Quoting from The Island newspaper,\u00a0 Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara, addressing the weekly Cabinet Press Briefing, at the Information Department, said that finding solutions to the problems faced by the Tamils did not mean dismembering the country into pieces or combining the Northern and Eastern Provincial Councils into one, as demanded by some Tamil parties.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then he went on to ask\u00a0 “Let me ask you\u2019ll a question. The Tamils fought for autonomy for nearly 30 years. If you now tell them that devolution even within a united Sri Lanka is not possible, then you cannot rule out the possibility of another conflict.<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n

The main problem with this type of foolish arguments which purposely avoid specifying the so called \u2018problems faced by the Tamils\u2019<\/strong> is they tend to covert the baseless discrimination allegation to a FACT. After many years of repetition more people will simply quote it assuming it is a true allegation which was proven long time ago.<\/p>\n

Then he went on to ask the most foolish question shamelessly. It proves how unintelligent and uneducated our ministers are.<\/p>\n

If Tamils demanded a fair \u2018autonomy\u2019 why did the successive governments did not listen to it and gave what they\u00a0 wanted ? Why did the two sides fought a war? How unfair was our successive governments?<\/p>\n

Hitler wanted to liberate Germany from evil Jews (as he claimed) and waged a war. Did the victors took action against Jews to give\u00a0 Germans what they demanded after winning the war ?<\/p>\n

The truth is a war was fought to end terrorism by Tamils, not because they demanded \u2018autonomy\u2019<\/strong>. They did not demand \u2018autonomy\u2019 but a sperate state and started terrorising the country and to kill innocent poor villages and then spreading it to kill indiscriminately abusing their own children and sabotaging the whole country for 30 years. It was Tamil politicians ( most of them were killed by Tamil LTTE) who demanded 50\/50.\u00a0 If the government had given the 50\/50 autonomy they wanted back in 1970\u2019s would they have been silent and shaken hands with ministers to share power?<\/p>\n

These foolish ministers should think before they open stupid mouths.<\/strong> The truth was LTTE ( Tamils) , which is still very much well organised overseas and now in the island as well, will never be satisfied with any sort of autonomy. It is only the Tamil politicians who are asking for a race based \u2018devolution\u2019 under \u2018Orimitta Nadu\u2019 whilst LTTE Tamils are getting re-organised in \u2018Tamil Nadu\u2019 under Viko. When the power is devolved, they will receive more power to evolve again, get things organised again in the North and start with killing of those very foolish Tamil politicians who are now asking for \u2018devolution\u2019. They will get \u2018revolution\u2019 instead and the History will surely be repeated.<\/p>\n

\u2018Orimitta Nadu\u2019 will be the ‘Kolaiyaali Nadu’ in no time with more intensity than ever before.<\/p>\n

Say NO to racial discrimination, racist devolution and autonomy and\u00a0 YES to integration, friendship and compassion to work as single nation to make this country great again ! Whole country is the homeland for everyone, not that part to Tamils and this part to Sinhalese and in the end whole country to foreign powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
