Sri Lankan Government preaching RECONCIILIATION – Tamil politicians preaching RACISM
Posted on September 27th, 2016
Shenali D Waduge
It’s rather a precarious situation giving new meaning to ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you’. The racist Tamil leaders have plucked out a new terminology from their racist hat ‘structural genocide’ the placards read claiming that the good governance government of CBK-Sirisena & Ranil have failed them. So what are they now upto? We have come to a point where we must ask what more must be given for them to be satisfied and what have they given in return to be making such demands?
Here is a list of demands that the September Jaffna protestors carried to clearly showcase to the world the exact nature of the racism that prevails among the Tamil politicians and questions how many of the Tamil populace align with these thoughts.
The demands include removal of Buddhist sites, no Sinhalese in the North, if so by the same logic are those who are making demands going to remove Tamils and kovils from the South? See the stupidity of the demands being made by these Tamil racists?
Since the January 2015 ‘CHANGE’ occurred the following changes have taken place just to please the LTTE Tamil Diaspora and peddling to the whims of the separatists most of whom where camouflaged by various foreign backed organizations and who have been given plum portfolios by the new government in areas where the real legally binding structural changes are being drafted by them – the constitution being the primary victim.
The economy being handed over to foreign hands with changes being made to the laws, legal framework will soon result in the takeover of all things belonging to the citizens of Sri Lanka and the most ironical eventuality is that the stupid politicians will soon find out that they too would be kicked out of the picture altogether. They would be of no use once all the changes take place. Those now in their retirement years would have been assured plum retirement packages on foreign shores for abdicating powers of the nation to foreign hands. We can well guess who these traitors are.
- Inspite of continuous public requests to investigate the TNA for links with the LTTE as evident even from the election head of the EU report in 2004 claiming LTTE and TNA were one and the same and even TNA election manifestos openly claiming allegiance to the LTTE, the TNA head is today the Opposition Leader steering racist separatism using his office.
- The Government co-sponsoring the Geneva Resolution, making a laughing stock of the country globally and committing the country’s national army to international humiliation by agreeing to parade them as war criminals. Without even studying the documents and questioning the UNHRC singlehandedly agreeing to ridicule a country’s army without the consent of the public is unforgiveable.
- Key LTTE fronts proscribed under UNSC Resolution 1373 have been deproscribed without any valid reason given except claiming to be ‘reconciliation’ while numerous other mardi gras have been held under the auspices of the foreign minister also using the slogan reconciliation. Some of the individuals who had been canvassing openly for LTTE have also been removed from the proscribed list and now they are openly advocating separatism with no response from the government.
- The reconciliation is also instrumental in placing teams of people to draft the new constitution most of whom are questionable characters in the light of their career records and allegiance shown over the years. Some of these characters are even in the constitutional council.
- LTTE cadres who had refused rehabilitation and projected unlawfully as ‘political prisoners’ being released while State intelligence officers who had been serving the nation have been imprisoned under PTA and mentally harassed.
- LTTE cadres given loans, LTTE cadres who had fled the country allowed to return and given other facilities while soldiers accused of shooting LTTE have their families forced to pay compensation.
- IDPs given land deeds when most of them did not even have lands or deeds.
- Strategic camps and military installations removed simply on demand of the TNA and Tamil Diaspora
- Removal of the Chief Justice without show cause and appointment of new Chief Justice after allowing the previous Chief Justice to the previous to sit in office for a day. Now a Tamil Chief Justice prevails.
- Numerous corruption related units opened but only questioning and arresting those in the Opposition. All the MPs who were accused of corruption under the former government who are now in the present government most of whom have been rejected by the voters have been given portfolios under the slogan of good governance are not being investigated or questioned
- LTTE sleepers in foreign nation upto mischief – Australia listing ‘Tamil Eelam’ in census and then having to remove it after apologizing claiming it a computer glitch.
- At the end of world war 2 denazification took place where everything associated with Nazis were banned. In Sri Lanka we are allowing LTTE cadres to be commemorated for their murders. There may soon come a day in the heart of Colombo a statue of Prabakaran may be erected in memory of him! This is becoming a real sick joke!
- Adding to the injury is how the LTTE diaspora is now openly writing to Obama asking him to remove LTTE as a proscribed terrorist organization, some LTTE supporters are openly saying they are proud to be supporters of LTTE – why doesn’t Norway next posthumously declare LTTE for the next Nobel Peace Prize now that would be taking reconciliation to formidable heights!
We would like to know whether the 32 nations that banned the LTTE as a terrorist organization were just playing games with us if they are molly coddling the LTTE cadres who have run away and remaining as asylum seekers and others who are headquartered in foreign countries, holding foreign passports and had been behind the scenes running LTTE’s illegal and legal networks as well as providing material support and doing the propaganda for LTTE.
We would also like to know where does reconciliation fit in when on the one hand we have the present government from the former President who lost an eye because of LTTE, the present president, the Prime Minister who signed territory to terrorists in 2002 and his entire government all saying we will do everything to reconcile when the TNA, the Northern Province Chief Minister whose both sons are married to Sinhalese and other TNA MPs are all saying – No Sinhalese in the North, No Buddhist Temples in the North, No marriage to Sinhalese – in short chasing away the Sinhalese people who had been living for decades in the North.
Now please tell us what kind of reconciliation is this that everyone is preaching?
Officials of foreign governments & UN are on holiday visits to Sri Lanka and their statements and press releases never forget to chip in the words reconciliation and peaceful coexistence but immediately after their meetings with the Northern Chief Minister and TNA they suddenly start demanding what the country is not prepared to give. Moreover NONE of these foreign envoys have spoken a word on the TNA and Wigneswaran’s racism and comments against the Sinhala Buddhists. Had Sinhala Buddhists said similar statements against Tamils the entire world would come down on them. Why the double standards?
Why are people not prepared to give into the segregation that these racist Tamils are demanding and treacherous politicians are silent about is because
- Tamils are buying land, property and making condomoniums out of every single house they possess in Colombo and increasing the Tamil population outside of their so-called homeland. Therefore it does not make any sense in creating mono-ethnic enclaves by legally dividing Sri Lanka that deem the area for only Tamils while at the same time Tamils are steadily buying land and property outside of the North and even East. Statistics and showcase how the Tamil populace has been increasing in provinces outside of the North and East.
- Nowhere can people live in segregation. No people can survive among only their own. In a global village this can never happen. Wigneswaran was living most of his 70 plus life in Colombo. He has been living in the North only 4 years. The TNA leaders were too scared to step foot in the North for 30 years when LTTE prevailed except to visit when ordered by Prabakaran. We are not prepared to have our island nation divided by ethnicity when more Tamils are living outside of the area they are demanding citing bogus history.
- We challenge all those claiming Tamil Homeland existed to showcase with historical evidence and not just one liners taken from some British officer. We want to see historical proof that such existed prior to Sinhala Buddhist habitation in the North. We can easily show the Sinhala Buddhist habitation through the many Buddhist artefacts and ruins.
There has to be ONE LAW for all citizens of the country.
There cannot be any mono-ethnic enclaves for any ethnic group.
UN cannot preach reconciliation and promote mono-ethnic enclaves as they did in creating Kosovo which has proven a total failure as has the creation of South Sudan.
No new constitution can be accepted if it is advocating such separatism and the removal of the historical identity of Sri Lanka. People who have no cultural roots who have been inducted to make these changes have no right to make such drastic changes.
All political parties in particular the Joint Opposition must make a public commitment that EVERY DRASTIC AND DEROGATORY CHANGE THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS MAKING THAT CONSTITUTES TREACHERY OR TREASON WILL BE CHANGED WITH A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT INCLUDING ALL THE BOGUS FOREIGN DEALS/FOREIGN INVESTMENTS AND FOREIGN AGREEMENTS.
We are still waiting to see statements issued by foreign envoys and the UN in response to the racism of Wigneswaran and the TNA the racism has resulted in Catholic Nuns and Bishops coming out taking part in the protests while people have stoned the Sathosa food cooperative shop as well. Now these violent actions are likely to increase with every statement that Wigneswaran makes and we like to add that he was parachuted from Colombo to North by much propaganda assistance given by the Indian government and the action looks to be no different than when India took Sri Lankan Tamil youth clandestinely to train in secret camps in South India in the 1970s and now since 2012 India has helped create another megalomaniac in Wigneswaran.

For Tamils only uniting facotr is Tamil. Otherwise, they are different castes. Yet, they achieve things little by little.
Why Sinhala people are divided ?
They can not decide the leader. If they can not decide because one is Fidel Castro and the other is Rodrigo Duarte, then we can understand.
Every thing is infront of them. But, they see only what they want to see.

Thank you Shenali for your efforts to expose what goes on in Sri Lanka as you are one of few brave journalists who does on a daily basis. We the expatriates are clueless what goes on in Sri Lanka and grateful to you and others who contribute regularly to Lanka Web. I think the JO too is not very effective the way they tackle these issues you continue to expose. I think Mahinda should man up and take the leadership again to stop these scum like Wigneswaran preaching his evil racist comments instead waiting someone else to topple this treacherous government.
September 27th, 2016 at 8:57 pm
I do agree with Sarath W. Thank you Shenali once again.
I don’t think our JO members are reading Lanka Web while we visit the Website every half hour to see anything new added…
Why aren’t they get the benefit of these smart and brave journalist’s work.
Before getting defeated, if MR and the team had read Lanka Web, they would have at least come to know what they are not doing to protect Mother Lanka… for example.. abrogating of 13A… which almost everyone felt the need of it.
When will they ever learn???

There is no Tamil Homeland! it is a complete bogus invention.
There were from around 600BC over 43 attempted invasions of the island by the Chola, Kalinga, Pandya, Vijayanagar and other South and Indian Kingdoms etc. However only six succeeded. There was one invasion by a Malayan kingdom too. These were during Sinhala Kings Walagamba, Dhutugemunu, Dhathsena, Vijayabahu I, Parakramabahu II, Buvanekabahu V and Parakramabahu VI times. However invaders invaded Anuradhapura, Pollonnaruwa and stayed only for a short period of time and left the island once they were overwhelmed. There were no settlements due to these invasions except the very last invasion by Aryachakravarthi of the Jaffna Peninsula.
When looking at Sri Lanka’s history, it is extremely obvious that from 600BC to around 1400AD there were three kingdoms, all Sinhala Buddhist, Ruhuna, Pihiti or Rajarata and Maya or Malayarata. Rajarata encompassed today’s North Central, North Western, Northern and even the Central Province. Ruhunu rata encompassed today’s Uva, Eastern and Southern Provinces. The Kandyan Kingdom from 1400AD encompassed most of the island inclusive of today’s Northern and the Eastern Provinces except for the Jaffna Peninsula. Even the Jaffna Peninsula was invaded and occupied by force by Aryachakravarthi (Pandyan) and actually did belong to Rajarata earlier and later the Kandyan Kingdom.
Today’s provincial boundaries were drawn up by the British colonialists as per their divide and rule policy and the Sinhala people were not consulted when drawing up these provincial boundaries. In the meantime, most Sri Lankan Tamils of today were actually brought over during Dutch and British times to the Jaffna Peninsula and elsewhere to work on tobacco and indigo plantations which were planted extensively in all the colonies since they were much sought after and made a lot of money for the colonialists. Therefore they are recent arrivals and cannot claim homelands or separate states whatsoever.
The usual practice when a colonial power hands over their former colonies is to hand it over to its original owners. Therefore the British colonialists should hand over the Kandyan Kingdom to the Kandyan Sinhalese from whom they took it by force. Since the Kandyan Kingdom encompassed the North and the East, these provinces too should be handed over to the Kandyan Sinhalese who are its rightful owners. Even the Jaffna Peninsula should be handed over to the Kandyan Sinhalese since it was part of Rajarata and was forcefully occupied by Aryachakravarthi (Pandyan).
Since this has now been done already, the TNA, other separatists or the US, UK EU, Canada, Norway, Sweden and India cannot demand that present day Northern or even the Eastern provinces be provided any more powers or be made into federal states since this is totally going against the history and archaeology of the island and totally going against the rights of the Sinhala people who also have fundamental rights to claim the entire island inclusive of the North and the East as their homeland first and foremost.
History which was dropped as a subject should be taught at school since Sri Lanka has a very long history and it is very beneficial for the next generation to learn the history and archaeology of the island based on actual archaeological findings, archaeological ruins, artefacts, stone inscriptions, ola leaf writings and so on. Otherwise people will believe any bogus history invented by interested parties to their benefit, not based on facts but invented for their own nefarious purposes. Today these settlers such as the Sri Lankan Tamils are inventing history for their own purposes without any archaeological evidence whatsoever to back up such bogus claims. Therefore it is imperative that history is taught as a subject in school as soon as possible.

The LTTE massacred over 35,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members, Police Force members and Civil Defense Force members over 6000-7000 overwhelmingly Sinhala but also Muslim civilians, 1,253 Indian Peacekeeping Forces (IPKF) members, over 2,000 Tamil Armed Group members who supported the Government of Sri Lanka and who were against the LTTE, around 3,000 Tamil civilians and all this add upto 47,000. Around 35,000 LTTE terrorists are estimated to have perished too. In all around 84,000 in total have perished on both sides in the war.
As you can see it is the brutal LTTE terrorists who massacred over 47,000 mainly Sri Lankan Armed Forces members, Police Force members, Civil Defense Force members in over 26 years of war. Over 23,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members are today both temporarily and permanently disabled due to the war. Over 13,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members are permanently disabled due to the war. Over 156,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members have been injured due to the war. Over 6,000-7,000 overwhelmingly Sinhala but also Muslim civilians have been massacred by the LTTE terrorists in the war of over 26 years.
The LTTE terrorist group also ethnically cleansed the entire Sinhala and Muslim population of the Northern Province, of over 65,000 Sinhala people and over 75,000 Muslim people of the Northern Province in the 1980s and the 1990s. The LTTE also ethnically cleansed the entire Sinhala population of the Batticaloa District in the East of over 25,000 Sinhala people.
Today, the Sinhala people and their descendants of over 135,000 are yet to be resettled in the North and in the Batticaloa District and Muslims of over 115,000 are yet to be resettled in the North. Uptil 2012, of the above number, around 32,000 Sinhala people and around 32,000 Muslims has been resettled in the North.
The LTTE terrorist group recruited over 20,000 child soldiers, all Tamil youth, as attested by UNICEF itself which stated in 2007 that perhaps the LTTE has recruited over 20,000 young persons under the age of 18 years into its cadre between 1983-2007 inclusive.
The LTTE was notorious for its horrific terror tactics such as large scale bomb attacks and the use of suicide bombers in carrying out hundreds of attacks against mainly Sinhala civilians and the country’s leadership, horrific attacks against Sinhala civilians using IED devices, claymore mines and bombs, the massacre of Sinhala villagers in their villages in the North Central, Eastern, Northern and North Western Provinces, the coerced recruitment or abduction of Tamil youth and children for recruitment as child soldiers, forced money collection from Tamils with threats to life in case of non-compliance, attacks on Sri Lanka’s economic infrastructure such as the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL), Sri Lanka’s the then only international airport, oil storage facilities, hotels, planes, buses, trains etc. ethnic cleansing of Sinhalese and Muslims from the North and East of Sri Lanka, the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the systematic assassination of over 120 noteworthy Sri Lankan politicians, civil servants, senior military and police officers, prelates, activists, academics, journalists and other professionals who were assassinated by the LTTE who were but a few of the hundreds of assassinations carried out by the LTTE, including the former Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar.

Please can someone enlighten me as to how the Sri Lankan Tamils who are only 11.2% of the population of this island are demanding over 66% of our coastline and over 66% of the Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ (the vast ocean around Sri Lanka which is four times the size of Sri Lanka and which belong to Sri Lanka)? Is this not a great injustice to the rest of the 88.8% of the population of the island? Should not Vigneshawaran be informed of this ridiculous demand which is an insult to the rest of the people living in this island? The Yahapalanaya Government should seriously inform the TNA, other separatists, the US,EU,UK,Canada, Sweden, Norway, India that these kinds of crazy demands are not on. This island as a whole is the homeland of all its people since at least 2600 years as far as the indigenous Sinhala people are concerned and even earlier since our tribal ancestors have lived in the island for over 30,000 years as attested by the many archaeological findings of many stone age caves such as Fa Hein caves etc. So these jokes must stop, seriously.

Racist cancer wants their separate country. Exclusively for them only while living in other parts of the country
as well. Colombo is theirs. They don’t want to leave Colombo. While amassing properties in Colombo, racist
cancer slowly overwhelming the rest of the country. While one racist cancer eating into Sinhalese areas the
other racist cancer, mussies, eating into tamil racists areas. Dog eat dog situation. Why can’t these foreign
cancers live in haarmony?
The traitor cancers are never happy since they are too selfish, too greedy, never loyal, never grateful, can
never have enough, never Sri Lankan. So they keep chanting national question national question to get more
and more of the cake and get it. To make things worse for the Sinhalese, catholic run UNPatriotic party
divide the Sinhalese and make minorities king makers. Today Sri Lanka is ruled by the catholic-run UNPatirotic
party headed by traitor chief die hard catholic token Buddhist pol pot ponil wickrama Sinhalakiller. So the
racist cancers know they can get more and more since the traitor Batalande Wadakaya doesn’t have an
iota of patriotism in him.
A prime example of this is Pig Neshawaran. After becoming the chief justice in so called
nasty Sri Lanka and then becoming a chief minisiter, living in Colombo in luxury, traitor cancer is still not happy. Why?
Because he and his gang don’t have their drealam. These foreign cancers were brought to Sri Lanka by
the dutch to work in tobacco plantations in the north, then to work in tea plantations by the british and the rest
are kallathonis who swam/crossed to safefy in the 60s to save their lives from the severe famine in tn. Now the
traitor cancers are hell bent on carving out a country. Pay back of course!
Catholic run UNPatritoic party gives them their fullest
support. So there is no stopping of the racist cancers demands. Meanwhile Sinhala modayas are duped by the
catholic run UNPatriotic whose eventual goal is to make Sri Lanka a catholic country working so hard towards
their goal with the support of the minorities and some traitor Sinhalese donkeys.

At least the stupid youth who fought for Prabhakaran now have gained what they wanted.
Our youth died in vain, thanks to bloody greedy blood suckers who call themselves Sinhalese.
Who won the war ? LTTE.
September 28th, 2016 at 7:13 am
Blame dumb-assed Sinhalese, and their equally stupid politicians in the present regime for giving pro-LTTE forces a freehand to humiliate majority Sinhalese, with the help of their supporters in the West, which includes Tamil Diaspora, UN, bleeding-heart liberal politicians, and the main-stream media.
No matter how hard the majority Sinhalese try, there will NEVER be any reconciliation with the racist Tamils, until they get their ultimate demand – a separate state Eelam.
What the hell is wrong with Sinhalese and their naïve leaders..? Why can’t they still understand the real motive and the tribal mentality of Tamils who hates Sinhalese, and never have any intention of living in peace with Sinhalese, or Muslims for that matter..?
Though Tamils always want to feel superior to other races, especially Sinhalese, yet they feel very inferior because they don’t have a country of their own to call home. And they will never agree to live in a state where majority is Sinhalese. Same goes for the Tamils in Tamil Nadu in India, where majority of them don’t feel like they are part of that country.
This is what I call Tamil tribalism (racism) which is ingrained in their heads by their equally racist ancestors who came to SL from Tamil Nadu. No matter where they live, Tamils will NEVER be happy until they have their own state. Unfortunately, our Sinhala idiots in the present regime working hand in hand with the pro-LTTE forces inside and outside of the country, to facilitate their dreamland called Eelam, which will be the stepping stone to destabilize the whole country, and the region as well.
Until the majority Sinhalese and their leaders understand the mentality and motive of the Tamils, there will never be any reconciliation, no matter how much we are willing to compromise, or make peace and move forward as one nation.
Prabhakaran may have died, but his racist and murderous ideology is still alive and well, and are willing to carry forward by the racist and selfish Tamil politicians in SL.
September 28th, 2016 at 7:49 am
The Sinhalese Buddhists, Muslims and Christians should unite and stand up to the Indian Empire and Indian colonial parasites.
September 28th, 2016 at 7:55 am
Recent years scenario :
MR govt was removed by INDIA & the west.
They put in place the puppet/fawning Yahap govt.
It feels as though and seems that now INDIA & the west rule over Lanka’s Economy & the armed forces.
Sri Lanka has to have proper and fair TRADE Agreements with the likes of INDIA, or else Lanka will go belly up as a sub-state of INDIA, and have the CASTE SYSTEM imposed too, as that is how INDIA does their Census (Caste base), as well as structure their society there. All Buddhists, Christians & Catholics, Muslims and most of the Tamils will be classified as under Scheduled Castes, a socially low rung in the 3,000 yr old caste structure of INDIA.
INDIA signed 10 Border Agreements with China in 2013, not to use Fire Arms against each other.
Sri Lanka also has to have similar SECURITY arrangements with both INDIA & China – with the UN as go between and witness.
ALL Illegal Migration into Lanka has to stop.
ALL Illegal Migrants have to be deported.
Note that Canada has earmarked some 142,000 Tamil folk there as ‘second class citizens’ as they were not born in Canada. If they do acts against Canada, crimes against the people there, they will be deported.
That is how other countries deal with their migrants.
Lanka must do the same or similar laws passed to protect the country and the people.
INDIA seems to be throwing Sri Lanka as a ‘bone’ to the west to ‘gnaw’, possibly for using Lanka ports for cold war type actions. Sri Lanka will the new warring grounds, ground to pieces ?
Tamil Leaders take the maximum benefits from Sri Lanka for themselves and the Tamil community, and yet have still not revoked the Vadukoddai Resolution of 1976 – Eelam through violence !
What shameful political conduct !
Words like ‘genocide of Tamils’ are used when in truth some 47,000, Sinhala/Buddhists mainly, have died at the hands of the violent terrorist group, the LTTE – (See Plumblossom’s article above).
Sri Lankans will have to act to safeguard their country through International Law and internal law.
There seems to be no other way.
September 28th, 2016 at 12:51 pm
The UN, INDIA & the west are all oblivious to the fact that Sri Lanka has already fulfilled the UN requirements (UN Charter for Minority Rights) toward Minorities of Sri Lanka.
September 29th, 2016 at 3:54 pm
To my mind there is no such called International Law. The big powers bend the laws according to their whims and fancies. For them, some are good terrorist while others are bad and most of the time accommodate the bad ones (like Adele).
Look at what is happening in Syria. The west cunningly divided people in that country, gave arms and made a hell out of it. I say to MR&Co, let that sort of thing not happen in SL. Do not bring in armed forces personnel in to political work and divide them. If they do the Eelamists and India will automatically achieve their objective. We must realize that they are just one and trying various means like ETCA etc . to get hold of the country.
Sinhalas should stay united and strong. For that a proper leader is required. No one will then come to challenge them.
September 29th, 2016 at 5:00 pm
YAAAWN!
Isn’t this the case since 1931?
All Tamil politicians are TRUMPS while all Singhala politicians are CLINTONS!
NO PROPER leader can come because IF a SINGHALA leader tries to defend SINGHALA people, SINGHALA people call him a RACIST.
September 29th, 2016 at 7:55 pm
“All Tamil politicians are TRUMPS while all Singhala politicians are CLINTONS!”
Lo and behold!, A Tamil appears from out of the BLUE to advise Sinhalas to select a proper leader while bringing in international politics also to the scene.
September 29th, 2016 at 10:57 pm
I have more important NATIONAL issues to discuss than the ethnicity of commentators!
There is another side to what Viggie is doing. IF Tamil voters HARDEN their stand they will BOYCOTT the presidential election unless their HARD DEMANDS are given. They can be discounted from the PE impact.
September 29th, 2016 at 11:59 pm
I believe our mission here should be making unity in our country in general and the same among Sinhalas as if they fight each other the whole country will disintegrate.
As far as ethnicity is concerned I personally have no issue. Most of my colleagues in my team are Tamils and we have great respect for each other and we all try to keep our flag flying as Sri lankans.
However, I do not like insults from people, seemingly having other agendas, when we discuss RACIST ISSUES under a thread like this.
September 30th, 2016 at 3:37 am
We wonder what any of the western countries would have done given the same circumstances as in Sri Lanka ? ! You know, nearly 30 yrs of terrorism from a group of people with some 70 Million of their own language based folk nearby ?
See how Canada is alerady safeguarding herself by earmarking those not born in Canada as ‘second class citizens’ marked for deportation if found guilty of crimes agianst the nation !
High time Lankans learnt to safeguard the Country and themselves properly, once and for all.
* High time Lankans looked at broader issues such as clean air, water & food for all.
* Also, deport all illegal migrants from Tamil Nadu and elsewhere.
* Also, REMOVE the illegal 13-A.
* Also, REVOKE OFFICIALLY the Vadukoddai Resolution of 1976 (Eelam through violence).
* High time Lanka signed up Agreements for Peace with INDIA & China, and some of the other neighboring countries too.
The UN can be a signatory to such Agreements.
September 30th, 2016 at 4:56 am
Fran,
The UriNePee govt. will not do any of those.
The best plot to bring this LTTE govt. down is to PIT LTTE against UNP. Sampanthan is TOO OLD. He will not survive until next election. His replacement will be UNABLE to forge a deal with the UriNePee or Maru Sira. That is the turn the country is waiting for.
September 30th, 2016 at 8:52 am
Lorenzo,
The LTTE came AFTER the Tamil Leaders brought in the Vadukoddai Resoln (1976). The 1983 trumped up Riots enabling nearly a million Tamils to go abroad as ‘Refugees’ (no other way to enter the west), happened after the V’koddai Resoln.
It is the V’koddai Resoln (Eelam through violence) that should be officially revoked. The Tamil leaders must undo the damage they have done for nearly 30 yrs by giving rise to the LTTE terrorism in Lanka.
Our FOCUS is on Tamil Leaders to rectify the errors of the past.
