PRESS RELEASE.
I strongly condemn the brutal killing of the High Priest of the Santhiveli Pillaiyar Temple Selliah Parameswara Kurukkal by the LTTE Cadre. Brahmins by nature are timid and submissive and rarely fight, quarrel or hurt anybody. These three self proclaimed heroes would have humiliated and tortured this poor Bramin before they gunned him down. The crime he committed was garlanding the Head of the State and the death sentence was passed and executed by three unscrupulous youths of the LTTE cadre.
In all seriousness I ask His Excellency the President whether it is with these irresponsible men that he wants to have talks and hand over the future of the Tamil community to them. With so much of abductions, killings, clay-more mine attacks, does the International Community still want the Government to start talks with the LTTE. If the much pressurized talks take place with the LTTE and if by chance the parties come to some understanding will the Tamils be handed over to LTTE for them to rule?.
I reiterate that under no circumstances the Government should agree to hand over power to them even for a day. Whatever settlement is reached, it should be on the basis of a democratic process.
While expressing my deepest sympathies to the Kurukal’s family, I strongly urge the Government to take over the responsibility of giving good education for his children who are not that fortunate as the children of the LTTE Leaders to have them educated in a foreign country . I hope the TNA also will strongly condemn this cruel act of the LTTE

PRESS RELEASE.
BRUTAL MURDER OF THE HINDU PRIEST
I strongly condemn the brutal killing of the High Priest of the Santhiveli Pillaiyar Temple Selliah Parameswara Kurukkal by the LTTE Cadre. Brahmins by nature are timid and submissive and rarely fight, quarrel or hurt anybody. These three self proclaimed heroes would have humiliated and tortured this poor Bramin before they gunned him down. The crime he committed was garlanding the Head of the State and the death sentence was passed and executed by three unscrupulous youths of the LTTE cadre.
In all seriousness I ask His Excellency the President whether it is with these irresponsible men that he wants to have talks and hand over the future of the Tamil community to them. With so much of abductions, killings, clay-more mine attacks, does the International Community still want the Government to start talks with the LTTE. If the much pressurized talks take place with the LTTE and if by chance the parties come to some understanding will the Tamils be handed over to LTTE for them to rule?.
