Dear Ms. Meenakshi Ganguly:

What’s this that I read, a nasty bit of news reported by Human Rights Watch from New York which said, Respect for fundamental human rights in Sri Lanka is in serious jeopardy following Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s election as President in November 2019, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2020.”

Meenakshi, come again.  You must be joking. Was the person who wrote that piecefor the World Report 2020 on Sri Lanka on some kind of a hallucinating drug, andon a high, when the person was writing it, in Whoopee do, I am in Lala land?”

If it was supposed to be a joke then I didn’t get it, and it was a cruel joke.  Here’s what I mean.

     1.  If Gotabaya Rajapaksa who as Secretary of Defence led a team of armed forces who annihilated the world’s most ruthless terrorists, the Tamil Tigers, on 19 May 2009, who hemorrhaged Sri Lanka for 30 bloody years, and gave back to their 20.5 million Sri Lanka’s people their fundamental human    rights”, their Right-to-Life, which was hijacked by these Tamil Tiger   terrorists, being elected as President of Sri Lanka should not be an issue of terrorists, being elected as President of Sri Lanka should not be an issue of  concern to anyone, and most certainly not Human Rights Watch. 

           After all, 6,924,255  (52.25%) voted for him and you outsiders have no moral right to announce to the world that, Respect for fundamental human   rights in Sri Lanka is in serious  jeopardy following Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s election as President in November 2019,”   Wow, Human     Rights Watch, hold on to your horses right there”.  Who the hell does Human Rights Watch think you are to be so pretentious and obnoxious., That’s a load of Bull” Meenakshi.

           This Gotabaya’s Classic Text book ‘fundamental’ Humanitarian Act in a Terrorist War has never been recognized and spoken of by your pretentious squeaky clean Human  Rights Watch guys or any other joker-International Human Rights outfit like Amnesty International.  That itself is proof positive that you  guys are  anti-Gotabaya Human Rights Humbugs.” 

           Shame on you all,  I say to Human Rights Watch, just cut out that        boloney.

      2.    Was it that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa as Secretary of Defence led a team of armed forces and rescued 295,873 Tamil refugees in 2009, from  the clutches of the most ruthless terrorists in the world, the Tamil Tigers, who used them as a human shield, and were marched for 30 months like a herd  of unwashed cattle from the west coast to the east coast under the scorching Jaffna-Killinochchi sun.

              Is this restoring of fundamental Human Rights” of 295,873 Tamil   refugees the reason why Human Rights Watch feels that respect   for fundamental human rights in Sri Lanka is in serious jeopardy       following Gotabaya’s election as  President in November 2019.”

              Sweet Mother of Jesus, these guys at Human Rights Watch  are up their  rocker. What a hocus-pocus logic is that?  Come on Meenakshi, ask your   anti-Gotabaya colleagues to give me a break.

              I don’t get it Meenakshi.  If it was meant to be a joke then your outfit were  pulling my wrong leg.  It is the right leg that had jingle bells, so that I could   have had a hearty laugh Ha, Ha…Haa! in sync to the sound of the staccato  ringing jingle bells. You guys at  Human Rights Watch must be suffering from a mystery New Yorker ‘Dishonest’ syndrome’.

              Tell me, Meenakshi, how is it that you all shy away from honesty and the truth when dealing about Gotabaya.  I thought you were a bunch of pristine Human Rights wallahs on a World Watch, but now I find that you guys at Human Rights Watch are a bunch of no good Humbugs.  Did you all  ever mention this amazing Classic Rescue Mission of the 295,873        Tamil refugees from the clutches of the most ruthless Terrorists in the World, the Tamill Tigers, who perfected the art of human suicide            bombings with a suicide body pack?

               O Hell Na! That is my litmus test on your honesty being the International Human Rights  Police.  You all bombed it with your stupid anti-Gotabaya rhetoric. You failed miserably and you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

               Mind you 6,924,255 Sri Lankans voted for Gotabaya to be their   President. So why are you all belly aching, Meenakshi?  Human Right         Watch has no moral right to challenge the will of the Sri Lankan people’s     choice.  That’s what counts.  And you bet, that everyone of the 6,924,255        Sri Lankans who voted for Gotabaya to be their President will tell every        Human Rights Watch staffer to go jump into a Winter’s icy cold lake, and    those in the warmer countries, to go and fly a kite.

       3.     Meenakshi, Human Rights Watch being an almost exclusively a US- American Organization, I am not surprised that what good President      Gotabaya did in favour of fundamental Human Rights while being the        Secretary of Defence will not be picked up and ignored by your               Organization’s radar. 

                We all know who butters’ your and your colleagues slices of white-bread  for your breakfast, don’t we, Meenakshi.

                 If  fundamental Human Rights is to see that people do not starve to   death, especially in a war theatre, and sustain them by providing them    with food.  That is why we have Food Banks dotted in countries to sustain      the lives of the hungry and the poor,  and we have quite a few Food Banks    in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa too.

                 If that is indeed the case, tell me how come Human Rights Watch did    not have the courtesy, not have the honesty, not have the courage,   not have the gumption, not have the grace, not have the dignity to  acknowledge loud and clearly to the world, since you act as if you are the   Human Rights World Police, when  Gotabaya’s team prepared one million hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners every day to feed the  295,873 rescued Tamil Refugees who were used as a human shield by   the most ruthless terrorists in the world, the Tamil Tigers.

                 This was a Himalayan undertaking for a puny island like Sri Lanka, and  yet Human Rights Watch had difficulty to recognize this Nobel Peace Prize caliber Classic Textbook fundamental humanitarian Human    Rights Act, pat Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s back and say, Good show                  Mr. Gotabaya.  Way to go!”

                  How come you all didn’t,  Meenakshi?  I smell a nest of rats there!

These Tamil Refugees were housed in temporary camps, and some of  Gotabaya’s members of the armed forces acted as temporary cooks and  chefs to prepare the million meals a day for the rescued Tamil Refugees.

 These camps that housed and fed the Tamil refugees were the living    laboratory of the fundamental Human Rights you guys talk of.  

Hallelujah!  Eat your hearts out Human Rights Watch.  

  Providing the fundamental Human Rights is a natural feature in       Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s planning and thinking for his people.

How could you all ignore it.  How could you’ll miss it, and come up with that rubbish about him in your World Report 2020.  What a  bunch of Yahoos!

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the then Defence Secretary was                  involved in these honest fundamental Human Rights acts, every step  of the way.

 And Human Rights Watch says to the world that Respect for    fundamental human rights in SriLanka is in serious jeopardy following Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s election as President in   November 2019.”  What piffle! What a crock of codswallop! What a statement from a sick!  It would be interesting to find out whether the   author of that statement for your World Report 2020, was on a  hallucinating drug high, when writing it in a state of Whoopee do, I am   in Lala  land.”

                   So Meenakshi, your Human Rights Watch had the gall and temerity to    tell the world in your World Report 2020 –   Respect for fundamental human rights in Sri Lanka is in serious  jeopardy following Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s election as President in November 2019, Human Rights Watch said today in its World   Report 2020.”

tell the world in your World Report 2020 –  Respect for fundamental human rights in Sri Lanka is in serious  jeopardy following Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s election as President in  November 2019, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2020.”

                    Shish! What a bunch of disingenuous Yahoos, what a bunch of anti-    Gotabaya Humbugs.

                    Meenakshi, now I understand why Human Rights Watch has been    kicked out from several countries.   And it certainly does not look pretty     when a country like Cameroon does it.  No doubt they had a reason.

                    I sincerely hope that when you deal with Sri Lanka the next time, cut  out that false disingenuous crap, and stop undermining the intelligence  of Sri Lankans.  And show us that you all at Human Rights Watch    notwithstanding who butters your slice of white-bread have the   capacity to be sincere, to be honest, to be truthful and make an effort to   understand what fundamental Human Rights are all about.  Like finding  away to give back to 20.5 million people their right-to-life which had been hijacked by a terrorist group; like rescuing 295,873 Tamil refugees from the clutches of a ruthless Tamil Terrorist group which had used them as a human shield for 30 months; like sustaining the lives of  295,873 refugees by preparing one million hearty breakfasts, lunches   and dinners without letting them starve to death. If they do fit in to  International norms of ‘fundamental Human Rights’ thenacknowledge them without holding back that amazing bit of news from  around the world. 

                    Failing to be honest and not acknowledging those fundamental human   rights and presenting them to the world is proof positive that Human Rights Watch is an Organization of  HUMBUGS.  It is that simple.

                    I doubt that the present Sri Lanka’s administration will tolerate that    rubbish in World Report 2020 spewed by your Human Rights Watch .

                    Enough is enough.

                     My hunch is that they will not tolerate International bullies who try to  run their business, by poking their noses into Sri Lanka’s internal-    affairs.

                     You bet! I resent what you all said about Sri Lanka’ new President   Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who 6,924,25 (52.25%) Sri Lankans voted him in.. Human Rights Watch, you certainly got my goat.

Sincerely,

Asoka Weerasinghe (Mr.)
