Dec 04, Colombo: Sri Lankan Prime Minister Rathnasiri Wickramanayaka says that some parties have pressured the government to enter into a ceasefire agreement with the LTTE.

Responding to the statement made by the main opposition MP Laxman Senaviratne at the parliament this morning Premier said the government will not agree for a ceasefire till the ongoing operations are concluded.

Addressing the parliament MP Senaviratne said the UNP will not put any pressure on the government to go for a ceasefire with the LTTE. He stressed that the government should not end the ongoing operations in North until the LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is destroyed.

"It is our party’s clear opinion," MP Senaviratne pointed out.

However the member party of the government Jathika Hela Urumaya said if the LTTE agrees to lay down the arms and agree to government conditions they will support a ceasefire.
