Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran said today the gangsters who call themselves the ‘Aava’ group operating in the North is ‘politically-motivated and army-assisted’.

He told a news conference in Colombo that the group did not originate from among the Tamil community per se.

Mr. Wigneswaran said he was speaking to the media on behalf of his Tamil People's Council formed with the backing of the Jaffna-based civil society to advocate the rights of Tamils.

He said the police had been directed to get to the bottom of this problem. (Kelum Bandara)

CV is nurturing Aava the same way Amirthalingam nurtured LTTE. In the end, CV will be treated by Aava the same way LTTE treated Amirthalingam.

All tamils are no LTTE'ers or sympathisers. If an allegation is made, the state should investigate and find it. Only racist elements make adverse comments on any side. Be united. Division never makes unity. We have suffered for more than 30 years. Hence, when making statements it should be perfect.

He is so greedy to become the leader of TNA.

Lankans peaceful? When? If so what is all the religous hatred about once again?

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 23 November 2016 08:49 AM

Preliminary investigations by the CID has found that army deserters are involved.... that itself says a lot of this hidden story.

He has a confrontational attitude ignoring his responsibility as the CM. He is only wasting the time conflicting with the Centre when he is able to do a wonderful job for his suffering people via DM Android App

However, what he says is possible but, who is behind it is what is important.

Rukshani Wednesday, 23 November 2016 07:03 AM

Dancing according to International LTTE groups to create a seperate country so that peaceful lankans can live in fear for many generations like India and Pakistan.

Premalal Wednesday, 23 November 2016 06:33 AM

Yes. It is obvious they are politically motivated. But they are assisted by this man diaspora who wanted to show to the world that no law and order in Northern part of sri lanka. I can't believe why this stupid government doesn't take any action for this man

Kumar Wednesday, 23 November 2016 05:59 AM

Mr Wigneswaran, a Lawyer, former Supreme Court Judge,belonging to mainstream Hindu Jaffna society , is so in contrast to LTTE terrorists,is the man who can bring permanent peace between the Tamils and Sinhalese.

If the group did not originate from the tamil community, who are then then? The thug-culprits who were caught owned up to being tamil, so what does that say?
