Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, MP., PC
Prime Minister of CanadaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
House of Commons, Ottawa
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Dear Prime Minister:
Re: Rathika Sitsabaiesan, NDP MP for Scarborough Southwest : UN (Darusman) Report on Sri Lanka
I have great admiration for this rookie Tamil MP for her enthusiasm to get parliament involved in what concerns deep in her heart as a Canadian-Tamil and I give an A+ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ for her enthusiasm.
But unfortunately there ends the passing grade as I give her a F for her misplaced priorities in affairs pertaining to Canada, and her non-Tamil constituents who voted her in to parliament.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The economy, ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ protecting the health care system, child care, Law and Order, funding for post-secondary education, ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ improving pensions for seniors, quick passage of the anti- Human Trafficking Bill, cleaning up the environment, and all that have taken a back seat in her priorities, and she is trying to tie up parliamentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s precious working hours ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ unnecessarily when she said in an interview with BBCƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢sƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sinhala Service Sandeshaya that, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-she will take the initiative to form an All Party Parliamentary Committee (APPC) to look into alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka during the last stages of the war, and that she would get the APPC to come up with recommendations for the Canadian government over the UN expert panel report will be a priority.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
Prime Minister, this rookie is disingenuous when she focuses on the UN (Darusman) Report on Sri Lanka which apparently deals with the last five months of the 27-year nasty Tamil Tiger terrorist war, when she knows that the Canadian Liberal government for 13 years were aiding and abetting this Tamil terrorist war in Sri Lanka which criminally killed scores of thousands of innocent unarmed civilians by the Tamil Tiger terrorists for the want of their mono-ethnic, racist, Tamil separate state, Eelam. Unfortunately, this rookie too is dreaming of this mythical state as her promotional material shows exactly the area in Sri Lanka in a red colour wash of a tear where she thinks that her Tamil tribe should rule as their Eelam.
Prime Minister, what she is ignoring is that we, the 32 million Canadians, ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ including herself, have a film of Sinhalese and Muslim blood on our palms as it were the Canadian Tamil Diaspora who collected two million dollars a month during the 13 long Liberal Party governing years, and stuffed it intoƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ the Tamil Tiger war-chest to buy sophisticated weapons and explosive materials to make bombs to support their blood thirsty Tamil Tiger terrorists to extend their killing fields from the north to the south, and from the east to the west of Sri Lanka.
I am surprised and disappointed that this rookie MP has not considered asking the Canadian parliament to officially apologize to the Sinhalese and Muslim Sri Lankan-Canadian communities for supporting directly and indirectly this Tamil Tiger terrorist war, as we Canadians under your Government have started to cleanse our souls by officially apologizing to the Chinese-Canadian community for the use of the head tax and the exclusion of Chinese immigrants to Canada.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Like the former Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla making a pitch and overseeing the Government apologize to the Canadian-Sikh community for the Komogata Maru incident.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Like your government officially apologizing to the Inuit community for enacting policies to relocate Inuit families from their homes in Inukjuak located in Northern Quebec.
Prime Minister, I am also disappointed that if this rookie NDP parliamentarian is all Gung ho to bring her concerns of the UN (Darusman) Report on Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s alleged war crimes to parliament, that she has not initiated an investigation to prosecute the Tamils who collected the funds for this Tamil terrorist separatist war ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ that saw 100,000 peopleƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ killed in Sri Lanka, and the Canadian parliamentarians who supported this crime to be prosecuted for War Crimes in an International War Crimes Court.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ In this investigation, who knows, whether the Tamil Christian men in religious cloth with white-collars starched towards heaven may also be found guilty of this war crime forƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ preaching lies from their pulpits and collecting funds in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa from their Sunday congregations to support this war. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Many of these culprits are still around in Canada and some of the Liberal parliamentarians who patronized the Tamil Tiger fund raising dinner that happened on May 6, 2000 in Toronto to continue with the separatist war and killing of innocent civilians, are not sitting presently in parliament and yet some others are.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ That is indeed the true litmus test on our rookie Tamil-Canadian MP, to find out whether she is a genuine non-partisan democrat, an honest human rights advocate, an honest politician and an honest human being.
Prime Minister, here are five good reasons why the parliament should not be tied up to form an All Party Parliamentary Committee to look into theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ UN (Darusman) Report on alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka as rookie NDP MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan has intentions to do.
1. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Kindly note that I have referred to Rathika SitsabaiesanƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”UN Expert Panel ReportƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ on Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s alleged War Crimes as the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”UN (Darusman) ReportƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”DarusmanƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ refers to the leader of the three panelists that Ban ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the UN had appointed for this exercise.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Also note that this UN (Darusman) Report is in no way an official UN Report sanctioned by the UNƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Security Council.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is a Report done from outside the UN Organization violating the authority under which the Secretary-General of the UN is expected to function under Article 100, Clause 1 of the UN Charter.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This article provides guidance to the Secretary-General to maintain his/her strict neutrality of the UN.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Thus the request to appoint an All Party Parliamentary Committee to look into this Report should not be accommodated by the Conservative caucus.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 2. Kindly note that the three person panel that Ban ki-Moon had appointed is cause for concern regarding their partiality and these panelists should neverƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ have been appointed in the first place.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The panel was headed by Marzuki Darusman, a former Attorney General of Indonesia who was also a member of the International Independent Group of Eminent Persons (IIEGP) .ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ CanadaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s eminent person in this group was Dr. Bruce Matthews of Nova Scotia who is well versed on Sri Lankan affairs and was an excellent choice.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This group was invited in March 2008 to observe the workings of Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Presidential Commission looking into alleged serious violations of Human Rights. Darusman, I am afraid, left the IIEGP in a huff disagreeing with the Sri Lanka Government and yet signed the IIEGP Report without paying a single visit to Sri Lanka to ascertain himself the actual ground situation.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The second panelist was Steven Ratner an adviser to a Non-Governmental Organization known as the Human Rights Watch (HRW) that has been very critical of Sri Lanka from the inception of the Tamil terrorist Eelam War.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Ratner has also co-authored a book with Jason Adams titled ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Accountability for Human Rights: Atrocities in International Law beyond the Nuremberg legacyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ in which on page 123 he has stated that the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”convention on banning apartheid should be invoked in relations to countries such as Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ With this backgrounder Steven Ratner should have been dismissed instantly as a panelist.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There lies his bias against Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The third panelist was the South African Yasmin Sooka who is a close associate of the South African Tamil Navi Pillai who is the patron of the Sooka Foundation, and also responsible for the failed resolution that was brought against Sri Lanka before the UNHRC in May 2009.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Thus it clearly shows her bias ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ too against Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Thus the rookie MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan of the NDPƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢sƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ request to appoint an All Party Parliamentary Committee to look into the allegations against Sri Lanka in this UN (Darusman) Report should not be accommodated by the Conservative caucus.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 3. Kindly note that there is something sinister about this Report.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The question that needs an answer is why has the Report focused only on the last five months of a 27-year long bloody war.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There were 100,000 killings during that period.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ A killingƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦is a killingƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦ is a killingƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦. is a killing!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There were 11 ship loads of weapons smuggled in through the east coast via Mullaithivu for the Tamil Tigers during the Ceasefire Period between February 2002 and January 2008, all used to kill innocent unarmed civilians. Why not go back to the Tamil Tiger terrorists killings since February 2002ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ if there was some difficulty to go back to events as far back as July 1983.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Why didnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t they?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Why the last stages of the war despite a shorter 6-year war like World War II ended so abruptly with the dropping of atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing 220,000 innocent Japanese, yet it seems morally right to have those scores of thousands of Japanese ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ incinerated, toastedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and die and not bring those who planned the bombings to an International War Crimes Court.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Do you wonder why?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Is Ban ki-Moon concerned that he would be opening a can of worms and having to haul all country-culprit Governments like Norway, France, Canada, ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Denmark, Britain, and International Non-Government Organizations (INGOs), et cetra, for aiding and abetting to prolong the war and multiply the killings of innocent Sri Lankans while supporting the Tamil Tiger terrorists to win this war and destabilize a democratic sovereign country.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ As it was Norway that gifted Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the Tamil Tigers a TV with a 6 ft screen despite a Deputy Minister Vida Helgessen objected to it.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It was Norway that smuggled six-tons of high-tech communications and electrical equipment to the Tamil Tigers for their Voice of TigerƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s radio station in 2002, including V-sat equipment used to satellite communications.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And according to Karuna, the Tamil Tiger chiefƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s right hand man in the East who defected the movement in 2004, said that NorwayƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Minister Eric Solheim gave 16 million kroner to Anton Balasingham, the Tamil Tigers political advisor immediately after the signing of the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) in February 2002 in Oslo.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Is this the reason why Ban ki-Moon decided to engage his exercise with Darusman only on the last five months of the war?
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ With panelists who were biased against Sri Lanka, what would be incorporated in the ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Darusman Report was predictable.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Thus it does not make sense to give credence to such an anti-Sri Lankan report by complying to rookie MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan of the NDP by forming an All Party Parliamentary Committee to study this report.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There are other important files that the Canadian Government should deal with to make the life of the Canadians stable and comfortable.
4.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Kindly note that the Executive Summary of the ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ UN (Darusman) Report says ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦the Secretary General announced the appointment of the Panel of Experts to advise him on the implementation of the joint commitment included in the statement of the President of Sri Lanka and the Secretary GeneralƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The role of the panel was purely ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-advisoryƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ and they were to report only to the Secretary General.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And also it was clearly understood that the panel was not expected to function in an investigative capacity. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ That fact is stated on page 3 of the report as it says that ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-The panel has not conducted fact finding as that term is understood in United Nations practice.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Again on page 6 of the report, it said ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-The panel and United Nations officials repeatedly made clear to the government the scope of its mandate as an advisory panel to the secretary general including that it was not engaged in any investigation.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ Thus the fact that the Panel documented ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-credible alleged violationsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ based on submissions by unidentified parties is tantamount to investigation thus is in clear violation of their mandate.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Thus ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ with such cunning, it does not make sense to give credence to such ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ an anti-Sri Lankan report by complying to rookie MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan of the NDP by forming an All Party Parliamentary Committee to study this report which has completely violated the mandate given to the panelists.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There are other important files that your Government could devote to, to make the lives of the Canadians comfortable and stable in the sectors of economy, heath, child care, law and order, seniors, human trafficking and the environment.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 5.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Kindly note that page 6 of the report says, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-In some instances the panel received written and oral material on the condition of an assurance of absolute confidentiality in the subsequent use of the information. The Office of Legal Affairs, confirmed through formal legal advice that the provisions set out in the secretary generalƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s bulletin on information sensitivity classification and handling, could be applied to its records.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The bulletin provides for the classification of a document as strictly confidential with correspondingly strict limits on any access for a period of 20 years following which a declassification review may be undertaken that weighed the equities involved in retention or release.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Moreover the office of legal affairs confirmed that where necessary and appropriate for the panelƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s work, the panel could give an undertaking of absolute confidentiality in subsequent use.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ As a result nearly all of the panelƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s substantive records will be classified as strictly confidential with in some cases additional protection regarding future use.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Translating all this into simple language which NDPs rookie MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan hopefully will understand is that the material received orally and written is regarded as strictly confidential and for 20 years absolutely no one in this world, and that includes the All Party Parliamentary Committee that this rookie MP will be calling for to study this UN (Darusman) Report on alleged war crimes by Sri Lanka, would have no right to access this material.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Having said all this, Mr. Prime Minister, let us not waist ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ parliamentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s time in this silly anti-Sri Lankan witch hunt exercise that the rookie MP is contemplating to tie your caucus members down,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Let us not encourage this futile exercise.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And finally, Mr. Prime Minister, I hope this new MP will cooperate with the Government to encourage the LTTE rump of her Tamil community in CanadaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ not to harass with threats other members of her community to collect funds to claim their mythical Eelam, and ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ also discourage the young ladies of her Tamil community not to get involved willingly or having been coerced, to perform their cultural song and dance routines, as this rookie MP is quite aware of, at fund raising events for their mythical Eelam. That should be a No, No.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I shall take the liberty to forward this letter to the key members of your caucus who I believe are interested in Sri Lankan affairs.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sincerely,
Asoka Weerasinghe

When we read the quality of the people who composed this Secy. General’s panel of advisers, I recollect an old saying that villagers of Sri Lanka, in their own wisdom, used to describe this type of action. It says “Horage Ammagen Pena Ahanawa Wagai” which means -” if someone wants to capture a thief, you consult an occultist who is the mother of the thief”. I hope this is good enough to explain this “drama” of “Darusman Report”.
Mr. Stephen Harper – The Prime Minsiter of Canada. Please get someone in your office to study the testimony of Mr. Eric Holder, Attorney General of the Obama Administration before the US Senate on May 04, 2011, in relation to the killing of Al Qaeda leader Bin Laden. Among other submissions he said “If someone is an enemy combatant, it does not matter if he is unarmed or not, because lethal force is permitted against ememy fighters and commanders in the course of an ongoing armed conflict and sometimes in case of self- defence”.
This is the latest view of the biggest neighbour we have and of course, we tend to follow her on very many matters of mutual interest. Thank you.

Asoka the Sinhala racist:
You better ask your UNP monkeys not to bend to the Catholic Church which is the partner of LTTE. You or other Sinhala monkeys who bark at TAMILS never point their fingers at UNP and Catholic Church bend to the WEST to support LTTE criminals!
Further, you are a fool. Do you think Harper is a Head Master of a School? As an MP she has her priorities which are not the concern of Harper or you!
Still you or other Sinhala racists who support UNP have no explanation, why LTTE got a separate area from UNP? LTTE got a free hand to kill thousands of Tamils who opposed them!
Better complain to Harper that Ranil gave an area for LTTE and Mahinda destroyed it! Because you are a card holding conservative!

MS Mudali
I am a tamil also like you
You have no right to call Asoka a racist, Stop that BS man
Have some decency
Asoka has the right to write anything he likes whether you agree or disagree
calling names is wrong and unacceptable

Don´t give publiity to the activities of Diaspora Tamils. They cheat the world. One day world will
understand the truth. Our President rescued and protects Tamils,Muslims and Sinhalese from Terrorism in Sri Lanka.
At the same time innocent Tamils also killed. That was purposely organsed by the Terrorist to
do politic with those pictures. If LTTE was rescued and Pirabakren lives now, noone will speak about
killed Tamils. LTTE will say deads are normal duing the war.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:04 am
This new MP has to scream a bit loud in order to make her LTTE – relatives and friends happy.
If she continues to behave this way, we have to start writing and sending emails to Mr. Jack Layton until he addresses it.

Asoka did not attack Tamil for sure. It is his duty as a patriotic sri lankan to counter respond.
However, Sinhalese in general have missed is something which is “who to respond and how to respond”. These Tamil groups who are against Sinhalese are instructed by particular group in the west who did not achieve their goal. They easily can be recognized if you look at how they freely have been operating in Sri lanka since 1983; more secretly under UNP and more openly under president Rajapakse. they openly have been writing books against Sinhalese identity and helping tigers to make movies against Buddhism and Sinhalese. and finally, they have reached Sri lanka to make movie about Dutugamunu. How they finally got the Sinhalese to make movie in our own country? Last few weeks or months they were publishing articles which said that they smuggled Tigers into the west; This is a big ploy they used to frighten foolish Sinhalese and get them to agree to make a fake movie about Dutugamunu. I have watching how these western spies manipulating Sinhalese, however, under the president Rajapakse, these manipulation have worked perfect. Now, they telling Sinhalese “if you want to win tiger diaspora, you have to change your identity and changed Sri lanka history.
Now Dear Asoka, what is the solution for this? Do we have to be scared of western spies tigers diaspora, Ban monkey Moon and his spies and sell our soul, betray our history and our bold ancestors or we counter the western spies by legal mean.
I have told Sinhalese many time about this matter. This is not a Tamil problem. This is Western European problem. these problem came from western European graveyard. We need to give these people who are behind these Tamil groups and US one more chance in the name of peace and ask them to stay out of Sri lanka affairs or face criminal charges in North America and Europe. We have have written to them many time before. This is the final chance they have. However, an establishment of global funds to face any conspiracy should ready.
I have expressed my full support to Sri lanka communities many time before to canal millions of dollars to use for various purpose will begin it in most likely in Ottawa, the capital of Canada and I found Asoka is the right man to run first Sinhalese globe fund raising center and globe legal team.
May 16th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Asoka, have you gone crazy? your first sentance gives a A+ to this COW, Rathika for what? What is the difference between Jayalalitha enthusiasm and Rathika enthusiasm? They are the SAME. Both wants to take down Rajapakse Government and put SRI LANKA in to turmoil that was there before may 19th 2009. You write excellent articles and this one is the same, but the first sentance is worse than thrash. I like an answer. How did this COW get elected? May be because I am a Sinhala American, I cannot understand the STUPID Canadian electorial system. May be Tamil Sangahm in Boston gave you KAPPAN to include this A+ sentance. This COW is trying to set up a UN quorum inside the Canadian Parliement. I do not know why you cannot see this!
May 16th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
This undercover LTTE agent’s – “M.S. Mudali’s” – agenda here is to goad the Sinhelas to come out swinging against the West and the Catholic church as that is exactly what the LTTE-rump in the West want to see. He always attacks pro-SL, patriotic writers here (such as Mahindapala) and, of course, like all of the LTTE-rump in the West, he criticizes the LTTE too! This LTTE-rump in the West wants to see Sri Lanka go on a confrontational path with the West and ultimately alienate herself from the West to the point that they can pull a “Gaddafi” on Sri Lanka with the West’s support. Therefore, Patriots do not be misled by this vile, undercover LTTE mischievous maker.
May 17th, 2011 at 1:36 am
LTTE is worst than Hitler´s Nasi. Nasi showed Germans Jude Community as enemy. LTTE shows Sinhala and Sri Lankan Government are enemies of Tamils. But Nasi never killed their own community. But LTTE Kills Tamils and
LTTE exploits whole world. LTTE consists high Tech Tamil Criminals of the world. We can win only by protecting people from supporting them.

Asoka ! Marzuki Darusman was not a professional A.G, he was a politician. Darusman was a member of Parliament for the Suharto’s corrupted anti-democratic ruling Golkar party, from 1978-1999 represented Bandung for 15 years. Suharto was one of the cruelest mass murderers who killed more than 2 million Indonesian civilians in 1965-66 with the support of Americans.
Marzuki was Attorney General for just two years in 1999-2001. This is first time I heard a politician appointed as an A.G., never in a democratic country.
He appointed as an attorney general for his party boss Suharto’s inquiry. Darusman was reluctant to go too far against his boss. This is how Marzuki saved brutal mass murderer, who killed two million civilians, a cruel dictator,an American lap dog Suharto!

Asoka and Radhika are Canadian citizens. Me too. When Muslims tried to blast Toronto, I did not see a any response from this Card holding conservative Canadian but whenever any Tamil names comes, he barks like silly dog!
He is a racist and never tell anything why UNP supported LTTE. UNP, Catholic Church and other pro western parties in Sri Lanka supported LTTE. We have to clean our home first.
Are you Sinhalese tell here nothing happened in Sri Lanka? Are you guys telling LTTE alone did all the terror?
Now a book penned by an Indian diplomat that Premadasa wanted to kill himself to protect the LTTE from the IPKF onslaught!
Sinhalese better stop wagging your tails to the WHITES who want a military base in Sri Lanka without the intervention of India. Robert O Blake told the congress that Sri Lanka must be under the USA control to save the AMERICAN INTERESTS! The same Blake is barking in Sri Lanka in support of LTTE!
Sinhala idiots think a Sinhala traitor is a better person over a Tamil patriotic person! Dont try to make another Don Juan Dharmapala in Sri Lanka!
May 17th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Jimmy:
You better explain why Catholic Church worked with LTTE till the last day. You better ask Fr. Emmanuel who head the GTF why he praised the LTTE as the divine soldiers of Christ!
I have all the right to call Asoka a racist because he beatup the bush to hide the WESTERN agenda over Sri lanka! Tamil-Sinhala divide is the tool always used by the Church and other western coolies in Sri lanka to serve their masters in America or Britain!
May 17th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Mudali,
This letter written by Asoka has nothing to do with Catholic Church and you have nothing to talk other than Catholic Church.
Are you paid by the Catholich Church and LTTE to create animosity amoung Sinhala Buddhist and then get the west to attack Sri Lanka ?
That is not going to happen because Sinhala people believe in ” Win the bad by the goodness policy” by Buddha.

Nothing to surprise tribalism is the only factor she won the election. Majority of tamils votes to a tamil woman, if this not the tribalism what it is? Tamil tribalism overrides the democracy. Tribalism is the twin sister of racism.
I heard Toronto’s Scarborough is a LTTE terrorist’s den and some called it little Jaffna. No doubt LTTE members canvas her victory and spent election expenses on their black money. Totally she got 18,000 votes to elect. Out of her 18000 votes no doubt minimum 17,000 can be tamil votes.
Most of tamils don’t know what is NDP, Liberal, Conservative or Socialism. They vote what LTTE leaders says. In Sri Lanka plantation workers and tamil voters, vote on mainly tribalism. They applied the same method in Canada also.
Even in Sri Lanka when LTTE ordered tamils to vote to TNA they voted. When LTTE ordered them not to vote they don’t vote. In Colombo electorates specially Colombo West, Colombo Central, Colombo North and Colombo East where majority is tamil always vote for U.N.P on LTTE influence. This type of pre-decided influenced democracy never represent peoples mandate. Rathika has to act as a spokes person to LTTE as Sampandan doing in Sri Lanka.

Dear Readers -In my comments on May 15th I gave the so far unchallanged(for sure it will nerver be challanged) Legal position of USA in the killing of Bin Laden.
Now you are referred to the Political stand of USA in this case. President Obama in his address to the Nation said ” I ordered the Director of CIA to make a killing or capture Osama Bin Laden who is responsible for 9/11 attack. At last justice has been done to the victims of 9/11. We will not stand idly when our security is threatened”.
Mr. Ban Ki Moon – over to you. Where do you stand with this political and legal justification of eleminating “Terrorists”?. You are now stranded in the wilderness. Again to explain your present position in the simple words of Sri Lankan villagers, in their wisdom, “Uthura, Dakuna hoyaganna beruwa atharamang vela”,(stranded and cannot find the North or the South). These simple expressions are very useful for you at this moment and I am very sorry for you. You will be dropped like a hot brick. So watch out.
Ms. Navaneethan Pillai – over to you. You wanted full details in regard to the killing of Bin Laden. Are you happy now. Where do you stand in regard to Sri Lanka file? For sure, you will have to throw it to the “dustbin” under your table or send it straight to the “shradder”
President Mahinda Rajapaksa – over to your Sir. You are not alone now. You are very much backed by the “Biggest Power” both politically and legally. Now please close this “Darusman Report” and get on with rebuilding our Paradise island – Sri lanka. Perhaps Mr. Blake (Jr) in his recent visit to Sri Lanka would have communicated this message from President Obama and asked you not to fear, but get going with the development work.

Rohana:
You are unable to grasp the reality. That is why you cry with a racist flavour about the victory of Radhika. Only 6,800 TAMIL votes are in the Scarborough-Rough River electorate. 12,000 non-Tamils voted her. With out knowing the facts you bark as a usual. NDP WAVE was the main reason for her victory and not the Tamil votes. In Quebec many unknown faces won under NDP. One NDP was elected but she never visited the electorate.
You Sinhala guys cry because a Tamil girl has made a History. Even President Rajapaksha wished her in a message. Try to swallow your racist thinking and cry “First Sri Lankan in the Canadian Parliament!”

Mudali, In your 18/05/11 comment you already admits that out of 18,000 votes Sri Lankan tamil block votes 6800, have voted to her. It is tribalism that manipulates democracy. Not that tamils have voted to NDP. How many tamils have read NDP manifesto? Tamils read only LTTE manifesto and voted to a tigress.
She is a tail less tigress that’s why we don’t like her not because she is a tamil. She is none second to tamil nadu Jaya Lalitha.
“In May 2009, near the end of Eelam war, we poured on to the streets in tens of thousands and we lobbied at every level of government and every party in the government. ….” Rathika Sitsabaiesan. She is a LTTE terror supporter who tried to save barbarian megalomaniac velupillai.
Don’t try to hide the truth Mudali.

Rohana:
You did not explain why majority of her votes came from non-Tamils. Further not only LTTE but all the western countries, Red Cross and others too barked to stop the war. Americans too tried to send ship to rescue the Tigers.
Remember Radhika sofar never uttered a word about LTTE. So, be cool man.
You Sinhalese supported LTTE and UNP’s FM Tyrrone Fernando cried that Prabhakaran was the real PATRIOTIC Sri lankan. Did you or any Sinhala donkey shout at him or at UNP?
You better explain why UNP to Catholic Church wanted to save the ass of the LTTE! Radhika is a Tamil and support Tamils. But you Sinhala Soorayos supported LTTE on what grounds? Even Premadasa threaten India by suicide to save the LTTE.
Tamil bashing is the easy way for the nasty Sinhalese to hide their colloboration with USA and LTTE! Sto it and try to find out the truth!

Mudali! It was tamil monkeys who worshiped vellatithurai smuggler megalomaniac barbarian velupillai as their son-god (suriya thevan). How you define it Mudali!
We know who lick westerner’s toes. So why tamil Rudra Kumaran and S.J Emmanuel Pillai lick toes of Americans Robert O’Blake, Hillary Clinton and their henchmen David Milliband and Eric Solheim?

Mudali,
There is not question about racism among Sinhala people. They are unable to be racist. Even Premadasa,JR or even the worst Ranil are not racist.
On the other hand, there are very few racist among Tamil people and the truth is most of them are Catholics or Christians.
LTTE is making use of Catholics. They are not Catholics.
If any Tamil is not a racist , then credit should go to the west and to the Church – because they educated them.

Correction. There are very few non-racist among Tamil people.

From the start of this EELAM drama, Tamil separatists got ample help from UNP Sinhalese. Even the whereabouts of Policemen who were behind the terrorists were tipped off by JR & Co. Many such Tamil Police men were hunted by the LTTE.
At every nook and corner Tamils were forced to obey LTTE with the help of the nasty Sinhala UNP! UNP and LTTE work for the same masters. Better understand it!
