Global Sri Lankans Forum, GSLF unreservedly condemns the attack on the Sinhalese students at the Jaffna University by the extremist Tamil students and Tamil thugs whose intents are purely racist based on the separatist political agenda.

The perpetrators have been exposed in photos and video footage, and we request the government to take immediate action to bring the unruly Tamil mobs to justice.

GSLF strongly believes that the criminal elements operating at the Jaffna University are mentored by the racist politician’s actively promoting separatism, and considers this to be a blatant effort to spread disharmony among the communities living elsewhere throughout the island. We condemn this attack unreservedly.

 We urge the:

1.          The Government of Sri Lanka to hold an impartial enquiry in to this matter and bring the perpetrators to justice without delay,

2.          The Jaffna centric Tamil politicians to investigate this criminal act advise all the students in the Jaffna University and other forces to maintain peace and harmony,

3.          Sinhalese living in the country not to get agitated by this dastardly actions of the separatist elements and hold the Government responsible for preventing such incidents,

4.          The Government should not relax security arrangements in Jaffna so that peace and harmony cannot be derailed by the racially motivated group,

5.          The Foreign Missions operating in Sri Lanka such as the US and Europeans parroting so called 'reconciliation' to condemn the attack on the Sinhalese students and demand justice.

Unless action is forthcoming, we have grave fears that the security situation in the country may deteriorate compromising the peaceful coexistence among all communities to create ethnic disorder to justify so called Tamil grievance in Sri Lanka.
