Hon. Prime Minister

Dear Sir:<\/p>\n

I refer to your statement of May 18,2017 on the eigth anniversary of the end of the war in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

I note that you extend your deepest sympathy and support to Canadians of Tamil descent. You seem to be ignorant that there are other Sri Lankans in Canada who also have votes, who are the real victims of the Tamil terrorist war in Sri Lanka which was funded by Tamil Canadians with the help of all political parties, particularly the Liberal party, whose members of Parliament including ministers, helped to fund terrorism in Sri Lanka for thirty years. Your sympathy and support to Canadians of Tamil descent is therefore indicative of your support for terrorist sympathizers. That was a contribution that Tamil Canadians made to Canada, making it a supporter of the most ruthless terrorist group. Tamil terrorists killed thousands with Canadian help. According to you it was a great contribution!<\/p>\n

Please consider these FACTS rather than Tamil terrorist propaganda in Canada.<\/p>\n

The war was by Tamil terrorists against the Government and people of Sri Lanka. The real victims were all Sri Lankans who you seem to have no consideration for in your support of Tamil terrorism just to get Tamil votes in Canada. Your support to Canadian Tamil supporters of terrorism is therefore abhorrent to anyone who does not support international terrorism and all Sri Lankans who were terrorized.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka does not need international investigators, prosecutors and judges. Would you call for international investigators, judges and prosecutors to investigate Canadian issues? How did the Canadian Government react to the death of one person killed by the FLQ?<\/p>\n

The victims of Sri Lanka’s war were Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamils. It is also a fact that the Tamil terrorists, the LTTE, killed Tamils indiscriminately to the end. They also killed Sinhalese and Muslims as they slept, prayed, in their places of work, trains, buses etc. using suicide bombers. The Tamils invented the suicide bomber vest and had special brigades of suicide bombers. They killed the Prime Minister of India, who incidentally was their one time friend and ally to get votes in Tamil Nadu, India, a President of Sri Lanka, ministers of the government and anyone who crossed their path regardless of ethnicity.<\/p>\n

Your statement addressed to Tamil Canadians only, ignoring all others from Sri Lanka is also racist and discriminatory. Before you make these statements merely to get the “Canadian Tamil vote” in Canada, may I suggest that you get more balanced, accurate\u00a0 information rather than Tamil terrorist propaganda and not antagonize non-Tamil Canadians from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka does not need your continued discriminatory support to prolong the suffering caused by Canadian support of Tamil terrorism. May I remind you that it was a Tamil Terrorist<\/strong> War.<\/p>\n

Yours truly,
\nI. de Silva<\/p>\n
