SLMC
kept in the dark on JM: Party secretary
The SLMC urged the government to clarify its statements that the peace process could be linked to the proposed agreement with the LTTE. "It is only now the government is trying to sell us the draft they have already made prepared", SLMC Secretary General Hassan Ali told The Sunday Times. He described President Kumaratunga's meeting last week with SLMC leader Rauff Hakeem and Minister Farial Ashraff, to obtain their views on the joint mechanism as 'something close to an ultimatum'. "All this after we were kept out. No one asked us for our opinion. They have begun consulting us only now. Even now we have not been told of the structure of the proposed agreement. “We have merely been promised a look at the draft of the agreement", a disgruntled Mr. Ali said. Mr. Hakeem was not available for comment. |
