[size=9][TamilNet, April 23, 2004 10:31 GMT]</span>
Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) blasted the Sri Lanka Government for the pandemonium caused in Parliament on Friday and asked Ms.Kumaratunge's government to take responsibility for the defeat. Although JHU assured Ms.Kumaratunge their votes, her betrayal of renegade Eastern Commander forced them to decide against supporting her, JHU said in a press conference held in Colombo today. JHU further said that its members would willingly sacrifice their lives to prevent creation of Tamil Eelam.
Ven. Ellawala Medhananda Thero Leader of the JHU told that they assured President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga several times that they would support the United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA). The Thero said that even with such assurance she had wanted the votes of the Illankai Thamil Arasu Katchchi (ITAK), and had betrayed Eastern renegade rebel leader Col. Karuna Amman (alias Muralitharan), thereby strengthening the hands of LTTE's Wanni leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran.
The Thero told the press that UPFA is now on par with the United National Party in betraying Sri Lanka. UNF, the Thero said, had previously helped to identify the members of the military intelligences after the Athurugirya Millennium City incident.
The Thero said that JHU voted simply to nullify votes of the two dissident monks Ven. Apparekke Punnananda and Ven. Kathaluwe Rathanasiha Thero.
Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thero, Spokesperson for the JHU, said that even now they are willing top support the Alliance Government, if they correct their wrongs and come up with an agenda for the betterment of Sri Lanka.
