Mano Ganesan protests to Angela Kane for not meeting him

posted by Editor at

United Nations Assistant Secretary-General Angela Kane had a telephone discussion with Civil Monitoring Commission Convener and Western People Front leader Mano Ganesan MP immediately before she left the island.
During the discussion Ms. Kane had expressed her regrets for not being able to meet Mano Ganesan for discussions and requested Ganesan send her a situation report says the media communiqué issued by the WPF office of Mano Ganesan MP. The release further states,

“Whilst welcoming the visit of the United Nations ASG for political affaires Ms. Kane, CMC Convener Mano Ganesan MP made his strong feeling of disappointment and disapproval known to her.
Ms. Kane had met the President, Leader of Opposition and Human Rights minister Mahinda Samarasinghe. We appreciate these meetings. We are also glad that ASG visited the East and held discussions with officials. Ganesan pointed out to the ASG, that in addition to these meetings she had also visited the office of JVP and held discussions with JVP leadership.
We consider JVP an extremist party which is pushing the government towards war which is the direct cause for the issues of human rights violations and IDPs. Ganesan told Angela that JVP is a minor party and not a minority political party. We fail to understand why the Colombo office of UN was not able to arrange meetings with the political leaderships of the Tamil speaking people.
The leaders of TNA and SLMC have not met Angela Kane. The United Nations has overlooked the Tamil and Muslim political leaderships in the core issues of political solution, human rights violations and war and hence completed this visit as an one sided affair.
This is unbelievable. Colombo UN officials initially made contacts with my office for meetings through e-mails and later withdrew for reasons better to them. Therefore we consider the visit of United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affaires Angela Kane is too political”
