The British High Commission in Sri Lanka in a communiqué has stated Foreign Minister David Miliband was included in the list of speakers to address the Global Tamil Forum (GTF) conference, held in London, on the theme "a peaceful political solution to the Sri Lankan problem". The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which rejected a series of peace proposals and political packages by a number of governments which ruled Sri Lanka finally formulated the demand for a state of Eelam which was never realized, even until the death of LTTE supremo Prabhakaran.
Joining Democratic Process
The LTTE instead met its waterloo on the battlefront. Today, there is no problem in Sri Lanka. A large number of LTTE leaders have joined the democratic process.
At present, the Tamil people who were afraid of the hand grenade of the tigers and their assault rifles are now freed. They are now satisfied that terrorism has been annihilated from the country.
Future Prospects
Because of the LTTE factor, various segments of communities in this country were deeply concerned about their future. This has been cleared up to the extent that they are now satisfied that the war situation has completely faded away.
In this context the action taken by the UK's foreign minister creates new hope among the remaining terrorists. Therefore, the protest made by the government is by all means legal and right.
