"Only our political members are functioning in the civilian areas and the main towns. Our armed cadres are in the jungles," he said.
He added that human rights organisations and the SLMM should try to push the government for an election rather than forcing the group to disarm.
"We will only put down our arms after the parliamentary elections. It is only after this election that we would be able to get protection like Minister Douglas Devananda," Mahesh said.
