Dismissing the controversial statement made by State Minister Vijayakala Maheswaran as emotional and immature, National Integration, Reconciliation and Official Languages Minister Mano Ganesan yesterday urged focus on the real issue of the increasing lawlessness in the North.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we should be doing now is not discussing Vijayakala Maheswaran\u2019s statement but the total breakdown of law and order in Jaffna,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cVijayakala Maheswaran had a problem in choosing the right words. She is immature. After listening to what she said in Tamil I understand that she spoke very emotionally as an MP from the North and a mother and a woman. She expressed her frustration in the total breakdown of law and order in Jaffna. A small girl has been sexually abused and such incidents have increased, drug abuse is increasing and sword-wielding gangs are roaming freely. The Police has not done their duty. The Police should bear the responsibility,\u201d he told the Daily FT. \u201cAs a Minister of this Government I am ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he also said the Government alone could not be blamed as law implementation had to be done by the Police Department as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government is good in several areas, but law and order is not one of them unfortunately,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Repeating words allegedly uttered by Galagoda Atte Gnanasara Thera praising the LTTE leader during his infamous visit to Ganesan\u2019s ministry, the Minister said that statements similar to that of Maheswaran\u2019s had been made before too, pointing out the real issue was the breakdown of law and order in a post-war community.<\/p>\n

However, he was also quick to point out that he did not share the views expressed by the State Minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t accept what Vijayakala Maheswaran said nor do I take it seriously,\u201d he said, assuring that there would not be any revival of the former terrorist group in Jaffna.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LTTE is now a matter of the past and is history. People of the North and East have given that up. So don\u2019t use Vijayakala Maheswaran\u2019s immature statement for political gains in the South,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n
