Cease fire now?

Ben Silva UK

When heads of innocent babies of peasant Sinhalese families were smashed and when pregnant women were killed by removing their guts, politicians in Tamil Nadu were silent. Politicians in Tamil Nadu were silent when democratic Tamil leaders such as the Mayor Durraiappa of Jaffna, Sri Lankan Tamil Foreign minister Laksman Kadirgamar were killed by LTTE. Tamil Nadu politicians were inactive when the Sri Lankan ruling party Chief Whip, a Tamil, Minister Fernandopulle was killed by LTTE. When LTTE was on a killing spree, killing innocent law abiding citizens, Tamil Nadu politicians were dead silent and kept funding the terror war. Tamil Nadu politicians were silent when law abiding peace loving Tamils were either shot or hung from lamp posts. It is a credit to Sri Lanka, that not a single Tamil politician has been killed by the security forces. Even long before the Mayor Durraiappa was killed, LTTE carried out a systematic killing of Government officials and law enforcement officials. LTTE, are the Pioneers of suicide-bombings. They have an appalling record of terrorism, assassination, extortion, kidnapping and the conscription of children as soldiers. They are also well known for deception, bribery and fraud. What options has GoSL other than defeating this racist terror group, with a mindset similar to that of Hitler. In fact it could be said that Prabakaran is the Tamil version of Hitler.

It is the responsibility of GoSL and our missions abroad, to inform the whole world that India, funded, trained and supported LTTE terrorists and that LTTE training bases were in Tamil Nadu, South India. Further the whole world must be informed that arms to LTTE originated from Tamil Nadu, South India. Surely, we cannot have double standards. One set of rules when the Indians get killed by terrorists supported by foreign powers and another set of rules when Sri Lankans get killed supported by foreign powers.

Unfortunately, it points to the fact that when LTTE empire building is on full swing, Tamil Nadu politicians are silent, but they get active when the Sri Lankans attempt to safeguard the only country they have. What has happened to the values and morality of these people ? Who has better standards of morality – whores or LTTE sympathisers ? What exactly is the logic behind a request for a ceasefire? When Tamils are living all over Sri Lanka, it is plain insanity to give them an exclusive area. Such action would simply encourage racism and would be the start of the end of Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. It is time that some racist Tamil Politicians in TN drop their racist Chola mentality and show decency to their fellow Sinhala humans.

In fact, it is well known that Tamil Nadu was the source of funds, training and arms for the LTTE terrorists. It appears that the very group that funded, trained and supported the terrorists now want to save the skin of the terrorists. Surely the world must know the truth. The only group that will benefit from a cease fire would be LTTE terrorists, as a cease fire would give LTTE another opportunity to rearm, regroup and fight another war in Sri Lanka, causing death and destruction. Now it appears that even Prabakaran is fed by the food supplied by the government.

Do I need to remind the world of Dollar and Kent Farm massacres, massacre of over 200 Buddhist pilgrims at Anuradhapura and massacre of over 100 Muslims in a Mosque at Kathankundy. Shame on Tamil Nadu Politicians to support such an evil, insane, racist terror group, that killed the PM of India.

Enough is enough and this group of insane killers must be stopped.

It is indeed wrong to kill any human, what ever the ethnicity. A whole generation of Sri Lankans have lost a decent living because of terrorism that has lasted for over 30 years and should be brought to an end. It is indeed very brave for our Sri Lankan Tamil brothers and sisters to demonstrate against LTTE and in favour of United Sri Lanka. My appreciation goes to brave Sri Lankan Tamil leaders such as Mr Anandasagaree, who have been brave enough to speak the truth. We Sri Lankans can live in peace, if outsiders do not stir up racism. I know Tamils and I have respect and affection for them.

Protection of Sri Lankan Tamils is the responsibility of the Sri Lankan Government and its people. In my view is that, all Sri Lankans need to develop a caring and sharing attitude to all its citizens and it is sad external racists and empire builders are threatening the stability of Sri Lanka. It also possible that some of the TN politicians that support LTTE are in the pay of LTTE.

Now, as evidence shows, racists and people with a Chola mentality could be a serious threat to Sri Lanka, and it is time for the world community and Sinhalese to wake up.

What is disturbing is the support for Prabakaran from racists and people with a Chola mindset in Tamil Nadu. This should be a wake up call for Sri Lankans, to realise the serious threat from racists in Tamil Nadu.

I repeat, the war is against terrorism and not against Tamils, who are our brothers and sisters. The GoSL had to give the same treatment to LTTE as it gave to the Sinhala terrorists.

The only way forward for Sri Lanka is to have an inclusive society where all groups live in peace and harmony. LTTE have carried out ethnic cleansing of Sinhalese and Muslims from the areas they control and certainly an indication of the future if LTTE allowed any place in Sri Lanka. In fact if the Sinhalese continue to sleep, they will lose the whole of Sri Lanka and would disappear in the same manner Aztecs disappeared from South America.

LTTE started the violence, if they do not like the legitimate response of GoSL, then they should surrender to the authorities, so that due legal process can take place, for the crimes LTTE leaders have committed.

It is sad that some Tamil Nadu politicians are playing the same game Hitler played, to get votes. Some Tamil Nadu politicians have lost their sense morality, justice and fair play and is simply stirring up racism, to grab a part of the Sinhala home land.

GoSL is taking firm steps to neutralise an insane terrorist group, hell bent on creating a racist empire , similar to the attempt made by Hitler.

The Sri Lankan society is now integrated, with intermarriages, between various ethnic groups. The problems faced by Sri Lanka is caused by Tamils living outside Lanka, funding a terror war, to create a racist enclave, from the only home land of the Sinhalese.

The war in Sri Lanka is not against Tamils, but against an insane terror group that will set fire to the whole of the Indian sub continent.

The truth is coming out:

When LTTE was on a mission to build a Tamil empire, by using extreme violence against the Sinhalese, Tamil Nadu politicians were silent. Now, when the Govt. is carrying out its legitimate duties, it is lobbying in favour of the racist empire building terror organisation. It is time for the International community to know the truth of racist empire building attempts by LTTE.

I strongly favour inclusion of all communities and integration of all communities.

There is poverty amongst all ethnic groups in Sri Lanka. SAome Tamils may think that the grass is greener on the Sinhalese side. This is not the case. For example, thousands are dying in the North Central Province in Sri Lanka due to lack of uncontaminated drinking water. Obviously there is so much poverty in NCP and this group is excluded from the normal life in Sri Lanka as they do not even have clean drinking water. So there are many Sinhalese who lack basic human rights. In my view steps have to to be taken to address the grievances of all Sri Lankan citizens. Devolution on ethnic grounds is a dangerous way forward. As events in Tamil Nadu has shown, it will breed racist politicians and eventual loss of the only home land of the Sinhalese. Events in Tamil Nadu have shown that politicians with a Chola mentality could pose an extremely serious threat to Sri Lanka. Do not forget that it was the Chola invaders that brought about the destruction of the Sinhalese civilisation.

Inclusion of all communities is far better than devolution on race grounds, which indicate giving into racism and eventual formation of Ealam. Steps need to be taken so that there are no mono ethnic enclaves, that could cause instability in Sri Lanka.

In my view, devolution on race basis is to legitimising racism and would corrupt peoples minds.

If ceasefire is needed, LTTE should lay down the arms, surrender to the authorities so that due legal processes can take place for terrorism against the Sri Lankan state and its people.
