Weerawansa foresees UN peace keepers in SL


By Rathindra Kuruwita
 JVP Parliamentary Group Leader Wimal Weerawansa warns that imperialist powers are planning to intervene in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka under the guise of a UN peace keeping force in the near future.

He claimed that these powers will make such an intervention once the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) officially comes to an end.

He stated that hitherto these powers meddled with our domestic affairs through the SLMM, created under the CFA. “But since these monitors have to leave Sri Lanka by January 16, they will have no way of interfering in the future,” the JVP Parliamentarian said.

Weerawansa added that these forces will not be deterred by this setback, but will find other ways to keep its presence in Sri Lanka. “Yasushi Akashi, the Special Peace Envoy of the Japanese Government, has told an Australian news agency that if the CFA is annulled and there is total war in Sri Lanka the UN should step in and send a peace keeping force,” the JVP MP said.

He, therefore, called on the government to take precaution against such developments.
