A.Sumenthiran said, the international sector should be more attentive to the activity of the government. If government has the courage and confidence let it conduct the northern election before June month, Sumenthiran challenged.

A media briefing was held in Colombo, and Sumenthiran made the above statement.

Opposition party leader Ranil Wickramasinghe queried in parliament two days back and External Affairs Minister Prof.G.L.Peiris responding to it, explicitly said, they are completely rejecting the resolution implemented at the United Nation Human Rights Council this time.

The implementation of Reconciliation Commission report and holding the northern election before forthcoming September month, recommendations were made in the resolution, hence he queried whether government is rejecting this?

In the settlement of racial crisis, government has given many assurances to India, United America, United National Council including international sector.  However government is rejecting everything.

Minister G.L.Peiris said, this special assurance given to the international society cannot be implemented. He says all the assurances will be functioned by deviating; hence the international society should be more attentive concerning this.

Assurance were given of holding the northern election “saying next year”  and now four years have lapsed. If northern election is held, it is certain that the government will be defeated, and government does not desire to accept defeat, hence it is postponing the election.

This is a perfect opportunity to assess whether government has the support of the northern people and the stance of Tamil people concerning a settlement to the racial crisis, and to what extent the Tamil people support the Tamil National Alliance.

Sumenthiran MP challenged the government and said, if it has the courage and confidence let it hold the northern election before the month of June.
