மதியுரைஞர் அன்ரன் பாலசிங்கத்தின் செவ்வி.

கடந்த ஞாயிறன்று ஒஸ்ரேலிய ஏ.பி.சி தொலைக்காட்சிக்கு அவர் அளித்த செவ்வி. The last thing Sri Lanka needs is an Islamic Jihad. With a death toll of over 60,000 in a decades-long civil war, allegations of an Islamic Jihad paramilitary group operating against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or LTTE, is causing further fractures in an already tenuous peace. Now, next month's peace talks are in doubt. While the government denies allegations of Islamic paramilitaries, Tamil Tiger leaders say they have the proof. Conference spokesman: The government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE are committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure that there will be no intimidation, acts of violence, abductions, or killings. ******************************* Helen Vatsikopoulos: Dr Anton Balasingham, welcome to Focus. Anton Balasingham, LTTE political advisor: Thank you. Helen Vatsikopoulos: Now, you claim peace talks are in jeopardy because of this "shadow war" also being fought by Tamil paramilitaries controlled by the government. What evidence do you have of this?

Helen Vatsikopoulos: What makes you think the authorities can control them? Because they sound as if they've got a will of their own to fight you. Anton Balasingham: Most of these armed paramilitaries are operating in the government military establishments, in the military camps. So, if Rajapakse government genuinely wants peace, the escalation in normalcy, they can put an end to this violence by disarming these paramilitaries. ... முழுவிவரத்தை அத்தொலைக்காட்சியின் வலைத்தளத்திலிருந்து வாசித்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள். யாழ்ப்பாணத்திலிருந்து வெளிவரும் நமது ஈழநாட்டு என்ற பத்திரிகையில் வந்த தமிழ்வடிவத்தை இங்கே பார்க்கலாம். தமிழ்ப்பதிவுகள்
