LTTE wants SLMM to monitor election process in the North East province
Alladin Hussein in Colombo,
February 16, 2004, 10.20 pm.
LTTE political wing leader S.P. Thamilselvam has given an assurance that his organisation will not obstruct any election related activities in the North and East province nor is his organisation against the holding of elections in the province. However Thamilselvam has advised that the election process held in the North East province should be carried out under the guidance of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission. But the Monitoring Mission recently stated that they would not play any role in the election process as their duty is to only monitor the Ceasefire Agreement signed between the United National Front government and the LTTE in February 2002.
