Letter from LTTE Leader to Sri Lanka Deputy Defence Minister, 25 November 1994

Tamils - a Trans State Nation..

"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."
- Tamil Poem in Purananuru, circa 500 B.C

Chandrika - LTTE Talks: 1994/95

Letter from LTTE Leader
to Sri Lanka Deputy Defence Minister

25 November 1994

Col. Anurudda Ratwatte
Deputy Minister of Defence,
Minister of Irrigation, Power and Energy
Sri Lanka

Dear Col. Ratwatte,

Thank you very much for your letter dated 22th November 1994.

We are pleased to note that having realized the serious nature of the incident at Nedunkerni you have taken immediate action to set up a military court of inquiry. We are confident that on the findings of the court appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the perpetrator of this heinous act.

We have given serious thought to your proposal for a bilateral cessation of hostilities for two weeks. While appreciating your gesture, we are of the opinion that temporary declarations of cease-fires would serve little purpose to promote stable peace unless modalities are worked out to ensure strict observation of cessation of armed hostilities. We, therefore, suggest that the matter of cessation of armed hostilities and the modalities for which should be given detailed discussion at the negotiating table before making an official announcement. We hope that you will consider our suggestion favorably.

Thanking you. With kind regards.
Yours Sincerely.

(V.Pirabaharan)
Leader
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
