Make use of the cowardly attacks to take measures to proscribe tiger organization!

In a brutal attack carried out by tiger terrorists at Sripura area at Kebethigollawa on the 5th of this month, targeting a passenger bus, 16 innocent civilians were killed and more than 20 were injured. The JVP extends its sympathies to the relatives and friends of those who were killed in the brutal and cowardly attack and wishes speedy recovery for those who were injured in the incident.

When considering the manner the separatist tiger terrorists had carried out the cowardly attack it is obvious that it had been intentionally targeted civilians.

Such attacks targeting civilians carried out by tiger terrorists again emphasize that the government needs to take more decisive and serious measures. If the government still lingers on a mentality of retaliation measures only, it would not be adequate. It is important that the government vigorously approach offensive measures to defeat and finally eradicate tiger terrorism. We believe that this offensive should lead not only to defeat tiger organization militarily but also it should be broadened to defeat tigers politically. For this, measures should be taken to abrogate tiger organization making use of the cowardly brutal attacks carried out by it.
