Sri Lanka's state minister of defence on Thursday warned the police has been ordered to crackdown on any activities it deemed were in remembrance of LTTE cadres, during next week's Mullivaikkal remembrance week commemorated by Tamils.
“We will not allow the LTTE flag to be raised or any event to be held in support of the LTTE leader or LTTE cadres,” he was quoted by Colombo Gazette as saying.
"If anyone violates the law by holding events in support of the LTTE, legal action will be taken against them."
The government does not have a problem with remembering dead civilians, he reportedly added.
