President assures safety of Wanni displaced civilians

By Our political correspondent

President Mahinda Rajapaksa reiterated to Tamil United Liberation Front leader V. Anadasangaree that everything was in place to ensure the safety of the displaced civilians in Wanni once they enter the cleared areas.

The TULF leader Anandasangaree met President Rajapaksa at Temple Trees on Friday and discussed the current situation in Wanni and the political developments in South India.

Informed sources said that the President briefed the TULF Chief in detail on the measures that were in place to ensure the safety of the civilians currently displaced in the districts of Killinochchi and Mullaithivu.

President told Anandasangaree that the LTTE has blocked those innocent civilians from entering the cleared areas to create a wrong picture to blame the Government for their heinous acts.

However the Government has made all arrangements to provide food and medication for the civilians from the districts of Killinochchi and Mullaithivu.

The TULF leader told the President that he has written a letter to the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu M. Karunanithi stating the true situation in Wanni and on the adverse propaganda carried out by the LTTE against the Government.
