COLOMBO, April 23: Thousands of anti-LTTE protestors took to streets here on Tuesday in a protest rally organized by the Marxist party, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), against the proposed lifting of ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
The rally was attended by hundreds of Buddhist monks.
The government is seriously considering to lift the ban on LTTE as a pre-condition set by LTTE leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran for peace talks in Thailand.
Buddhist monks held banners and condemned the ‘peace deal’ that the government plans to strike with the Tigers, calling it an attempt to divide the country.
