Dear Members of Ontario Parliament,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nwrite to you as a contributor to a webinar on 16\/8\/20 organised by the ” Ontario\nCentre for Policy Research<\/strong>” on the alleged Tamil Genocide in Sri Lanka\nand the  Mullivaikal Massacre, that has formed the basis of the above\nbill.  Mullivaikal  in Mulativu Sri Lanka , is where the final\nbattles that laid to rest three decades of brutal terrorism in SL \nwere  fought in May 2019. In these the  Sri Lankan forces \ndefeated decisively  the Terrorist, The Tamil Tigers in battles\nacknowledged  widely as clean . The massacre that is being alleged is a\nTamil civilian casualty figure of 40,000 or more in the last few weeks of the\nbattles in Mullivaikali . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nreal casualty figure assessed by the UN resident representative in SL at the\ntime , Sir John Holmes was around 7000 or less, consistent with the collateral\ndamage expected from the magnitude of the battle . These numbers have been\nconfirmed in the documents tabled by Lord Naseby in the British House of Lords\nin October 2017 and by the census carried out by the Tamil University teachers\n, a few months after the end of the war. The absence of the expected two to\nthree times that number of war wounded, lack of any traces of burial or disposing\nof that  number of war dead, the findings of the internationally\nsupervised Paranagama commission into missing persons from the war,  and\nmany other investigations have al led to the same conclusion <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far\nfrom being massacred by Sri Lankan forces, nearly 300,000 Tamil civilians who\nhad been held captive by the Tigers  as human shields at gun point and\noften shot at to prevent escape,  for months to protect themselves\n  from the advancing Sri Lankan security forces, streamed into the\nhands of these very same security forces , as the pictures below show, the\nmoment they were rescued from the Tigers at Mullivaikal . This is hardly the\nresponse one would expect if they had been  just subjected to a\n Miullivaikal massacre, as the Tiger Diaspora allege, through the\n Bill 104 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These\nallegations therefore have no factual basis at all and are the construct of the\ninternational Tiger Diaspora,  that supported  Tiger terror ion Sri\nLanka  for 3 decades with funds and propaganda . 150,000of them are based\nin Canada especially in the Ontario region and are behind the sponsoring\n of this bill . Tamil Tigers used terror in Sri Lanka to create a\nmonoethnic Tamil state of  Elam which would have  consisted of two\nthirds  of Sri Lankas coast line and one third of the land area of Sri\nLanka, that would be the home to  just 8% of Sri Lanka\u2019s present\npopulation. Having failed at war, now the Tiger Diaspora are resorting to \na complex web of deceit and deception, to garner western support to pressurise\nSri Lanka to relent into giving them Elam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ninitial  genesis of  this demand lies in the fact that the Tamils\nwere the privileged minority during one hundred and fifty years<\/strong> of\nDivide & Rule\u201d British colonial administration<\/strong> . Following\nindependence in 1948 , the consequent loss of these colonial privileges were\nseen  by some Tamils as discrimination and presented as such to fellow\nTamils to induce them into violence and Terror. This misrepresentation also had\na fertile  soil in the well meaning western  minds, prepared to\naccept allegations of minority discrimination\u201d , without too much inquiry.\nThese formed the basis of allegations of  Tamil discrimination\u201d that has\nnow been further exaggerated beyond  belief, to Tamil Genocide\u201d, to\njustify the call for Elam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through\nthis  bill  the  Tiger Diaspora aims to incorporate and\nreinforce, using Canadian state funds,  these baseless allegations into\nthe Toronto school curriculum and other think tanks in Canada , to make it an\nunchallenged fact eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please\nread the attached transcript of my presentation at the webinar referred\nto  that explains further  why these  allegations are baseless\nand why the bill should be defeated out right . Presenting it is a clear misuse\nof sacred democratic freedoms of Canada and if ratified will seriously\nundermine ethnic reconciliation now going on in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank\nyou very much for your support and cooperation in defeating this bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours\nSincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the 290,000 victims waded into the hands of the Sri Lankan Troops at the end of the war in May 2009<\/strong>, straight after the alleged Mullivaikal\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0( Mullativu) Massacre of Tamils by the Sri Lankan troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How credible is it<\/strong> that if they were the victims of a Massacre, they would stream back\ninto the arms of those who were responsible for the massacre <\/p>\n\n\n\n
