Colombo, Dec 25: In an interesting turn of events, the once-feared Nepalese guerrilla leader Prachanda has reportedly said Tamil Tiger supremo Vellupillai Prabhakaran should stop terrorist attacks on civilians and politicians.
“LTTE leader Prabhakaran must stop his suicide bomb attacks on politicians and civil society,” said Prachanda, whose Maoist party returned to political mainstream in Nepal after signing a landmark peace deal last year.
The Maoist chairman’s comments came during a meeting on Sunday with Sri Lankan Healthcare Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva in Nepal, the Island newspaper reported on Tuesday.
“All South Asian and Asian countries must help out Sri Lanka to wipe out the LTTE terrorism,” it quoted Prachanda as saying.
The decade-long Maoist insurgency left at least 13,000 people dead in Nepal.
During his Nepal trip, De Silva also held discussions with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and other senior leaders and officials. Talks were held on exchanging Buddhist pilgrims between the two countries, sharing the experience of terrorist problem and introducing the health policy model of Sri Lanka in Nepal.
The Sri Lankan Minister said every rebel leader had a time period and it applied to the LTTE chief as well.
