Rallying Of Opposition Parties should Push For National Unity Between All Parties And Provide A Deterrent Towards LTTE Ambitions!

It would be foolhardy to think that peace is just around the corner in Sri Lanka today although it appeared to be so some months ago and the main reason for the negative concept being the created impasse by the LTTE in a helter skelter bid to gain recognition while being thrust into the darkest recesses of contempt by the more rational powers that be who recognize them for who they are and what they represent. Not peace loving by any means and by no means full representation of the Tamil Community most of whom appear to be fed up of their charades and games which has brought about a very tentative state of affairs as far as the functioning of Administrative order is concerned and has given rise to what the analysts prefer to term anti peace activists when in fact they are the honest peace activists with no pretenses.

Championing the new fangled concept of peace the JVP has ushered in a new era of consciousness throught the land in an all out effort to convice the people that theirs is a resistant movement dedicated to the national cause whose moral obligation is to resist the transparencies of the flawed Peace presently advocated by the Wickremasinghe Administration constantly playing tag with the LTTE and eventually in for a probable surprise as the tag game could easily turn nasty as it involves tigers held by their tails whose viciousness could spill out into anarchy and a just cause for the activists comprising of the JVP and PA to take up a stance of defence to protect the sovereignity and territorial integrity of the Nation as these seem to be in jeapordy relative to the direction taken by the present administration whose reckless abandon through their latest proposals seem to point in the direction of handing on a platter to the LTTE what they failed to achieve through an armed insurrection lasting decades.

The latest march by the JVP from Galle to Colombo has gained tumultuous support from the masses as well as accolades from their PA associates who now believe that through a solidarity between the two political factions there lies a great possibility to secure the Nation from being cast to the devil and to rally its strengths and reserves where the instincts of betrayal and pretense of a false peace are quickly turned around using the constitutional powers of the President and quite naturally the will of the people although as a consequence the political climate of the Nation could very well encounter a degree of turbulence where the ruling party as an eventuality of a domino effect may be a subsequent one to the present where the present incumbency might be replaced and those taking over would have to tread carefully so as not to ursurp the tranquility which has prevailed thus far since the original Peace Process began and perhaps somewhat difficult to accomplish, all things considered and in particular relating to the response of the LTTE.

Little wonder that presently the response of the Government has been to counter the JVP / PA Alliance indicating a degree of instability within its rank and file and already the Nation's economy appears to be stumbling as a first casualty of this instability and the objectives of the Government at the outset of the Peace Process and ceasefire which centred around the improvement of the nation's economy and development presently appearing to be in limbo and could easily be sent packing if the trend continues and majorities and confidences are lost through the withdrawal of support also by other visible mionorities!!

If indications are true and the UNF Administration is replaced by the opposition thrust there still remains the unanswered question of dealing with the LTTE who have gained strength in their reserves and brag about their capabilities and preparedness for any eventuality which does not detract from the reality that the seesaw effect of one administration being replaced by another franchised universally and involving the will of the Voting Public does not necessarily bring about a resolution in keeping with the needs of the Nation but merely continues a speculative investment by the peoples mandate which sometimes extends into a tiresome monotony and drags on indefinitely.
Perhaps in the best interests of Sri Lanka in its present crisis mode as far as the Peace Process is concerned and a means to belay the conniving nature of the LTTE, a call for astute National Unity between all representative parties seems the best option where the combination of the rallying JVP, the supportive PA and incumbent UNF might be the most formidable alternative to National bickering and the best incentive to quell any aspirations by the LTTE towards their own surreptitious goals as the strongest deterrent yet.
