Sri Lanka Government snubbed moves by the LTTE remnants to hold a ‘poll’ in April 2010 to elect members to its so-called transitional Government, saying this was another futile attempt to revive the terror organisation. The Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama told Sunday Observer that their (LTTE) declared Government-in-exile was a myth and so is the move to hold a poll as announced on November 5 by the US based LTTE proxy Visuvanathan Rudrakumaran. “If they try to perpetuate LTTE terrorism in the guise of various other front movements, this will also be countered by us,” he said commenting on Rudrakumaran’s claim. The LTTE is banned in countries, including the US, where Rudrakumaran who is said to have taken over the Diaspora activities of the LTTE, is based. The Minister said, “No country should be allowed to host any groupings or meetings that serve a separatist cause in Sri Lanka.” Earlier, Rudrakumaran said the poll will be conducted among the Diaspora community to elect members for what they called the Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (PTGTE). Further, International terrorism expert and Professor of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Singapore, Rohan Gunaratna said the LTTE international wing has three factions with Rudrakumaran heading its political affairs part and Oslo (Norway) based Nediyawan who strives to continue the LTTE armed struggle, leading another. “The more significant threat to Sri Lanka will come from the Nediyawan factor.” Gunaratna warned adding that Norway held a huge responsibility to ensure that the LTTE is dismantled on their soil since the country has emerged as a key centre for LTTE activities. According to Gunaratna the most secretive faction of the LTTE is headed by Ponnaiah Anandarajah alias Ayyar who is a US citizen and a double Accountant. He was responsible for procuring weaponry from North Korea that was used to kill tens of thousands of civilians and military personnel. “Ayyar’s right hand man Ravi Shankar Kanagarajah alias Sangili is now under investigation in Canada over the recently intercepted LTTE ship MV Princess Easwary smuggling LTTE cadres,” he further said.

Meanwhile, acting on information provided by a special Police team, the Criminal Investigating Department (CID) arrested a key Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) suspect involved in the Central Bank bomb blast in 1996 from the Udarikulam Road of Chettikulam in the Vavuniya District, reports Daily News. Sellathambi Navaratnam (53) had surrendered to the Security Forces as an Internally Displaced Person (IDP) during the last stages of the battle in Vellamullivaikkal on May 16, 2009 along with several other IDPs. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), I. M. Karunaratne, said in the Government move to resettle the IDPs from camps in Vavuniya, people aged over 60 were released in the recent past. Producing a forged Identity Card, Navaratnam escaped from the camp in Vavuniya. “Navaratnam who is 53 years, grabbing the opportunity forged an ID card indicating that he is over 60 years and used it to flee from the IDP camp,” he added. “It was revealed that Navaratnam had played a key role in the Central Bank bomb blast in 1996. He had brought the bomb laden lorry to Colombo on before the attack and returned to Kilinochchi,” the SSP said. He noted that Navaratnam was convicted by the Colombo High Court for his involvement in the bomb blast. He was sentenced to 200 years imprisonment.

The Government despite having given a pledge to resettle all the displaced people by the end of January 2010 said on December 29 that there was no deadline for the resettlement of the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) who were in the camps in Vavuniya. Disaster Management and Resettlement Minister Samarasinghe told Daily Mirror Online that no such assurances were given earlier. “We did not promise to complete the resettling process on a particular date. However, the Government is working hard towards completing the process as soon as possible,” he said. He said around 100,000 IDPs still remain in the camps whilst 20,000 have been granted freedom of movement from the camps. The Minister said the Government had organized ‘go and see visits’ for the IDPs to enable them to visit their homes and allow them to decide if they wished to remain in their home towns or otherwise. “If they want to return to their homes, then they may. However, if they wish otherwise we will make other arrangement for them,” he added. Minister Samarasinghe said that he could not comment on what would happen to the camps once all the IDPs were resettled, but said that the permanent structures once vacant would most likely be utilised.
