Tamil Elam is a Pariah State
Dilrook Kannangara
Those who were silent about the terrorist bomb attack in Ratmalana
made such a noisy dance about the eviction of lodge-stayers recently.
At the same time they have not come up with alternative ways of ensuring
Colombo security. This shouldn’t surprise anybody following the
acts of terror abettors living amidst the safety of innocent civilians.
Most of these abettors get prior warnings of impending LTTE attacks
so that they can save their kith and kin in return for supporting LTTE
bloody acts of terror. The LTTE has welcomed those evicted into their
mythical ‘Tamil Elam’. This mythical outcast state was rejected
by the evicted!! Instead they wanted to live under the GoSL’s control.
This is a sure indication that Parabakaran’s de facto ‘state’
(according to those who applaud the 2002 CFA) is nothing but a pariah
state.
To make matters worse, the leader of the mythical Tamil Elam, Parabakaran
is also an outcaste in the Jaffna Tamil society. He has failed to retain
his subjects who would pay at least 300 rupees (approx USD 3) a day
in a budget lodge in multicultural Colombo than stay free in their own
houses in LTTE controlled areas. Three hundred rupees a day is much
higher than the average daily earnings of a Sri Lankan!! Who said there
is an ethnic problem in Sri Lanka? Only the promoters of the Tamil Elam
pariah state and their vote seekers drum about a non-existent ethnic
problem.
The MP who was caught transporting Cessna planes to the North (the type
used by LTTE air sorties) displayed an outcaste move in parliament.
Not to be outdone, all TNA MPs also showed their true rowdy antics that
rather belong to the LTTE pariah parliament. Good for the ruling party
that allowed these to get away with felonies.
Those who believe that there is a de facto Tamil state in the island
known as Sri Lanka they should appreciate that this Tamil Elam pariah
state has more mortar shells than people; more children out of school
than anywhere in South Asia; its schools are financed and managed by
Sri Lanka-a foreign state to Tamil Elam; its hospitals are financed
and managed by the same foreign state; most food are generously provided
by the same foreign state. The moment Sri Lanka cuts its generous supply
of enormous amount of funds for education, medication and nutrition
for the citizens of TE without any corresponding tax income, they perish.
What a country is this de facto TE? In fact this is a good means to
liberate those who are trapped in the LTTE pariah state and to take
on the trapped terrorists violently.
Another hilarious aspect of this TE is that instead of the TE army protecting
its civilians, its civilians are forced to protect the TE army!! Its
leader, acclaimed the president, prime minister and the sole representative
of the Tamil people is in hiding so that none of its civilians can reach
him! This is in stark contrast to any democratic, communist or any other
country in the world. A civilian of this state had voted for a Sinhalese
candidate in an election in Sri Lanka (the neighbouring state) and he
was punished with an amputated arm; wow, what a de facto state is TE.
Separatists, who promote self-determination in Sri Lanka, oppose Quebec’s
right of self determination for the fear that LTTE financiers in Toronto
will have to learn French which is not taught free of charge in Jaffna,
Vanni, etc. by the Sri Lankan government schools. I won’t be surprised
if the TNA parasites demand that French be taught to some at government
cost in future.
Let me finish with the epitaph of any news item by some media. LTTE
rebels have been fighting for a separate state for the 3.1 million Tamils
in the island for the past 35 years where more than 70,000 lives have
been lost. However, Tamils prefer to live outside the rebel territory
and at most only 500,000 people (less than 16%) are still trapped in
LTTE controlled areas who are eagerly awaiting a chance to leave the
rebel held area. A group of 300 people who were given free transport
from the government controlled area to the North recently (a journey
that would cost approx 200 rupees or USD 2) promptly went back in spite
of LTTE offering them all comforts in their hometowns within rebel held
area. Ironically the LTTE (Tamil liberators) have killed more Tamils
than the Sri Lankan or Indian forces. Although LTTE acclaims to be the
sole representative of the Tamil people, Tamils have voted in their
millions repeatedly to chauvinistic Sinhala parties that were instrumental
in discrimination against Tamils that forced them into an armed struggle
fought mainly by abducted child soldiers.
