There will be no negotiations or any form of
ceasefire until the LTTE lay down their
arms, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa when
he met the members of Foreign
Correspondents' Association at Temple Trees
yesterday. "We are chasing not only after Prabhakaran
but also Pottu Amman to capture them alive,"
said the President.
President also said that once the Security
Forces capture Prabhakarn he will be
punished under the law which prevails in
this country. If India requests to prosecute
him for the killing of former Indian Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi, we can consider the
matter favourably.
President said that he was confident the
international financial institutions like
World Bank and Asian Development Bank will
assist the government to develop the North
as they are doing in the East.
When asked about falling of Kilinochchi
President said capturing Kilinochchi is
definite but it will take some time.
We are committed to restore democracy in the
North once the region is liberated from LTTE,
assured the President.
The meeting lasted for more than 3 hours.
