Decision to annul anti-terrorism sanctions:

EU exposes its duplicity

by P. Krishnaswamy

JHU frontliner and Western PC Minister Udaya Gammanpila told the Sunday Observer that Sri Lanka is grateful to the EU because it had now exposed its duplicity to the world with regard to world terrorism. Their decision also reflects that they are working on a political agenda, the Minister said. He was commenting on the Court of Justice decision of the European Union to annul its anti-terrorism sanctions on the LTTE.

Everybody is aware that the LTTE neither gave up terrorism nor separatism and was militarily defeated. The terrorist outfit has been very active in some Western countries, especially in EU countries, propagating its separatism demand, the PC Minister said.

While they claim that they are fighting against world terrorist outfits, the Al-Qaeda and the ISI, they are promoting LTTE terrorism he said.

Sri Lanka should be more cautious now because LTTE terrorism may re-emerge in the Northern province with EU assistance, he said.
