Opposition party leader Ranil Wickramasinghe made a statement that, security is important for Palaly airbase, hence even though opposition party which is now, forms a government tomorrow, will Tamils acquire freedom, which is a question mark.

Such statement was given by National Fishermen Coordinating Movement Coordinator S.Yesudas. He made this statement on his speech at the Waligamam north hunger protest.

He said, our country is considered as a democratic country. Statements were given that freedom is prevailing after war.

If it so, then why did you come to chase the people who were protesting?

What is the democracy prevailing in this country? What is the security existing in this country? Defense forces here are not protecting the government which consist civil society, alternatively they only protect the state.

Opposition party leader Ranil said, security is important for the Palaly airbase. Even if opposition party forms a government tomorrow, Tamils getting freedom is a question mark.

Until people like us come to the road and protest, we cannot get freedom. We did not appeal relief from the government. They say "Northern Vasantham". Everyone is resettled in the country. Are you not aware, people are still sheltered in welfare centers from year 1990?

International society is also performing a drama. According to government program itinerary they come here and observe and say everything is perfect. If it so, to whom should we go? People should come to the street to protest, we will attempt, if we continue to attempt, we will win was said by him.
