The government says senior officials will continue with their overseas visits as scheduled despite the threat posed by some LTTE lobbyists in the west. Government Defence Spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella told Daily Mirror online that despite the LTTE being defeated militarily by the army, the LTTE diaspora continued to function overseas, posing a threat to the government ministers.
However Rambukwella said that despite such threats, the government would continue their official visits overseas in order to strengthen its international ties.
“We had a threat even when the LTTE was active in the country. However they were wiped out by the army. We will not back out from traveling overseas just because of the LTTE lobbyists,” Rambukwella said.
According to media reports the Permanent Representative of
Media reports said that Margaret McKone, Executive Director at the University said the planned lecture had to be postponed pending a standard ‘security assessment’. (Daily Mirror online)

Are you advocating to abandon non aligned status and join any one of the power bloc, Nato or Warsaw (Is it existing?)cold war again?

the refusal of Visa has nothing to do with the LTTE and Tamil factor......

Kugan , if you know what's going on in international politics and LTTE outside SL can you please explain?

The dear Hon Minister is one of those gentlemen in this cabinet .I wish him all the very best in his endeavors to fight the unjust causes of the LTTE

It is only if the government keeps the LTTE fever alive, they can survive.

Why are you afraid since rich LTTE supporters like KP, Khan etc. are in your team ?

Dr. Kohona is welcome to Canada any time by all peace loving Canadians. U of T will gladly host him at any time when he is ready to do so.

Remember Canda has prosecuted war criminals from other countries. Therefore, it can be a wise decision made by the GOSL or the permanent representative.

Avoid you people going abroad, we can at least save some money and their visits never bring anything good to the country either in this govt.

A government that fast losing the faith of her own people will not be able to trust the other people at all. A natural syndrome

I thought LTTE had gone

What exactly is the threat - the fact that they have requested an independent inquiry on war crimes? So, all the Diaspora is now LTTE? Not even a month ago the Govt claimed 99% of the Tamils abroad are supportive of MR.
How about the Sinhala Diaspora protesting to release SF, to honour HR and safeguard independence of media? Do they pose a threat too? - Are they LTTE as well?

What do you do overseas? Just holidaying ...
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 08:14 PM
Keheliya, you have no clue at all about International Politics and what's going on outside SL, regarding the LTTE.
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 07:59 PM
So, in essence, you imply that all diaspora Tamils are either LTTE or LTTE proxies?
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 07:52 PM
Still the 'LTTE fever' is not over for the government.

'Bajaar eke chandiya'!

Canada, especially the Toronto area, is plagued by LTTE operatives. It's a well known fact. Canada will learn, in due time.
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 07:43 PM
You guys can go to China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran and Libya, to 'strengthen international ties.' There are no LTTE supporters, in those countries. You can also do all your shopping there.
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 06:12 PM
Dear Keheliya, you cannot hide behind the LTTE bogey, any longer, as they are now history. The reason why Tamils are able to win-over world politicians, is because of what is happening to them, in Tamil areas.

Kohona's lecture is not needed by the University in Canada. He is not important there. Now the world looks at us under a 'war-crimes microscope.'
