It has been revealed details of an alleged understanding” involving among others the current Foreign Affairs minister pro-Federalists Mangala Samaraweera and Pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists political party Tamil National Alliance (TNA)national list parliamentarian MA Sumanthiran that was arrived at in Singapore in the year 2013.

It claims that the understanding reached in 2013 formulated a conceptual framework on abolishing the executive presidency which is a fundamental obstruaklc for the Tamils to create a Federal state in Sri Lanka based on ten basic principles described as the Singapore Principles”. Report further states  that current presidential adviser Dr. Jayampathy Wickramaratne, Colombo University Law professor V.T. Thamilmaran and unnamed representatives of the LTTE Tamil terrorist front organization Global Tamil Forum (GTF) along with a lawyer from the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress also participated in the conclave.

The conference had been organized by LTTE front organization in South Africa and funded by two European countries. The directors of South African ‘In Transformation Initiative’ Roelf Meyer, Ivor Jenkins and Mohammed Bhabha organised the meeting.

Quoting an unnamed participant in the meeting says that Mangala Samaraweera came as a ‘beggar’ urging Tamils support for regime change and abolition of the executive presidency and in return he has promised to give all demands by pro-LTTE TNA such as relase all LTTE terrorist from the prisons, change the Govener of the Northern Provice, remove Army from Jaffna, full implementation of 13A  and final a Federal ealm state in North and East two provinces of Sri Lanka.

Mr M.A. Sumanthiran, the non-elected national list ITAK parliamentarian and Mr V.T. Thamilmaran, the dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Colombo were the Tamil representatives from the island while representatives of the pro-LTTE terrorists Global Tamil Forum (GTF) were representing the Diaspora Tamils at a meeting in Singapore in 2013 when Dr Jayampathy Wickramaratne came with his proposal points to agree upon a conceptual framework aimed at regime change, the removal of Executive Presidency and other arrangements targeting good governance. Dr Jayampathy Wickramaratne was an adviser to Sri Lanka’s past two Presidents.

The 10-points agreed between the Pro-LTTE TNA and GTF by Foreign Minister, Mangala Samaraweera on behalf of present Prime Minister  a champion of Federalism in Sri Lanka Ranil Wickramasinghe at Singapore in 2013 is follows:

1. In describing the nature of the State what is important is the substance; the labels are secondary.
2. The Constitution shall be based on basic constitutional principles and values sovereignty of the people, participatory democracy and supremacy of the Constitution which shall form an unalterable basic structure.
3. Power sharing shall be on the basis of self-rule and shared-rule within an undivided Sri Lanka. (Ranil and Mangala had already declared that they will give full autonomy to Northern and East under the 13 Amendment)
4. The Executive Presidency shall be abolished and the form of government shall be Parliamentary. (The Executive presidency is the main obstruction to implementation of the Federalism for the TNA and Ranil)
5. 5. The pluralist character of Sri Lankan society as well as identities and aspirations of the constituent peoples of Sri Lanka shall be constitutionally recognised. (This will dilute the identity of the majority Sinhala Buddhists from Sri Lanka)
6. There shall be a strong and enforceable Bill of Rights consistent with universally accepted norms and standards.
7. There shall be a separation of powers and an independence of judiciary which includes a Constitutional Court.
   
   8.Important institutions shall be independent and accountable. Appointments to these and High Posts shall be through a transparent mechanism that provides for a national consensus, example Constitutional Council.
8. Institutions of the State shall reflect the pluralist character of Sri Lankan society. (This will dilute the identity of the majority Sinhala Buddhists from Sri Lanka)
9. The Republic of Sri Lanka shall be a secular state. The Foremost place to Buddhism and equal status to other religions shall be assured. (This is an attempt to dilute the position of the Buddhism from Sri Lanka)

During the infamous Cease Fire Agreement, CFA period Ranil has agreed to create a Federal State in Sri Lanka. The agreement made by Ranil in the so called  Oslo Declaration of December 2002 follows:
Responding to a proposal by the leadership of the LTTE, the parties agreed to explore a solution founded on the principle of internal self-determination in areas of historical habitation of the Tamil-speaking peoples, based on a federal structure within a united Sri Lanka. The parties acknowledged that the solution has to be acceptable to all communities.

Mr Erik Solheim, facilitator of CFA confirmed that it was the UNP politician Mr Milinda Moragoda and himself, who were behind the drafting of what he termed as ‘Oslo Declaration’ in December 2002, which was signed by Mr Ranil Wickramasinge on behalf of the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) and by Mr Anton Balasingham on behalf of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
