Vajira calls for negotiated settlement
Says only lunatics believe in war .......by Lalith Chaminda and S. K. Kaluarachchi Our Galle correspondents(island.lk)
Asserting that problems couldn’t be solved by military means, UNP MP Vajira Abeywardena recently attacked the ongoing military campaign against the LTTE. The Galle district MP emphasised that wars wouldn’t produce any winners. Addressing a public gathering at Kaduruduwa Methodist Church, at Akmeemana, he said that only idiots and lunatics would believe in a military victory.
He said that as Buddhism would never approve of war, the ongoing military campaign should be called off immediately, to pave the way for a negotiated settlement with the LTTE.
He urged the government to make a genuine bid to resolve the crisis and said that the country could no longer afford to continue with an increasingly costly war.
The MP said that people shouldn’t gloat over the killing of combatants. Only the wretched could be happy over battlefield deaths. He said that UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe firmly believed in a negotiated settlement.
Chief UNP organiser for Akmeemana and Southern Provincial Councillor, Wijepala Hettiarachchi warned the government of the danger in antagonising India. Accusing the government of keeping the people in the dark, he said the three decade old war was now in its most dangerous stage.
