A special proposal has been presented to the cabinet to proscribe tiger terrorist organization. The cabinet met this evening with President Mahinda Rajapakse and is still deliberating on this proposal.
The Government has been greatly concerned regarding the murders of Luxman Kadirgamar, renowned Foreign Minister, Deputy Head of Govt. Peace Secretariat Kethesh Loganathan and the suicide attempt on the Army Commander Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka. The immediate cause for the proposal to be presented is today�s unsuccessful suicide attempt on Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse.
Further, the mass murder at Kebethigollawa, Habarana attack on unarmed Navy men, Mawil Aru incident too have been taken into consideration for presenting the proposal to the cabinet today.
The Government's stand is that a terrorist organization that has not shown any response to the peace process but continue with their savage programme of murdering senior Government leaders and officers of security forces being allowed to have free access to the society is a serious blunder. According to internal sources of the Government the President too has taken a firm stand on this matter.
The Government is considering imposing a conditional ban on tiger organization. According to the conditions a guarantee that they would stop all atrocities would be included say sources. A committee is to be appointed to study this and present proposals to the cabinet.
Meanwhile, the JVP, taking into consideration the conduct of the tiger terrorist organization has made a special request from the President and the Government to proscribe the tiger organization and act accordingly.
If the tiger organization is proscribed within Sri Lanka diplomatic community including Norway would have to cease their relations with that organization and any individual or an organization will not be able to have any dealings with the tiger organization. Hence, the decision to proscribe the tigers if taken by the Govt. would be another major defeat to tiger terrorists.
