Jaffna university will resume to function, if the four arrested university students are released, if it so, it would not happen at all”. Such statement was stated yesterday by Jaffna district military commanding Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe.
A statement from a military official petrified the university society. A professor commented on this said, “this is a military act to threaten and suppress the democratic right which people had to protest”.
University Vice Chancellor, Faculty Deans, Student Union representatives, arrested students’ parents met Commanding Chief at the Palaly headquarters and such statement was made.
He further said, many are comparing the Jaffna university incident with JVP. This is erroneous. JVP is an approved party which everyone should understand.
Jaffna people and Sri Lanka people suffered for the past 30 years. When I was in Jaffna in year 1981 the situation which was and now it differs.
What did people get from this war?
Defense Secretary has explicitly said, the activities processed in Jaffna university cannot be permitted at all. Activities which disrupt peace cannot be permitted.
Military did not disturb the November lightning of lamps religious events. It did not interfere. However Pirabakaran photograph was hanged inside the Jaffna University and a disturbing situation prevailed. This caused the police to enter the university compound. They called the military for assistance.
Sinhala military did not enter the university, but it was Sri Lanka military. Tamils were in the military in year 1980. But they left the military due to threats from tigers.
We will not permit for terrorism activities.
Persons like Amirthalingam, Nawathinam instigated ultimately what is the outcome?
Attempts are to originate the former situation which was before 30 years.
University students are engaged in such activities and Uruthirakumaran, Emmanul and Vinayagam are in the backdrop. They try to create minor disturbances in the country. Their attempts are to destroy the country.
Separate Tamil Eelam will not in this country. Certainty self-rights would be given. America or Europe will not give you anything.
At present 15 thousand and 100 military are positioned in Jaffna. Do you all have any problems due to military presence? Just feel you’re conscious and say
Ultimately I am saying, if the four arrested university students are released the Jaffna university would resume, if it so, it would not happen at all was mentioned by him.
