The people in the North want the Navy to remain there in order to prevent the South Indian fishermen from encroaching into Sri Lankan waters, a Tamil politician said today.<\/p>\n

Minister of National Integration, Reconciliation and Languages Mano Ganesan, who was the chief guest at the launch of the Sinhala translation of International Human Rights Charter by Hemachnadra Pathirana in Colombo said the Northern people whom he met recently had informed him that they want the Navy to remain in the North.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I visited the North recently the people there want the Navy to remain. When I asked them why they said this is because the Navy could prevent the South Indian fishermen from stealing fish from Sri Lankan waters,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the country should be aware of these sentiments of the Northern people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time the Minister said the members of the security forces who had done wrong should be penalised. \u201cA Security Force in any country when engaged in a war tends to commit offences. The Indian Peace Keeping Forces also committed offences and so did the American forces in countries such as Iraq. Also few members of the Sri Lankan security forces have also committed wrong doings in the war,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore those members of the Sri Lankan security forces who had done wrong should be penalised. One cannot disperse the army or penalise the entire force just because some have done wrong. You don\u2019t dissolve Parliament just because few MPs are corrupt,\u201d the Minister further said.<\/p>\n

Minister Ganesan said some including the then former President Mahinda Rajapaksa are talking of betraying the Sri Lankan security forces today forgetting what he did in the past. He said it was the former President who went to Geneva calling for action against the disappearances and killings in 1987\/89. The Minister said former President actually went to Geneva against the security forces.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ganesan was critical of the TNA MPs as well stating that they fled the country during the last regime without fighting for rights. \u201cIt was I who fought against extra judicial killings and disappearances together with some Sinhalese leaders when all the TNA MPs fled the country,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
