Mullivaikkal \u00a0death of terrorists remembrance events in the North and East\u00a0 commenced with lighting of lamps in Chemmani, Mirisuvil in Jaffna and\u00a0 Uyilankulam in \u00a0Mannar, last Friday. The commerations will continue for one week.<\/p>\n

It was reported, The commemorations were attended by former Jaffna University Vice Chancellor, Prof. S. Mohanadas, Provincial Councillors, local government and civil society representatives. The commemorative events will take place across the North and East in the run up to 18 May.\u201d<\/p>\n

While all that is happening in the North, in the South the President Sirisena\u2019s and Prime Minister Ranil\u2019s government Spokesman\u00a0 Rajitha Senarathna says that there is nothing to celebrate in the South and those who died in the military operations against the terrorism were all our\u201d children. If there is going to be a commemoration \u00a0in the south he said then\u00a0 we have to commemorate both the death of Mr.Prabhakarana and Mr. Rohana Wijeweera.<\/p>\n

The Government Spokesman as well as its leadership seems to have gone mad\u201d, power some times is insupportable by weak minds. Rajitha Senaratne admits that what he says as the Government Spokesman\u00a0 is the information he\u00a0 gets from the Secretary to the Cabinet. The Yahapalanaya Cabinet is then made up of mad people with slave mentalities.<\/p>\n

The JVP insurrection was a rebellion of the youth to change the government to set up a Marxist Government. It was not an attempt to divide the country and set up a separate territorial Government which was the aim of the Tamil terrorists.\u00a0 The ruthless terrorist Prabhakaran terrorised not only the Sinhala of the South, \u00a0but also the Tamils of the North and East.<\/p>\n

The Tamil politicians running after a mirage of a Tamil Eelam do not seem to \u00a0regrets terrorism as it was not they who suffered but the poor Tamils. \u00a0\u00a0At least three hundred thousand of them driven from place to place by the terrorists keeping them as human shields without proper food to eat, without enough clothes to wear, and enough water to wash themselves suffered immensely under terrorism. But their voice is not heard over the braying of the Tamil political madmen\u00a0 of the TNA and those of the Tamil diaspora who lived in utter comfort when the poor Tamils civilians suffered under Tamil terror.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka now without the terrorists our brave soldiers vanquished, and completely\u00a0 eliminated on the 19th<\/sup> May,2009, is a free and a peaceful country without fear of death and terror. If we do not continue to make this day a day to celebrate the end of the suffering under terroris of all the people of this country, without distinction of race, and religion we will be ungrateful to the 30000 soldiers who gave their lives and others \u00a0who gave their \u00a0blood and limbs. We would then be an ungrateful people unworthy of \u00a0calling ourselves human beings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No country would like to be divided and its innocent people kept in bondage by a misled set of terrorists be they its own children or kith or kin, as a terrorist is a terrorist what ever link they may have to the nation of people terrorised by them. The terror has to be despised, terror has to be avoided and terror has to be stopped. That is what our heroic soldiers undertook to do knowing the prize they have to pay. They did it for us to live in peace\u00a0 and security today, and therefore there should be no commemoration of terrorism on the 29th<\/sup> May, but celebration of its elimination.<\/p>\n

It should be celebrated every year\u00a0 because we know how it was under terrorism when we lived every day in fear, not knowing when our lives may end in a terrorist\u00a0 bomb blast, a snipers bullet,\u00a0 or the burst of a grenade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The foolish Yahapalanaya government\u00a0 of Sirisena and Ranil, which a misled people elected to power forgetting the elimination of a 30 years of suffering under terrorism by\u00a0 the President Mahinda Rajapakse,\u00a0 has become today a servile government living in fear of retribution in some way or another by the Tamil politicians, the Tamil diaspora\u00a0 and their supportive West if the 29th<\/sup> May is made a date to celebrate the end of terrorism.<\/p>\n

Therefore, they have allowed the traitors of\u00a0 Sri Lanka the Tamil politicians of the North and East to Commemorate the dead terrorists while forbidding the people in the South to celebrate the greatest day in the history of Sri Lanka, where their children paid with their lives to end terrorism, fear of death and insecurity that came with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the Northern Privincial Council\u00a0 led by Ananthi Sasitharan , and \u00a0Jayasegaram have passed a resolution to \u00a0hold remembrance events on the 18th<\/sup> May,2018, as they had done for the past three years for those terrorists who were killed, the Yahapalanaya down plays the role of our heroic soldiers who eliminated terrorism as no other country in the world has been able to do.<\/p>\n

Sirisena Ranil Yahapalanaya has for the purpose of reconciliation with Tamils which\u00a0 they are forced to do by the West, has bowed to those requirements and there would therefore be no Celebrations of the elimination of terrorism \u00a0on the 19th<\/sup> May this year.<\/p>\n

The reconciliation the Yahapalanay government is carrying out has not provided any benefits in return . The Tamil politicians both Local and foreign\u00a0 continue their anti Sinhala activities\u00a0 with out paying any attention to reconciliation, and the foreign countries the President Sirsena endlessly visits do not come to invest in any projects in Sri Lanka.\u00a0 The whole reconciliation effort of the Sirisena Ranil Yahapalanaya has become a joke\u201d, but a sad one, as the loosers are the Sinhala Buddhists<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest attempt it appears\u00a0 the Sirisena Ranil Yahapalanya is doing to please the west to show their seriousness in reconciliation \u00a0with the Tamils, is \u00a0rewriting\u00a0 the history books for schools removing the importance of King Dutugamunu in the history of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

It is time that we should now make the people aware by manifestations, meetings, distribution of printed pamphlerts, about the damage the Yahapalanaya Government of the President Sirisena\u00a0 is doing to Sri Lanka, retrograding\u00a0 Sri Lankan Armed Forces and making Sri Lanka a petty subject state of the west, allowing the\u00a0 Tamil politicians to dictate terms of its conduct. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sirisena Ranil Yahapalanaya Government has no right to continue to rule the country as the people have already rejected it.<\/p>\n

The people should not allow the Ranil Sirisena Governments, which is no more a Government of the people, from Celebrating the 19th May as the day of Victory-the day its heroic Armed Forces brought victory over a ruthless terrorism and brought back peace and security to Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
