Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran said that the Indian PM Narendra Modi had "planted a very positive idea" in the minds of those at the Central Government in Sri Lanka, reports The Hindu on March 15. PM Narendra Modi’s address at the Sri Lankan Parliament on March 13 was a message to Colombo on the need for greater devolution of powers, said C.V. Wigneswaran. After his brief meeting with Modi, Wigneswaran said “I hope the Central Government will take it upon themselves to change the Constitution in such a way that more and more powers will be given to the periphery”.

Sixty percent of the people who had appeared before the Presidential Commission to Investigate into Complaints Regarding Missing Persons (PCICMP), blamed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for the disappearance of their kith and kin, PCICMP Chairman, Retired Justice Maxwell Paranagama, said on April 26, reports The New Indian Express. He said that “Thirty percent of the complaints were against the Sri Lankan Security Forces (SFs), 10 percent against the other (non-LTTE) Tamil militant groups, and 5 percent were against unidentified elements.” A total of 2500 people from the Northern and Eastern Provinces had appeared before the commission. There were 16,000 complaints from civilians and 5600 from the SFs. Paranagama added that “However, the blame figures varied from district to district. In Kilinochchi, 85 percent of those who deposed blamed the LTTE. In Mullaitivu, 80 percent blamed the LTTE. In Jaffna, people blamed the LTTE and the SFs equally (50:50). In the Eastern Province most of the complaints were against the SFs. The Karuna group (a breakaway group of the LTTE), was also blamed to an extent in the East.” Some of the cases have been referred for action and some for further investigations, he said. The Commission has submitted its interim report to President Maithripala Sirisena. The Government has asked the panel to continue its work as it is also investigating allegations of war crimes.

State Minister of Defence Dinendra Ruwan Wijewardene on May 8 said that the language barrier between the Sinhala and Tamil communities was one of the reasons for the prolonged ethnic conflict that had plagued the nation for three decades, reports Colombo Page. While speaking at a ceremony held at the Security Forces Headquarters in Jaffna to award certificates to Sri Lanka Army personnel who completed a Tamil language proficiency course conducted by the Army, Minister Wijewardene said both the Sinhala and Tamil communities should learn each other's languages in order to develop better understanding with each other. The unawareness of languages between the Northern and Southern communities was one of the reasons that led to the rift between the two communities and some extremist forces within these communities took it to their advantage and as a result the nation lost many invaluable lives and resources, the Minister added.

State Minister of Defense Ruwan Wijewardena on May 20 strongly rejected the allegation made by the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and opposition MPs (Member of Parliament) who had stated that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) flag was hoisted in parts of the Northern Province on May 18 when Sri Lanka commemorated the sixth year of defeating LTTE terrorism, reports Colombo Page. The Minister said that "Report received from intelligence agencies state no such incident being staged in the Northern or Eastern Provinces. These rumors are spread by certain persons with vested interests, media sources and social web sites to achieve their own political agendas." He also said no incidents of this nature had been reported from the region and this reflects the disapproval of the people of the North and East in the resurgence of terrorism. The Minister requested the people to be vigilant about campaigns carried out by certain social media websites using media reports and video clippings of recent LTTE commemorative events held in some countries including South India.

Emphasizing that the Sri Lanka Police continue to maintain security in Jaffna, the Sri Lanka Army affirmed on June 10 that there is no military administration whatsoever in the Northern Provincial capital, Jaffna, reports Colombo Page. Security Forces (SFs) Commander in Jaffna Major General Nandana Udawatta said that the military is not involved in civilian administration and there was no security threat to the Jaffna peninsula after the Presidential Election held on January 8, 2015. He denied the reports that extra troops had been sent to Jaffna following the recent incident of rape and murder of school girl Sivaloganathan Vithiya, which triggered violence in the area. The commander also said that 19,159 acres of Government and private lands in the Jaffna Peninsula occupied by the military including 6,258 acres of land in the Palaly high security zone have been released. He added that most of the owners of the released lands are in the overseas. Udawatta noted that in 1996 an extent of 11,600 acres of land was in the custody of the Palaly high security zone. It has been reduced to 5,371 acres now. The number of army camps in the peninsula has been reduced to 93 from 151 but the camps have not been withdrawn from strategic areas which could bring about a risk to national security, he said.

The Sri Lankan Army on July 23 said that its involvement in the Northern Province is limited “only to demining, construction works and infrastructure development in connection with the resettlement of people”, reports The Hindu. Responding to a questionnaire sent by The Hindu last month on the status of the Army’s presence in the Northern and Eastern Provinces, it said: “We have almost totally disengaged [ourselves] from non-military activities.” On a question about the Army’s plan to close down camps in the North, it said since the end of the “humanitarian operation” [that’s how the Eelam War IV is called in the Army’s parlance] in May 2009, the deployment of troops had been “regularly reviewed” based on “threat assessment, national security concerns and strategic implications”. Accordingly, troop deployment had been “readjusted on several occasions. This is a continuous process and the number of troops and bases will be in accordance with the national security concerns.”Earlier, the Oakland Institute, a United States (US)-based policy think tank, reported the Army has “expanded” itself into “non-military activities” and is “engaged in large-scale development, construction projects and business ventures”.

The Crusaders for Democracy, a group of former members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), on August 4 urged the Sri Lankan Government to “honour its commitments” made in the past at the international level on the Tamil question, reports The Hindu. The group in its election manifesto, released in Jaffna on August 4, said that according to the 1987 India-Sri Lanka Accord and the Oslo Communique of December 2002, the Sri Lankan Government had agreed to the concepts of federalism and internal self-determination, besides recognizing the Northern and Eastern Provinces as areas of historical habitation of Tamil speaking people. The manifesto wanted the creation of a mechanism that would facilitate self-rule of Tamils. N. Vithyatharan, coordinator of the group said that there was nothing new in the demands of the group. Everything was based on what the Sri Lankan Government had accepted. “We want them only to fulfil what they had promised at the international fora,” he said. While adhering itself to an undivided Sri Lanka, the group of former militants resolved that it would strive to achieve its goals through “peaceful and non-violent means”, Mr. Vithyatharan added.

Law and Order and Prison Reforms Minister Tilak Marapana while addressing a ceremony near the Pannai lagoon in Jaffna District on October 31 said that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) detainees could be released before the Deepavali festival on November 10, reports Daily Mirror. He said that the country’s prisons had about 18,000 detainees, but most of them were not those who should have been detained. Several of them had been put in the jail for minor offences or for want of legal aid. He stressed the need to focus special attention on them.
