PM assures separate Muslim delegation at future peace talks
Alladin Hussein in Colombo, March 15, 2004, 8.44 pm. Despite their failure to ensure a separate Independent Muslim Delegation at the peace talks during the last two years, the United National Front (UNF) party has given strong declaration that they will ensure the separate Muslim Delegation as soon as peace talks commence with the LTTE under a UNF government, after the April 2 General Election.
This assurance was given by Prime Minister and UNF Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe during the presentation ceremony of the partys election manifesto. However political analysts point out that during the last two years since the signing of the Ceasefire Agreement in February 2002 and the commencing of peace talks, the UNF merely resorted to verbal assurance of the participation of a separate Muslim delegation at the talks, despite the continuous request from the Muslim community, who has been a silent sufferer during the two decade long conflict. Hopefully the same scenario will not occur once again with them, the analysts said.
