Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama said Velupillai Prabhakaran’s overtures to India contained in his latest message yesterday will not find accommodation.
The Minister made this observation in the course of a statement in Parliament on Friday on the terrorist attacks in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Condemning this terrorist atrocity, Minister Bogollagama referred to President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s statement in which he had drawn attention to “the urgent need for concerted action by all countries to eradicate terrorism, wherever it is, and whoever the leaders and manipulators of such violence may be.”
Quoting US President-elect Barack Obama’s message, wherein he had stated “the United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks”, the Minister said this message revealed the firm commitment and determination of the incoming US Administration in the global struggle against terrorism, and continued US leadership in the fight against this universal menace which has become a common threat to humanity.
