He went on to add that if LTTE Prabhakaran was seeking to cause havoc and bloodshed with the excuse that the LTTE was the ‘sole representative’ of the Tamil people, then the people will shun the LTTE till it lays down arms. The people while exercising their franchise will decide who their representatives are, Dvnanda said, and no one can claim to be the sole representative of the people.

The Sri Lankan Army said government troops on a limited clearing operation, on August 26, 2001, ahead of the forward defence line in the Muhamalai and Kilaly general areas, Jaffna peninsula, attacked the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels and destroyed a section of their first line of defence. Six LTTE rebels were killed in the operation while nine more were injured. An Army officer and 11 troops, too, were wounded in the attack. While the Army said it was a ‘limited operation’, pro-Tamil sources, quoting the LTTE’s clandestine Voice of Tigers (VoT) radio, said it was, in fact, ‘heavy fighting’ that had erupted, and claimed that it was repulsed. The LTTE refuted the Army’s claims of its (LTET’s) casualties and said it had lost only one cadre.
