When A Group Of Indian Politicos Declare Sri Lanka A Rogue State, It Is High handed Rhetoric Contrary To The Policies Of The Indian Government!

October3rd 2008
When A bunch of misguided and frustrated, cacaphonous Indian politicos whose credibilities as dissenters and fomentors of racial disharmony through meddling into the internal affairs of Sovereign Sri Lanka suggets that Sri Lanka under President Mahinda Rajapaksha has become a rogue state for its continued military action against the Tamils on the island nation, they need to be taken to task for their high handed accusations, educated towards the realities and reprimanded for their contentious rhetoric.They also need to be categorically and emphatically informed that the Sri Lankan Government is not taking military action against the Tamils which is a totally fabricated myth suggesting myopia or irresponsibility on the part of the accusers! It is the terrorist group the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam that are being targetted rather than the Tamils of Sri Lanka!

These protestations are in deference to the Indian Government's diplomatic stance about relations with Sri Lanka, being a loyal ally and totally aware that the LTTE once posed a security threat not only to Sri Lanka but the entire region of South Asia, perhaps even to the world if they were permitted proliferation and expansion! India has not forgotten also that it was the LTTE who were responsible for the assassination of Rajive Gandhi a much loved leader and hence what seems to be a union of voices in the wilderness of misconception effectively needs to be silenced!

When CPI national secretary D Raja inaugurating a fast organised in a major Indian city on Thursday by the CPI, along with other political parties, in support of Tamil Eelam,which more realistically is the slogan carried by the Sri Lankan based terrorist group the LTTE, rather than the freedom loving Tamil Community, it becomes fairly obvious that their accusations against the Government are not legit and need to be stifled with the true facts surrounding the issue.

It is not only false and contentious but also fabricative and high handed rhetoric when Raja suggests that "the Rajapaksha Government has always talked about military solutions to the ethnic problem, unmindlful of its consequences. and that this has only made Rajapaksha turn into a dictator" The fact of the matter is, the Rajapaksha Administration having tried every option available to negotiate with the LTTE has eventually realised its futility, the LTTE terrorists being a group of non negotiable conscienceless terrorists and had chosen very correctly to eliminate them as a scourge to the independent, Sovereign Democracy Sri Lanka is, while also assuring all her citizens including the Tamils that their grievances will be addressed once the terrorists are eliminated and that every attempt will be taken to safeguard them.

This decision has been taken with much deliberation and in favour of all freedom loving citizens of Sri Lanka and as it becomes evident, including her minority Tamils most of whom are now in agreement that the LTTE do not represent them or their best interests and therefore they no longer support their terrorist acitivities.This has given more than an incidental incentive to the Sri Lankan Administration to take the necessary steps to rid the Island Nation of its terrorist scourge which has the support of all nations plagued with terrorism around the world.

It needs to be reiterated therefore that the Sri Lankan Government and its Armed Forces are now engaged in a campaign to eliminate terrorism from the nation and are not conducting a war of attrition against the Tamil community as falsely portrayed by the likes of Raja and others such as CPI state secretary D Pandian, Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) supremo Vaiko, Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam’s (DMDK) Panruti Ramachandran, P Nedumaran of Tamil Desiya Iyakkam and Puthiya Tamilagam’s K Krishnasamy who are known to be constant agitators against the Government of Sri Lanka whose pro- LTTE chants are not given much credibility by even their Government in India at times however swayed by certain loyalties to the State of Tamil Nadu albeit to all appearances token!

At the present the Government of Sri Lanka and the Armed Forces are well on the path to victory over the terrorists and it's hard to comprehend what these protestations are about although it is possible they are related to a wrongful interpretation of the issue where the dissentive Indian agitators against the Government of Sri Lanka who have made these protestations need to be advised that they are barking up the wrong tree and that their objectives are being viewed around the world as terrorist supportive rather than one towards protecting Sri lankan Tamils which is the bounden duty of the Sri Lankan Administration which has indeed taken all necessary steps towards this responsibility.
