Eastern Province Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillayan today said  Minister Vinyagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna should apologize for the massacre of 600 policemen that took place in 1990 in the east.

Pillayan made this comment when answering a question posed by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC). The LLRC asked Pillayan if he saw the need to apologize to the families of the policemen since his group was involved in the attack.

“I joined the LTTE when I was 16 years of age. If there is a person who should apologize it is Karuna since he was the leader of our group at that time,” he said.
