...sign this, even yesterday," he told the monks. "There is terrorism in Sri Lanka only because India is backing it." Since many of Jayewardene's ruling United National Party members feel no different, the agreement stands a slim chance of winning ratification in Parliament. Mere identification with the document appeared to be dangerous: late in the week a U.N.P. deputy who had attended the signing ceremony was assassinated by a group of Sinhalese men.
