Lokh Sabha MP in the Indian Parliament representing Pondicherry

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Dear Velu Narayanasamy:

The Hindu reports that you had said, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Gotabaya remarks on IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s role unacceptableƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He got you under your skin I see.

ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-As far as India is concerned Indira and Rajiv Gandhi supported Tamils. We even lost Rajiv Gandhi (assassinated by members of the LTTE), who sent India Peace Keeping Force to help Tamils.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  RajapaksaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s statement is unacceptable.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Sri Lanka is responsible for terrorism as Tamils took to terrorism because their rights were deniedƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚, you told reporters at the Chennai Airport on Friday, 12 April, 2013.

Velu, let see whether I can get this right for you as you seem to be cock-eyed as most of you Tamil politicians are and are a bunch of jokers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  If that statement was to be a joke, then I missed the punch line, and you should have pulled my left leg and not the right as the left had the jingle bells.

If Mum and Son GandhiƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢sƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  supported the Sri Lankan Tamils, they should have invited the Sri Lankan-Tamils whom you say had been discriminated to live in their Motherland, Tamil Nadu, where by the 1980s 61 million of their brethren lived.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  The fact is that the GandhiƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s didnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  When you think of it, that move was a GodƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s send for these TamilsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  as they flew and sailed out of Sri Lanka landing in places like Canada, England, Australia, US, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy when their flood gates were open for Tamil refugees.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They obviously liked the white-manƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s land rather than their brown Dravidian-land.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Sounds racist, but then I am not colour blind as that is the fact.

Velu, here is another fact that you had missed.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  If the Sri Lankan Tamils wanted to live in their Motherland, Tamil Nadu, perhapsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  even in your Pondicherry, 300,000 of them who flew out of the cuckooƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s nest in search of greener pastures with complains that they have been discriminated in Sri Lanka, thumbed their noses at you Tamils when passing by Tamil Nadu, on their way to Canada as refugee claimants and now living there happily ever afterƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and taking their annual pilgrimage to Sri Lanka to bask in the Sri Lankan beach-sun to get back a bit of their tan they lost in the Canadian winters.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Velu, didnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t you know that they prefer to come on their annual pilgrimage to Sri Lanka and not to Jayalalitha-country, the Tamil Nadu.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And that is a fact and you ought to make a note before you decide to immolate yourself for the Sri Lanka-Tamil cause.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  I have read that some Indian Tamils have been stupid enough just to do that. A crazy bunch, arenƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t you lot?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

Now, let me straighten you out about you IndianƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s not wanting to acceptƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the responsibility that you were the ones who moulded the sarong clad, bare-footed Tamil guerillas who couldnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t shoot straightƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  into AK47 shooting Tamil Tiger terrorists in jack boots and fatigues.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  That is the Made in India terrorists Cinderella story.

I know you seemed to be worried that once you admit that India created Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s terrorism that some of you will be hauled in front of an International War Crimes Court for aiding and abetting human rights violations by the Tamil Tiger terrorists.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ArenƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t you Velu?

But here is the story Velu, just follow my thread.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  This is India training Tamil Tiger terrorists to destabilize Sri Lanka : CreditƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Course 101.

Let me pick up the story for you from July 23, 1983.

After decades of intimidation of the Sinhalese by the Tamils in the Northern Jaffna peninsula, after stoning on 13 August, 1977, and chasing 400 Sinhalese undergraduates and lecturers from the Jaffna University campus by the Tamils, and ethnically cleansing 27,000 Sinhalese between 1971 and 1981, the Tamils were sitting on aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  gun-powder-keg waiting to blow up.

And so it happened on the night of July 23, 1983 (Now donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t lose my thread, Velu).

At 2328 hours the radio at Gurunagar crackled.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Four, four Bravo for Four Four.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  We are now leaving Urumpirai Junction.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Absolutely nothing to report.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  The town is very quiet.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚

The Sri Lankan army convoy consisted of a Jeep number plated AY 4889 in which were seated 2^nd/Lt. Wass Gunawardene, sitting next to the driver Private N.A.S. Manatunga. In the rear were Lance Corporal G.D. Perera and Privates S.S. Amarasinghe, S.P.G. Rajatillake and K.P. Karunaratne.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And the convoy also consisted of a Tata Benz half truck with a 26 Sri 3193 plate in which were Sergeant S.I.Thilekaratne seated in front with the driver Corporal G.R. Perera and Private A.J.R. Perera. Seated in the rear were Corporal R,A,U, Perera, Lance Corporal Sumathipala, Privates M.B. Sunil and D.N. M.A.D, Manapitiya.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  (DonƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t lose my thread, Velu).

It was still the night of July 23, 1983.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Within five minutes of leaving Urumpirai Junction the convoy was slowing down near Thinnaveli because of an obstruction on the road due to a telecommunication installation.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  When the convoy was passing the excavation ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” BOOM!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They were ambushed by the Tamil Tigers with a thunderous explosion and machine gun fire.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Thirteen members of the army convoy were killed.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  The powder keg that I talked of earlier, exploded.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  It was hell after that momentous moment that dragged on for another 27 bloodying years. Tamil Nadu political leaders and later Indira GandhiƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s cunning were at the background of this incident, and I will get to that.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Word got around of the Thinnaveli ambush which made the Sinhalese angry.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  After decades of intimidation by the Tamils, the Sinhalese were no Saints not to react otherwise. So there was a riot and the Tamils got the worst of it.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  (Velu, are you still with me?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  DonƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t drift away!) There were blood, there were killings and there were burnings.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  It was ugly.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  That incident was never repeated again even when the Tamil Tigers provoked the Sinhalese with massacres and bayoneting infants plucked out of the arms of young Sinhalese breast feeding mothers.

By 1983, the Congress (I) to remain in power in New Delhi, Indira GandhiƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  was certain that votes from Tamil Nadu or her ally, the AIADMK were essential.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Thus New Delhi had little option but to support covertly or overtly the interests of the Tamil Nadu state.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And what was that, Velu?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Thus the geostrategic-political implications where extra-regional powers would beƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  drawn into the war of Sri Lanka against the Tamil militant separatists gave Indira Gandhi a license to involve India in the internal affair of its neighbour Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Thus she planted the germ where you Indians aided and abetted the Tamil Tigers in their war in Sri Lanka where human rights were violated.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And Velu, which ever way you wish to slice the paratha roti, India keeps surfacing as the main culprit implicated with these War crimes, which you are trying to use Sri Lanka as the scape goat. And you, Velu , said that ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Sri Lanka is responsible for terrorism as Tamils took to terrorism because their rights were denied.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  What rights, Velu?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  List them for me/us, so that we all know what the heck you are alluding to.

But Velu, letƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s not forget that the Tamil Tigers did not fight their Eelam terrorist war with catapults, stones and bamboo-sticks.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They were fighting with AK47s, RPGsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and hand grenades introduced to them by your India, and it is your India who taught them how to pull the triggers of assault rifles at Sinhalese human targets, and pull the pins of live hand grenades and lobƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  them at the Sinhalese.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And that training was not done by power-point displays or tutorial DVDs, as they were not used in military field camps then.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They were all given training in 32 military camps in Tamil Nadu and at the foothills of the Himalayas.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Velu, you Indians are guilty with this criminal activity.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And how dare you try to wriggle out of that criminality?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Own up Velu, be an honest politician, and a shiningƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Indian Politician Star to boot.!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  (Velu, are you still following my thread?)

Prior to the July 1983 riots, the Sri Lankan security assessed that the Tamil guerillas to be only around 200 strong.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  But the July riots gave the opportunity for the Tamil guerillas to recruit Tamil youth in scores of hundreds. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And they grew in leaps and bounds, and not to fight the Sri Lankan armed forces with catapults, stones and bamboo sticks.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They wanted to fight them with real assault rifles and throw live hand grenades at their perceived enemies, for the want of their separate Tamil state, Eelam, carved out of the North and East of Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  So they established a rapport with the Tamil Nadu politicians beginning with Perum Sithanar, the ultra nationalist who was campaigning for the separation of Tamil Nadu from the rest of India.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  And the naxalite leader Pon Kothanadaraman who was in hiding.

M.G. Ramachandran, Tamil NaduƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s ruling party AIADMK leader picked the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) to train them in army camps to send them back to Sri Lanka with weapons, fatigues and in jackboots to terrorize, kill and destabilize Sri Lanka; and KarunanidhiƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the leader of the DMK chose the TELO (Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization) and theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  groups EROS (Eelam Revolutionary Organization of Students) and EPRLF (Eelam Peoples Revolutionary Liberation Front) were supported by the centre in New Delhi. (Velu, are you still following my thread)

Velu, let me tell you what these Tamil guerillas were trainedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  to do at the military camps by your retired Indian army officers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They certainly werenƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t taught how to use a fork and spoon, nor social etiquette when meeting aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Brahamin woman at a High Caste Tamil gathering.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They were trained for unarmed combat, weapon training 303 rifles, AK47s and T56, pistols and Browning revolvers, LMGs, SMGs.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Firing practice, Leopard crawls, Monkey crawls, Ghost walks, First Aid, preparation of Molotov cocktails, fire-fighting endurance tests, guerilla warfare, jungle warfare, 2ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ mortars, engaging rocket launchers and detonating explosives, etc.

Velu, these military training of Tamil GuerrillaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s at 32ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Indian military camps, was not for them to participate in ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Cops and RobbersƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ local inter-community competitionsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  at Summer Fairs.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  With thatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  specialized military training, Indira Gandhi, Ramachandrean and KarunanidhiƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  after graduating them as terrorists sent them back to Sri Lanka cradling Kalashnikovs like babies in their arms, with festoons of live bullets around their necks, having discarded their sarongs and sandals in military fatigues and jackboots to kill, maim innocent Sinhalese and Muslims civilians and destabilize Sri Lanka. (Are you still with me, Velu?)

So, Velu, that is the story and stop challenging my intelligence.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Jokes a side, you Indians wereƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  top of theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”champion-bullyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ classƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Asian Terrorist MafiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ who aided and abetted every incident of human rights violation during last few months of the Eelam war, andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  happens to be theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  perfect candidates to be hauled in front an International War CrimesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Court in the Hague.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Velu, I cannot see how you Indians can wriggle out of this predicament.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  (Velu, I hope youƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  followed my thread and got all of the real story.)

Now to challenge your statement ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦Tamils took to terrorism because their rights were denied.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ LetƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s see whether I can get your facts right!

1. 1.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ By 1981, the 12.6% minority Tamils could buy one square inch of land in every nook and corner of Sri Lanka and not the majority 74% Sinhalese who were denied buying one square inch of land in the Jaffna peninsular because of the Thesavalamai LawƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦so according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. NarayanasamyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  TamilsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  felt discriminated and terrorizedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Interesting fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦.!;
2. 2.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  By 1981, the Inspector General of Police (Rudra Rajasingham a Jaffna Tamil), The ChiefƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Justice of the Supreme Court (S.Sharvananda, a Jaffna Tamil),ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and the Attorney GeneralƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  (Siva Pasupathy a Jaffna Tamil) were from the minorityƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Tamil community and not from the majority Sinhalese communityƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦so according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. Narayanasamy,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Tamils felt that they were discriminated andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  terrorized the island nation.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Interesting fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..!;
3. 3.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  By 1981, three major Diplomatic Missions were headed by Tamils including London, and most of the diplomats were TamilsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦so according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. Narayanasamy,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  some military trained TamilsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  by India felt discriminated and terrorized Sri Lanka haemorrhaging the island for the next 27 years. Interesting fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..!;
4. 4.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  By 1981, the minority 12.6% Tamils in the state sector constitutedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  34.9%ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  engineers, 35.1% of doctors, 30.2% medical technicians, 33.1% of accountants and 28.9%ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  of surveyors and the percentages were not much different in the private sector tooƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  so according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. Narayanasamy, the minority 12.6% Tamils some of whom who wereƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  military trained by India felt that they were discriminated andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  terrorized the island nation.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Interesting fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦.!;
5. 5.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  By 1981, from the 12.6% population of the minority Tamils, the University admissions constituted 27.8% for Medicine, 44.8% for Veterinary Science, 23.5% for Agriculture, 33/3% for architecture, 34.9% for engineering, etc.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  So according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. Narayanasamy the minority 12.6% Tamils someƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  of whom were trained by India for military combatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  felt that they were discriminated and terrorized Sri Lanka for 27 years. Interesting Ha! Haa!! Fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..!;
6. 6.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  By 1981, the minority Tamils had two fully fledged universities in Jaffna and in Batticaloa for their Tamil students, who stoned and chased 400 Sinhalese undergraduates and lecturers on 13 August 1977, yet had their Tamils studying at southern universities without being harassed by the Sinhalese.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  So according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. Narayanasamy, the minority 12.6% Tamils felt that they discriminated and terrorized Sri Lanka for almost 30 years.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Interesting,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  another Ha! Haa!! fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..?;
7. 7.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  By 1981, the major grievance of the Tamil community was of the prevailing system of standardizing the University entrance marks, which would have given the opportunity for the students attendingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  northern Government village schools that have less educational facilities like well equipped science laboratories compared to students from the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”high society elitist CollegesƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ like theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Jaffna Central College, St. PatrickƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s College, Hartley College, Vembadi Girls School, Point Pedro Methodist College, and become doctors, lawyers and engineers rather than following their parentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s vocation becoming fishermen, chilli farmers and toddy tappers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Having seen the southern students enter UniversitiesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  fromƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  village Government Schools and not always from the elitist Colleges like Ananda, Nalanda, Royal St. Thomas, Wesley,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  St. JosephƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s St. PeterƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s, Visakha, Museums, St. BridgetƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Ladies, Trinity,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Richmond and Mahinda, et cetera, and becoming lawyers, doctors, architects and diplomats,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  proved positive the governmentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s intentions with this standardization policy.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  So according to Indian Union Minister V. Narayanasamy, some of the 12.6% TamilsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  who were trained by India to shoot Kalashnikovs at innocent civilians, felt that they were discriminated and terrorized Sri Lanka for 27 years.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Interesting fairy taleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..!;
8. Let me conclude with one more fact that would blow your Fairy TalesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  into comic relief trying toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  defend the Tamil Tiger terrorism, Velu.

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‚  In 1981, schools in the Jaffna Educational District were well supported and qualitatively superior in comparison with the situation elsewhere in the country.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Jaffna Educational District had 555 Government Schools for a Tamil student population of 207,524.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Whereas the capital Colombo had only 251 such schools for a multi-ethnic population of 231,690 students.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  In 1981, the Sri Lankan Tamils enjoyed a literacy rate of 88.3%, and the majority Sinhalese enjoyed a literacy rate of 86.5%.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  But according to IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister V. Narayanasamy, Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s 12.6% Tamils felt that they were discriminated andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  so terrorized Sri Lanka for 27 bloodying years.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union MinisterƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  made an interesting attempt with a cunning fairy tale to absolve and white-wash India for her human rights criminality for aiding and abetting Tamil Tiger terrorists human rights violations in Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦but it certainly wasnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t convincing enough to believe another of these IndianƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  anti-Sri Lanka TamilƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  politicians.

Come again Velu.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Try a different fairy tale of yours to defend the Tamil Tiger terrorists that you Indians spawned and cloned, and blaming the Sri Lankan Government for IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s criminality.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  It all boilƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s down to that India fits theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  bill of a human rights violator for aiding and abettingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Tamil Tiger terrorism that killed and maimed thousands ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  innocent peoples in Sri Lanka, andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  should be hauled in front of an International War Crimes Court.

Velu and that is how the cookie crumbles when you Indians try to flex your muscles at a puny neighbour and bully them by sending Mirage 2000s, screaming over Sri Lankan skies and parking two warships outside ColomboƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s territorial waters in July 1987 to intimidate them.

Too bad Velu, as Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rakapaksa was spot on with his statement about you Indian politicians.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  I am aware that the Sri Lankan Government repeats its strange manthra that ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-India is a good friend of oursƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ even when they see blood oozing out of Sri Lanka from the India inflictedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Geneva stab wounds.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  But I say tough tiddy to Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s hostile neighbour, India.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Perhaps, you may want to try a new cunning fairy tale as IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Union Minister to convince me that ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦Sri Lanka is responsible for terrorism as Tamils took to terrorism because their rights were denied.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Hope that Fairy tale will be a good one for your sake as I have already chalked you down as anotherƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  one of those Indian Tamil politicians who is trying toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ crucify Sri Lanka to the wall.

Sincerely

Asoka Weerasighe (Mr.)
