Muslims will be
represented at talks with LTTE - President
[February 1, 2006 - 5.10 GMT]
President Mahinda
Rajapaksa gave the assurance that there will be Muslim representation
the forthcoming talks between the Government and the LTTE, scheduled for
later this month.
He gave this
assurance when he met a delegation of the All Ceylon Muslim Congress (ACMC)
at Temple Trees last night (Jan 31).
The President
informed the Muslim delegates that the Government was committed to
achieve peace with dignity, which meant peace for all the people of this
country.
Hitherto, he had at
all times acted with no injustice to the Muslims and he would deviate
from that policy in the future, too.
President Rajapaksa
explained that the primary objective of “Mahinda Chintana” was that of
protecting the rights of all ethnic groups, which included the Sinhala,
Tamil, Muslim, Burgher and all other peoples of this country and that he
would not act in a manner that would harm any citizen of
Sri Lanka.
