PNM wants Bermeo out
Co-secretary of the Patriotic National Movement (PNM) has urged Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera to take necessary action to get the serving UN Representative in Sri Lanka, Miguel Bermeo replaced as it is obvious he is conducting himself in a pro- LTTE manner.

In a letter to the Foreign Minister Dr.Gunadasa Amarasekara said it was Mr. Bermeo who arranged a meeting between the head of the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) and the UN’s Special Envoy for Tsunami Reconstruction, former US President Bill Clinton who was in Sri lanka last week.

Dr.Amarasekera also said Mr. Bermeo was responsible for the UN Secretary General issuing a condolence message on the death of senior LTTE member Kaushalyan earlier this year.

Dr. Amarasekara said it was clear Mr. Bermeo is engaged in pro-LTTE activities and the UN office in Kilinochchi was being used for such activities.
