Remove SLMM head, CBK tells Norwegian PM President Chandrika Kumaratunga on Thursday, formally requested the Prime Minister of the Royal Norwegian Government to take action to remove Major General Tryggve Tellefsen, head of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) from his post. A press release from the Presidential Secretariat states: "It is considered that Major General Tellefsen's conduct has been unsatisfactory in so far as the security interests of Sri Lanka are concerned. The President has pointed out to the Prime Minister of Norway that the impartiality and objectivity of Major General Tellefsen in discharging his duties under the Ceasefire Agreement have caused serious doubts. "The most recent incident is that of giving information to the LTTE thereby preventing the apprehension of a LTTE ship suspected of smuggling arms to Sri Lanka". |
