Nadesan says govt. forces will be taught the right lesson.

(August 15, Jaffna, Sri Lanka Guardian) While fighting is raging in the western and eastern flanks of the Wanni with the security forces already having captured LTTE-held Mulankavil and the government hoping to capture the entire region before the end of this year, the LTTE has called upon their people to unite for transforming the Wanni into a graveyard for the advancing forces. LTTE political leader Son in Law to Sinhala, P.Nadesan while speaking at the second commemoration of 53 girl students killed in air attacks at Chencholai said that the massacre of the 53 girls was part of the Tamil genocide programme of the government, the Tamil media quoted him as saying at the commemoration.

Comparing the present military operation in the Wanni to the 1995 operations in Jaffna, he said that:

"In the 1995 the LTTE tactically withdrew from Jaffna but the government claimed that we were completely eliminated. But later we successfully foiled the 'Jaya Sikuru' military operation. Today they have stepped into the land of the Tamils to swallow it. The time is up for the government forces to be taught the right lesson."
