Anandasangaree yesterday said the ceasefire agreement was not indispensable and it was not at all beneficial to the country and people. The four years of ceasefire provided ample opportunities for the <a href="http://www.lankanewspapers.com/news/profiles/ltte.jsp" target="_blank">LTTE</a> to take gradually take control of areas which had been under the government`s control, he said. In a statement, issued yesterday, as a guideline for the participants at the Geneva talks and for the International Community he said ` The Tamils and the Muslims of the North and the East are the worst affected by the ceasefire Agreement and the innumerable violations by the LTTE. It had helped the LTTE to stabilize themselves more in areas under their control and to gradually take control of the areas under the control of the government as well. The four years of ceasefire provided ample opportunities for them to do this, resulting in the government losing grip of its own areas. `It is regrettable that the government, although aware of the fraudulent manner in which the LTTE proxies, the 22 members of Parliament of the TNA were elected, did not think it fit to consult at least the other parties that had genuine and ample representation in Parliament for many years in the past. `For over thirteen years I represented the Kilinochchi Electorate, which is also the District of Kilinochchi created due to my continued agitation for over 13 years but out of the 22 proxies there is none from Kilinochchi in Parliament. It appears as if the government is also recognizing the LTTE as `Sole Representatives of the Tamil People` the group that had established a dictatorship over the Tamil and Muslim people, he said. `I now have a duty cast on me to speak on behalf of the Tamil and Muslim people of the North and East and to work hard to liberate them from the LTTE. As a first step I call upon the government of Sri Lanka to abrogate the Ceasefire Agreement with the LTTE or in the alternative to revise it on the following basis, with a time frame of 3 to 6 months: `1. Since the LTTE had committed thousand of violations of the CFA to the determent of the Party to the Agreement and the people concerned, they must withdraw their cadre to the position at which they were, at the time the CFA was signed. 2. Since Article 1:13 of the CFA permitted freedom of movement in the areas of the North and East dominated by Sri Lanka Government, LTTE should withdraw forthwith the cadre spread all over the country excluding North and East. 3. If Article 1:13 cannot be dropped it should be amended to extend the some freedom of movement to the Sri Lanka Forces into LTTE controlled areas. 4. The LTTE should give an undertaking that their cadre will be engaged only in political work and not organise demonstrations, hartals etc. 5. That they will not interfere with the administration of summon officers for conferences or give directions to Government Servants. 6. That they will not use the school children for any of their activities during school hours and under compulsion. 7. Since Article 2-10 does not empower the LTTE to levy any tax or collect toll on A.9 road laveying of tax and collection of toll should stop forthwith. 8. That they will not got involved in abduciton, fortune, kill or recruit child sholdiere. 9. That they will not obstruct the re-opening of the University Campuses. 10. Must give a firm undertaking generally, not to got engaged in any from of violence against any body whether civilians or forces.</blockquote>
