of such charges

The Leader of Western People’s Front (WPF)
and Convener of Civil Monitoring Commission against Disappearance
(CMC) Mano Ganeshan, while denying the allegations about his
connection with the LTTE, reminded the Government of its own
connections with the LTTE.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Ganeshan said that
it was Basil Rajapaksa and late Jeyaraj Fernandopulle who
insisted on him making a connection between the Government
and the LTTE in year 2005, although Ganeshan denied helping
them as it was against his conscience.
“I never agreed to their demand, as I wanted all the
nationalities to be together and respect one another, instead
of discriminating against each other on religion, creed or
caste. Our presence in this world is temporary therefore why
to fight with one another?,” Ganeshan asked.
He also pointed out that it was the former President Chandrika
Kumaratunga who wanted him to inform the LTTE Leader Prabakaran
not to discontinue the peace talks, although she was ready
to provided security to Karuna Amman who parted from the LTTE
due to some internal crisis.
