Hartal in Vavuniya

Tuesday, 27 July 2010 10:57

By Romesh Madushanka

Traders staged a hartal in Vavuniya this morning against the alleged inaction of the police to conduct an inquiry into the abduction and later release of a businessman in the area for a Rs.600,000 ransom.

The Vavuniya traders closed shop during the hartal demanding the police to probe the abduction and arrest those responsible.

How can they expect justice from police, while the Government elements itself doing these kind of things in Tamil areas.

Wonder how if it was during LTTE period..It is good that these people are enjoying more freedom than the black past.. at least they can stage a Hartal now.

Even during the LTTE period several times Hartal were held. But unfortunately didn't come to light since forces, police and the govt. supportive elements have threatened and stopped it halfway since all of them had share

If any Hartal was held, it should be against the LTTE as they were the rulers of Vavuniya those days. Then why do you say that they were stopped by the government bodies.. ?

-0+15 # Ram 2010-07-27 14:05

Gayan, so against whom hartal is going on now ? Do you want to say LTTE!!!

-0+4 # raki 2010-07-27 17:45

Vavuniya town has never been under LTTE control.......

-2+10 # ray 2010-07-27 14:42

I think Gayan has a point. But whats the point if the Govt. officials and the police are behaving like the LTTE.
Where is the freedom from the LTTE if there is no difference?

-4+2 # James bond 2010-07-27 14:58

does it make any difference for the harassed or the abducted ones?

-0+5 # nandasena 2010-07-27 17:24

For Gayan getting abducted and demanding ransom is freedom? You must be supporter of this corrupt government!!!

It's time law & order is established in the North & East. Its incumbent on the Police to win the hearts and minds of the people in these areas and bring normalcy as soon as possible.

-0+1 # thamilppodiyan 2010-07-27 17:20

But the Police is Helpless. . . .
They are carrying out orders rom so many Masters . . .
What can they do ?

-4+8 # Farook 2010-07-27 12:33

So who suffered from the hartal? Think. If hartals can correct the police, we would have the best police in the world.

-0+3 # thamilppodiyan 2010-07-27 17:21

That doesn't mean you should not TRY . . .

-2+25 # kesavan 2010-07-27 12:42

Gayan....can you please educate yourself...this the problem with 99% sinhalese. Vavuniya town upto omanthai never has been under LTTE control. it was always under GOSL. You guys should be ashamed. We just live in a small country but dont even know or didn't even bother to know the truth.

-6+6 # Wasantha 2010-07-27 13:12

If police did not show any interest to execute the duty, that means this was commited by a powerful element , who has the government backing. Do not forget that even though some former terrorists acted like reformists, still we cannot trust them 100%.

Actions has to be taken to stop these abduction which could damage the image of this country.
