    Colombo: Sri Lanka's police chief Chandra Fernando has said the Tamil rebels have no right to call for the disarming of other armed groups.

Fernando has described the call by the rebels to disarm other armed groups as "a ridiculous suggestion".

The Inspector General of Police in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper said: "A terrorist group cannot demand other armed groups be disarmed, and they do not have any right to make such a demand."

Fernando said as long as the LTTE remains a terrorist group it cannot demand that another armed group be disarmed.

He, however, maintained it was the responsibility of the government to disarm all armed groups and that includes the LTTE.

Excellent point.

We should have included shooting from the hip kinda people like him in the 'peace talks' delegation.

Imagine the fallout if someone like him and perhaps SL Gunasekera was included in the huge PR campaign that was the Geneva talks!

SL Gunasekera is not an profound genius like this guy. You may not agree with his views
but he is not a bland fool like the current IGP.

whoever says this point.......its absolutely correct.

a terrorist group demands to disarm another terrorist gruop by the very same enemy against whom they fight....

 :wink

Here the saying:  "enemy's friend is friend" seems to be at risk !!!!

At this juncture.....no point finding friends out there........the GOSL  should disarm all .......one suggestion....

DISARM LTTE.....all others will disarm themselves.... :wink:

NOT ONLY THAT IG, WHAT IF KARUNA WANTED THE GOVT  TO  DISARM  LTTE ?.  WHAT I WANT  IS NOT ONLY DISARMING THOSE TERRIORISTS  BUT TO BRING LTTE AND SUN GOD TO AN INTERNATIONAL COURT  FOR KILLING INNOCENT TAMILS,MUSLIMS AND SINHALAS.

As someone said recently, GOSL will be listed in the terrorist list in the near future as they are supporting armed group in a democratically elacted govt.
If the IGP can talk like this, why can't the govt. start fight against ltte and disarm them first. So, was this IGP part of the peace delegation which signed the agreement recently or he didn't have time to read the signed agreement.

This is  a fun. Why cannot LTTE disarm itself?

Nordics and UNP wanted LTTE with GUNS. Why?

The CFA signed by UNP and LTTE is in violation of all democratic norms. I hope the present GOSL must not respect the CFA because it is in violation of all human civilization! The Nordics who are not for any civiliazation in Sri Lanka. They must pack and go at any cost!

This is exactly how you play into the media to discredit LTTE.
On the other hand, that is what Terrorists do: Terrorism = mindless actions.

MR Fernando is talking about something he can't even dream about doing.....disarming LTTE.Why don't you start disarming Colombo underworld and military deserters.Disarming any rebel group is problem of the military and with all the resources we all know how successful they are .Mr.Fernando,Why don't you start weeding out corrupt cops who work for bribes.You are in charge of one of the most corrupted police forces around.

CFA was accepted by all international countries, and the recent talks as well.  But some .. think on one way only.  If you want to disarm LTTE, declare war and start fighting.  These paper Sinhayas also can join the army fight.  I am sure these people are good in writing.  But when they hear tigers are coming the will run away at their maximum speed.  Come on guys, understand the reality and talk with sense.  Otherwise we are digging our own graves.

Sri- Sometimes terrorists have mass support too. Having the public support does not mean the group can't be a terrorist outfit. LTTE is a good example for this.
Al Queda has public support. So does Hamas.

The secret is 'not to wipe out LTTE'. After some 20+ years, the SLA became smart enough to know that wiping out LTTE is somewhat impossible. Afterall, LTTE couldn't 'wipe-out' all the other Tamil groups. TULF is still alive. So are the TELO, EPRLF, EPDP, PLOTE.... So the SLA/GOSL is not going after the 'wiping out' option.  The idea is to take out the terrorist leaders, cause disarray and dis-integration of the terrorist outfit, and it will self-distruct on its own.

Now, more and more Tamil people are realising the true nature of LTTE-
- that LTTE is a mafia-type criminal  organisation trying to safe-guard its business interests and its leadership.
The Geneva talks really exposed the LTTE. The terrorists didn't talk about anything related to the Tamil civilinas- displaced people &HSZ, but infact talked about Karuna group and 'para-militaries' that so far didn't kill any ordinary civilians, but giving nightmares only to the LTTE. Even yesterday, the London-based LTTE terrorist wake up from a nightmare and declared 'if the GOSL doesn't disarm the para-militaries, the second roundof talks will be in danger'.

In another 5 years, LTTE will split further, and will be much weaker.  In 10 years, the kids will study the LTTE in history books.
