In the backdrop of the Security Forces inflicting heavy damage on the LTTE in the Wanni, Minister of Foreign Employment Promotion and Welfare and Defence Media Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella has reiterated that there was no ceasefire at this juncture with the LTTE, until the outfit totally disarms itself and enters the political mainstream decently.
Minister Rambukwella made the Government's stance clear on going for a fresh ceasefire by saying that ?First of all the ruthless outfit should completely disarm itself before making any announcement of a ceasefire.
They cannot take the rulers of this country for a ride any more. Whenever a ceasefire was announced in the past it was promptly responded. However, the LTTE played its dirty tricks and deceived the entire country under the banner of ceasefire. It was India that initiated the first ceasefire.
