Tamil public servants urged to boycott election duty

[TamilNet, Sunday, 13 November 2005, 17:42 GMT]
An organization called "Peoples Force" in Jaffna district called all Tamil public servants to ignore election duty on the presidential poll scheduled to be held on November 17 and to observe the day as mourning. Boycott posters are seen in public places throughout the Jaffna district, civil sources said.

Sinhala political parties are not sincere in addressing the Tamil national question meeting the legitimate aspirations of Tamil people. Tamils should show to the international community and Sinhala leaders of the south that they are not interested in the forthcoming presidential election, appeal said.

I is the duty of Tamil people and Tamil public servants to boycott the presidential poll. It is meaningless for Tamil public servants to perform election duty in Jaffna district, the appeal further stated.
