At the meeting organized on IDP Land issues and fisher people's issues at Jaffna today, Brito Fernando, the chairperson of the families of the disappeared persons said he is ashame of our President as he badly broken promises he stand for during his tenure as opposition party parliamentarian. "We were very closely worked with Mahinda Rajapakse as an opposition party leader during 1987-1993 period. In fact he was our representative to Geneva to present our case there. We organized a march from Colombo to Kataragama to present our grievances to god. Mr. Mahinda in fact Mahinda aiya (elder brother) was instrumental to form Mother's Front. One of the disappearances people's commemoration meeting he said "I will not continue in a SLFP regime if there is any disappearances take place. The same Mahinda's regime also commit disappearances. How do we tolerate with this? We are shame of him. Also we are shame of our selves as we trusted him. Even there is no freedom to talk this and take court orders banning them. What a shame is this?
