Karuna: Our doors are ever wide open for any one to get any clarification

We wish to reiterate that we are ever prepared to dissolve our military unit no sooner than the security of our unarmed political members is assured- TMVP

We the Thamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal(TMVP) having broken away from a terrorist outfit joined the open democratic politics with full confidence in democracy. We are fully committed to gain the reasonable rights and political aspirations of our people through democratic means and thereby improving our people in education and economic wise in an undivided country aimed at establishing an environment where all the communities could live with understanding and unity, said TMVP on their latest press statement on today evening.

According to Karuna’s party, as this stands, several parties pose a question as to why we are carrying weapons. We have several occasions given clarifications in this regard and we have clearly explained our stance as well. However, we wish to clarify in connection with the above once again in a bid to explain our stance more clearly.

The fascist LTTE terrorists, who do not accept the diverse opinions, unleash incessant attacks on us. Several unarmed political members of TMVP were killed by the LTTE recently when our members had been working on our political projects. Hence, in order to safeguard us from the LTTE terrorists we are compelled to carry these weapons with us. We are not married to the weapons, the statement said.

“The confidence of our people and our brethren communities placed on us has been well established. Our political journey is making a fast headway with the support and blessing of the people. There is no need for any one to fear or suspect our weapons. They are only our protecting tools.

“TMVP has placed its full confidence in democracy and it unreservedly respects alternative solutions and views. We also reject and condemn the use of intimidation, power and violence with a view to achieve the political end in a democratic society. Our weapons will never back any anti democratic acts. We wish to reaffirm that we are ever all set to dissolve our military unit no sooner than the security of our unarmed political members is assured.

“Our doors are ever wide open for any one to get any clarification in connection with our stance,” Col. Karuna said.
