(nation)When Eelam People’s Democratic Party (EPDP) Leader and Hindu Affairs Minister Douglas Devananda, a very strident critic of the LTTE, said the Tigers could be physically defeated, nobody believed him. Even now, with the near elimination of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), some are skeptical. But Devananda is firm. The Minister who is a prime target of the LTTE says Velupillai Prabhakaran has to either kill himself or escape. “Otherwise, he will be caught. He is in the jungles. Hitler committed suicide while Saddam Hussein was caught. It is interesting to know what is going to happen to Prabhakaran,” the minister, an arch rival of the Tigers, said. He also said, with the war coming to an end, the government will soon put out a political solution for the Tamils. He said the 13th Amendment to the Constitution Plus will be the best answer to the dragging ethnic problem in the island nation. “I have been advocating this for the past several years. The full implementation of the 13th Amendment will help heal our wounds,” he told The Nation in an interview. He also said that there should be a Tamil Speaking Unit within the Sri Lanka Army and added he has already informed the government about the establishment of such a unit. Full text
