The Government will not allow any activities that promote the LTTE, Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananda Wijepala told Parliament yesterday (9).
However, the Minister said space has been provided for people to commemorate relatives who died during the conflict.
Wijepala said an arrest had been made in connection with uploading to Facebook a song that was originally performed by the LTTE in Kilinochchi.
He further stated that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) held discussions with the Attorney General yesterday afternoon regarding the matter and that appropriate action is expected to follow.
“We have repeatedly stated in this House that there will be no room for activities that promote the LTTE. However, there is an opportunity for people to remember their deceased relatives,” the Minister said.
He added that the Government expects to take appropriate steps following consultations between the Police and the Attorney General’s Department on the issue. (Newswire)
