SOME INTERNAL FRACTIONS TRYING TO DIVIDE THE COUNTRY:WARNASINGH­E

- BY AJITH SIRIWARDAN­A

The Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) yesterday introduced an 18 fold programme to defeat what they termed the ‘Geneva Agenda’ of the Internatio­nal community.

UPFA Colombo district candidate for the Western provincial Council elections Nishantha Sri Warnasingh­e who compiled the programme said it was the responsibi­lity of everyone to get together and counter these challenges despite political difference­s.

He said it was the National Movement Against Terrorism introduced by the JHU which paved the way for the victory of the 30-yearold war.

“We were able to end the three decade war within three years. We introduced the Anti-Terrorist National Movement and it helped to win the war. And there had not been any explosions during the last five years. It is the responsibi­lity of all of us to protect the peace we achieved. Now the LTTE Diaspora and LTTE internatio­nal network had begun their second innings to divide the country. This 18-fold programme introduces how we should get together internatio­nally, economical­ly, politicall­y and socially to defeat these challenges,” Mr. Warnasingh­e said.

Mr. Warnasingh­e, who is also the JHU National organiser expressed these views at an event held in Colombo where the 18-fold programme he had complied to counter Geneva was launched.

Mr. Warnasingh­e said America was trying to isolate Sri Lanka internatio­nally by accusing the country of human right violations, warcrime allegation­s and impose economic sanctions while trying to intervene in Sri Lanka’s internatio­nal affairs.
