In response to a query on the projection of the symbol of a flower considered by the LTTE as the national symbol of its Tamil Eelam,the British High Commission in Colombo brushed off it saying that it was a policing matter.
Karthigaipoo or Niyagala flower was projected on Britain’s Houses of Parliament in Westminster, Central London on November 26 when PRO-LTTE activists commemorated Maveerar Day. Responding to a query raised by Daily Mirror in this regard, the British High Commission sent one-line answer saying it was a policing matter.
“The management of demonstrations, including any involving proscribed organisations is a policing matter,” the High Commission said.
