A.A.M.NIZAM MATARA
Treacherous and chauvinist Rauf Hakeem had betrayed the Muslim
community by becoming a propaganda tool of the tiger terrorists.
Enjoying the posh comforts of Colombo life facilitated by vested
interests and probably relishing with a Sellakili provided by the
terrorist outfit to substitute the ill-fated and unfortunate Kumari
Cooray of the UNP, this shameless traitor of the Muslim community,
without visiting Muttur and knowing the real facts had voiced a
premeditated statement of the terrorist outfit accusing that the Sri
Lankan security forces were shelling Muttur civilians whereas these
shells had been fired by the terrorist outfit from their Thoppur and
Sampur bases in a frantic effort to chase away the Muslims and capture
Muttur for which they were making relentless efforts since a long
time, due to its strategic location against the Trincomalee Naval Base.
Through the terrorist website TamilNet this opportunist claimed that
the people in Muttur were killed in attacks carried out by security
forces. He said that the “government must take responsibility for the
killing of civilians”. He had deliberately or under duress carried out
the terrorist command by giving this statement even to the French
Press Agency, AFP, whose local correspondent is a known terrorist
accomplice.
Recently the terrorist outfit through one of its proxies, Tamil Eelam
Motherland Liberation Army, distributed notices in Muttur demanding
the Muslims to vacate the area within 72 hours that was by 1st June
2006. In December last year the LTTE terrorists killed several Muslims
in Muttur and their bodies were dumped into a well which resulted in
ehnic tension and rioting in the East for several days.
In 2003 during the Ranil Wickremasinghe regime the terrorists attacked
and killed Muslims in Muttur which resulted in communal clashes in
Muttur and Valachchenai areas in which 23 Muslims lost their lives.
Hakeem being a Minister in that dark regime did not take any action to
protect the Muslims from the atrocities of the terrorists.
Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thero who was participating in protests in the
area for seven days against the Mawilaru anicut issue upon returning
to Colombo on the 3rd August, expressed shock and dismay on Rauf
Hakeem remaining blind to killing of innocent people in the area.
Latest reports indicate that the terrorists blocked Muslim civilians
fleeing Muttur at an area called “Pachchanoor” and massacred at least
100 of them, on Friday evenng, and they included women, children and
elderly persons. These people had been massacred because they provided
food to the security forces. Also many more innocent people have died
when the terrorists deliberately shelled the makeshift refugee camps
in the schools, and when they shelled the Muttur hospital.
The bloody terrorist outfit facing defeat in many fronts in the face
of determined onslaught of the gallant Sri Lankan security forces are
reported to be forcibly holding the fleeing displaced population as
human shields and hiding in the midst of the civilian population.
More than 30,000 people have been displaced forcing them to flee to
neighbouring villages. More than 16,000 people have gone to Kantale,
walking all the way of 40 km from Muttur. The government is reported
to have made arrangements to dispatch food and medical facilities and
a team of doctors to assist the displaced people until the situation
returns to normal.
Our gallant soldiers overcoming the initial setbacks are reported to
have inflicted heavy casualties to terrorist camps at Navaladi,
Kattaparichchann, Gandhinagan and Thoppur areas, killing several
hundred terrorist cadres. These attacks should be mercilessly and
relentlessly carried out until the last terrorist is wiped out from
the Trincomalee district
