Sri Lanka is foolish not to stop dealings with Tamil Nadu

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Tamil Nadu government is reported to have cancelled the Asian Athletic Championships on political grounds ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” because athletes from Sri Lanka would be participants.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Mihin Lanka office in Madurai was attacked by Naam Tamilar supporters last week. The computers, office furniture and other items at the premises were vandalised by an unruly mob.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Bank of Ceylon office in Chennai was attacked by another Tamil gang prior to the latest incidents.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ A relative of the President of Sri Lanka, who incidentally happens to be married to a Tamil, had to cut short his visit to Tamil Nadu on account of violent protests some time back.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The SriLankan Airlines office was reportedly pelted with stones when images of the dead Pirabaharan, LTTE terrorist leader, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” the epitome of terrorism ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” were shown in the media.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Indian government assuring the safety of Sri Lankans visiting Tamil Nadu or of the offices and other premises used by Sri Lankan establishments is mere hogwash. The Central Government will never do anything to displease the Tamils in Tamil Nadu who derive their Dutch courage to attack Sri Lanka because of the statements and the stances espoused by the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Karunanidhi, Vaiko, Sreeraman, etc.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Madurai Mihin Lanka office was opened in December 2012 response to the requests by the business community based in that region. If the office of the agent was vandalised within a mere two months since its opening, it is essential to ask whether such a move was worthwhile.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister is forever shedding bucketfuls of tears on behalf of Tamil Nadu fishermen who allegedly are harassed, stoned, shot at or arrested by the Sri Lankan navy. Although the lady is all out to upgrade the living standards of Tamils in Sri Lanka ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” that is what the discerning reader would conclude from her incessant utterances and demands to the Central Government – she conveniently ignores that it is the livelihood of her darlings in Sri Lanka that her Tamil Nadu fishermen are robbing.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is time for Sri Lankans to stand their ground and tell the Tamil Nadu trouble makers, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Enough is enoughƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. Sri Lanka should stop all dealings with Tamil Nadu until the Dravidian state and its political bigwigs at least make an attempt to be a part of the civilised world. Furthermore, it is a shame for Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Buddhists, whose religion (or philosophy) does not recognise gods ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” Hindu or otherwise ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” granting favours to those who profess it toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ go to Tirupati or temples in other such places in Tamil Nadu for worship to invoke blessings or to expect favours.

India pretended to be a friendly country. India formed and assisted the terrorist group. GOSL should produce a report on involvement of India in terrorism in Sri Lanka and publish it for an international audience.

Ever since the British brought in over a MILLION low caste Tamil people as Indentured Labor into Sri Lanka during the Colonial rule times, Sri Lanka has continued to depend on Tamil people to do the tea estate work. Tea is the second largest foreign exchange earner for Sri Lanka.
Upcountry Tamils working in the tea estates are known as INDIAN Tamils. They are really Tamil Nadu (Indian) Tamils. There is no reason why they ought to be known as Indian Tamils. They are Sri Lanka Tamils now, as Lanka feeds, shelters, pays and educates them, and not India. They ought to be known as Sri Lanka Upcountry Tamils. There has to be shift in the attitudes here.
Tamil Nadu gains importance because of the Tamil tea estate workers. TN which has earlier opted to secede from India, is now very Indian ! The leaders there use the opportunity to slam Sri Lanka to cover the Caste/poverty issues of Tamil Nadu. The latest story is that TN has refused to hold the Asian Games there on the pretext of a protest against Sri Lanka ! How ridiculous can TN get.
The challenge for Sri Lanka is to stop over dependency on Tamil tea workers and Modernise & Mechanise the tea work so that people of any ethnicity can do that work. Since most of the large tea estates are under govt. control (with the earlier British Tea brokering firms running them), this should not prove to be a difficult task. Also, Tea estates worker should live outside the tea estates.
All Illegal migrants into Lanka, including those from Tamil Nadu, should be deported.
Over to you, GoSL. Go to the Root Cause of matters and Lanka can win through.

To see a tea plucking machine in operation, copy and paste this website address in the Google search box :

You can see for yourself how easy the operation is. Tea plucking machines are manufactured mainly in China and sold at low cost. These machines are used widely in Africa, China, India, etc. Why not in Sri Lanka ?

SL GOSL should protest Indian government ministers for going to the TESO meeting.
India still SUPPORTS Tamil Elam.
Why India arrests ONLY Psycho Vaiko? IF the loser is against SL, India will NOT arrest him. He has something against India. That is why he is arrested and others are freed.
SL should find ways to HELP HIM disturb India.
Once he threatened Tamil Madu will LEAVE India.
Sometimes you have to side with your enemy to screw a WORSE enemy and PIT one enemy against another.
e.g. Israel helping FATAH

“Why India arrests ONLY Psycho Vaiko? IF the loser is against SL, India will NOT arrest him … Once he threatened Tamil Madu will LEAVE India.”
– Ageed. Our people are too nice to these parasitical bootlickers of Velleikaran Empire. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Thats the only language they seem to understand.

We MUST build up a hidden army of Tamil and Hindi speaking agents to infiltrate TN and ND and cause Tamil Nadu to torment New Delhi and vice versa. Same as what they try to do to us. MOD are u reading this. We are being pushed into survival mode by these parasites.
