[G. Nanchil Kumaran, an Additional Director-General of Police (ADGP), he aslo Commissioner of Chennai Police.] Govt's Devolution Package on 23rd January
(January 18, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) With the arrest of the eight LTTE operatives from suburban Chennai on Thursday, a plan to eliminate important people and smuggle VVIPs to Sri Lanka to boost the sagging morale of the LTTE has come to light.
Though the top brass of the State police are heaving a sigh of relief that the cadres of the outlawed organisation were arrested before they could act, the DMK government is bracing itself to face the political consequences of the movement of LTTE men in Tamilnadu.
Interrogation with Thambidurai Parameswaran alias Nathan alias Suruli and seven others have revealed that they were engaged in the procurement of small iron balls, plastic granules, two-wheelers and boats.
They also were working towards assassinating Varadaraja Perumal and Minister Douglas Devananda. The confirmation of telephonic links between the LTTE men recently arrested at New Delhi and Thambidurai and the hawala channel through which the group received huge sums of money has now made the arrest of Thambidurai Parameswaran and his men the biggest catche for the police in recent times.
Meanwhile, the Tamilnadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president M Krishnaswamy has asserted on Friday that his party would raise the issue of alleged movement of LTTE men in the State.Sources in the government said that if the issue was raised in the Assembly, the government will handle the issue very carefully and make the allies and opposition understand that the government is on guard and taking all action to prevent the banned LTTE from gaining foothold in Tamilnadu.
A much-awaited power devolution package to resolve the over two-decade-old Tamil ethnic conflict will be ready by 23 January, the Sri Lankan government has said.
The government has rejected allegations that its scrapping of ceasefire was responsible for the escalated fighting.
Meanwhile, 'In the wake of divergent views and theories in the political arena, we are determined to provide a devolution package by implementing the All Party Representative Committee (APRC) proposals,' senior government Minister Maithripala Sirisena told reporters.
Sirisena, who is also the General Secretary of the main ruling party-- the Sri Lankan Freedom Party (SLFP), said on the directives of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the APRC was expected to present the devolution proposals on 23 January.
The proposals would then be presented to the Cabinet and party leaders before being placed in Parliament. The Minister refuted claims that the international community was extremely concerned about the abrogation of the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA).
'The escalation of violence by the LTTE could not be merely attributed to the abrogation of the FA as these atrocities of the LTTE were prevalent even during the time the CFA was in operation,' he said.
The LTTE thought it could 'belittle, intimidate and de-moralise the Armed Forces by barbaric acts such as targeting the civilians in Wednesday's bus attack. They are sadly mistaken,' the Minister said on Thursday.
