N2  - Muslims are conscious of the serious problems that are likely to arise when the Northern and Eastern provinces are permanently merged. During the period of the dissolved Provincial Council for the temporarily merged North-East, the Tamil National Army-TNA of the EPRLF and ENDLF attacked several Police Stations in the predominant Muslim areas and murdered hundreds of Muslims in cold blood. Nearly 60,000 Muslims chased out by the LTTE during the ethnic cleansing are suffering in the refugee camps and private houses in the Sinhalese areas. LTTE is obstructing the Muslim refugees returning home which are only few miles away, where as thousands of Tamils left voluntarily the North-East because of the Tamil Eelam War, are freely returning and unlawfully occupying the properties of the Muslims with the help of the LTTE
