Not diplomatic

LTTE spokesman Daya Master was the talk of the town last week with him coming to Colombo for medical treatment. During the Cabinet press briefing on Thursday Government spokesman Anura Priyadharshana Yapa was asked if he was not planning to pay a visit to ‘master’ who was staying in a hospital in close proximity to his Ministry.

“It won’t be right to disturb ailing persons,” was his diplomatic answer.

Members of the National Movement against Terrorism held a demonstration of Friday to urge western nations to take sterner action against the LTTE. They went to the French Embassy in Colombo to hand over a petition urging such action only to find the Embassy closed. It happened to be the French National Day so the protesters had to go away with petition in hand.
