Nonetheless,\u00a0 what we have seen over the last one year is attempting to find fault with our war heroes for defeating over 30 years of terrorism which plagued our country and to net family members, friends and supporters of the former President through an unconstitutional and illegal outfit called FCID.<\/p>\n<p>They have no concern at all about the hardships being faced by the people due to growing unemployment, increasing rice and vegetable prices, farmers suffering from lack of fertilizer, ever increasing drug prices, skyrocketing fish prices, many essential items becoming super luxury items, small groceries being forced to close down, children getting under-nourished and people being forced to skip at least one meal a day.<\/p>\n<p>Under the diktats of the Tamil diaspora and the pro-terrorist international elements the puppet President and the Kalu Suddha Prime Minister speak of some injustices they claim that had been done to the Tamil people and the necessity to rectify these illusory injustices. They seem to be unaware that Tamil people suffered for the last three decades because of atrocities carried out by the tiger terrorists and it is only the war heroes of our country who rescued around 300,000 Tamils as otherwise they would have been perished as human shields of the terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>There is a well known anecdote saying the spots of the leopards will not change merely because of changing the forest.\u00a0 Confirming this saying the pro-tiger terrorist elements have come now to openly and blatantly criticize the country and the people on communal grounds.\u00a0\u00a0 They have no concern at all for the national flag or for the national anthem which are sacred symbols of our country.<\/p>\n<p>The website Tamil Guardian\u201d boasts that the UNP\u2019s State Minister for Child Affairs Mrs.Vijayakala Maheswaran refused to hoist the Sri Lankan flag, the Lion Flag, in Jaffna on Monday night at a function held for opening a science lab at Meesalai Veerasingam College in Thenmaratchi, in the Jaffna district. \u00a0The website said that she claimed that she had been a member of parliament for six years but however not one day during this period she has hoisted the lion flag out of principle and will not give up on\u00a0this principle.<\/p>\n<p>The website comments that Sri Lanka&#8217;s lion flag is seen as controversial by many Tamils in the North-East due to its Sinhala Buddhist\u00a0symbolism and its use\u00a0throughout the armed conflict\u00a0for state triumphalism and oppression.<\/p>\n<p>Under these circumstances, it should be asked from this government whether similar to the submission they made in singing the national anthem in Tamil under the pressure of Tamil separatist elements will they now subdue to Mrs. Vijayakala Maheswaran and her ilk to have a separate Tamil\u201d Flag to hoist at functions they attend or they participate.<\/p>\n<p>Kalu Suddha Prime Minister Ranil Wicremasinghe as the leader of the United National Party under which she is represented in the Parliament should clearly indicate to the parliament and the people of this country what action will be taken by his party against this maverick State Minister for publicly and blatantly disrespecting the National Flag of this country and when she will be sacked from her Ministerial portfolio and the Party.<\/p>\n<p>All peace loving people of this country should vehemently condemn the arrogant behavior of this State Minister and demand the government to sack her immediately as otherwise it would create a precedent to other Tamil separatists also to follow her guidance in their quest for separatism and to disregard the National Flag..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By A.A.M.Nizam &#8211; MATARA The government with the blind backing of its stooges, the JVP hooligans and the TNA separatists has no concern at all for the national, cultural and religious values of this country which has been deemed and safeguarded as sacred for nearly 3,000 years.
