Northern Province Chief Minister (CM) C.V. Wigneshwaran said that a conspiracy is being hatched up to assassinate me and put the blame on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), reports Daily Mirror on October 3. He said "I denounced the building of Buddhist temples arbitrarily in the Northern Province. A hate-campaign is going on in the South against me misquoting me as saying that Buddhist temples should not be built in the North and that Sinhalese should not live here and they should be evicted from North, are utter lies. The majority of people have a mindset that we should not express our grievances and we have to accept meekly whatever given to us. I hear that a plot has been designed in the South to kill me and put the blame on the LTTE."

Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe on October 5 stated that SAARC risks becoming defunct or irrelevant if member countries do not address the "core" issue of cross-border terrorism, Times of India reports. "Cross-border terrorism is on the table. SAARC has to look at it and discuss what has happened (cancellation of the SAARC meet). How we are going to handle it ... SAARC has to decide on two issues — cross-border terrorism and areas in which we can work together. If we don't do it, there is no future for SAARC," he said.

Prime Minster Ranil Wickremesinghe addressing a religious event at Gangodawila aea in Nugegoda in Colombo District on October 22 said that Sri Lanka needs a new Constitution since the war, which prevailed for the past 30 years in the country has ended and changes suitable for the post-war era need to be made for the country to go forward, reports Colombo Page.

Sri Lanka Police arrested two suspected members of the 'Aava' sword gang in Jaffna in Northern Province on October 30, reports Colombo Page. The Jaffna Police said two people suspected to be the members of sword carrying 'Aava' gang were arrested while they were traveling on a motorcycle along a by-road in Jaffna. Two swords in their possession were also recovered, the Police said. The suspects have claimed the swords were used for practices of a drama but the Police say swords were larger and not the 'prop' kind used for dramas. However, the Police said the swords were quite similar to the ones discovered in several locations in Jaffna in searches during the last week. The Jaffna Police are on alert after two police detectives were attacked last week with swords in Chunnakam by sword wielding masked individuals on motorcycles. The 'Aava' gang claimed responsibility to the assault on two policemen saying that they attacked the policemen to avenge the death of two Jaffna University students on October 21.The Indian Expressadds that a terror gang, believed to be backed by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and inspired by South Indian films, is reportedly operating in Sri Lanka’s Tamil-dominated Northern District of Jaffna, prompting Police to launch a crackdown. Acts of violence have recently increased in Jaffna suburbs such as Manipay, Kopay and Chunnakam by the sword-wielding Aava Group, Police sources said. It is believed this group was being backed by some politicians and former members of the LTTE. The group is also said to draw inspiration from South Indian films. The group has been accused of murder, plunder of property and assault of people and people fear it due to its attacks which have caused serious injuries to the victims that include two state intelligence operatives.

Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena on October 31 handed over 100 houses newly constructed by the military to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Jaffna in Northern Province and released another 454 acres of land that was seized by the military in war time to the original owners, reports Colombo Page.
