Yesterday,
the newly formed Sinhala Urumaya Party urged the government to seek
unconditional assistance from friendly countries such as India, Pakistan
and China, to prevent the total fall of Jaffna.
In a
statement, the Party said that Palaly airport was now vulnerable and
thousands of troops were in danger. Since
the Pallai base has fallen, the runway at Palaly is in peril.
If Palaly falls the peninsula will become a death trap for the
thousands of troops fighting within, they said.
The loss
of Jaffna together with the troops will lead to the naked exposure of
Welioya, Mannar, Trincomalee, and Anuradhapura and Puttalam bases for
tiger attacks. The fall of
Jaffna will not only lead to the heavy loss of lives, but also will bring
about a spell of doom to the very existence of the Republic of Sri Lanka,
the Party observed. The
government should concentrate on the extreme gravity of the situation and
put strong force on the captivation of the Peninsula. The party however, urges the government to seek unconditional
assistance, saying that any delay would result in the government having no
country to rule.
