JVP leader urges Muslim community to help prevent rise of terrorist groups
Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake urged that the Muslim community has a huge responsibility in preventing the rise of terrorist groups in the country.
"If Muslim religious groups, civil groups, and parliamentarians do not take steps to prevent extremist or terrorist groups from uprising. We will have to face a similar situation again," the JVP leader said during a discussion with Muslim organisations while referring to the Easter Sunday attacks.
During the discussion, Mr. Dissanayake pointed out that attention must be paid to the manner in which terrorist groups should be defeated. He said that all racist, extremist and terrorist groups must be defeated by not creating room for similar groups to rise again
"Sometimes the methods used to eliminate these groups might be the root cause for the strengthening of another extremist group," the JVP leader insisted adding that these unscrupulous elements could be defeated only through unity and accepting each other's rights.
He also emphasised that the JVP was intervening in this issue to create a stable society and country, and not to gain political mileage by taking advantage of these unfortunate events.
Mr. Dissanayake noted that national security would prevail by defeating all types of extremist groups and not one such particular group. He said this was because unity plays a prominent role in achieving national security.
