The JVP was very critical of the role played by the Norwegian facilitators

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) strongly criticised the statement issued by Sri Lanka’s donor Co-Chairs after a meeting held in Brussels on Tuesday.

Speaking to the media, JVP propaganda secretary Wimal Weerawansa pointed out that LTTE political wing leader SP Thamilselvan did not say that LTTE is ready for unconditional talks.

“Demand made by Thamilselvam that government must stop its attacks before the talks itself is a pre-condition” Weerawansa claimed.

“Government should go to talks with LTTE, only after the LTTE lay down the arms” said Weerawansa

“Its Solheim who says that LTTE is ready for talks without any conditions” JVP argues.

JVP believes that LTTE is weakening at this moment therefore government should react with caution to international pressure.

We request the government that talks should resume only on the grounds that LTTE is going to renounce the violence, the JVP propaganda secretary said.
