However it needs to be said that it could well be an expression of her own sentiments where she has no right to such, as it portrays her as an LTTE sympathiser where her puerile dogma is plainly visible and\u00a0 should never be tolerated remembering the attrocities of the LTTE.<\/p>\n<p>She also saysNow we remember how we lived before May 18, 2009. In the present conditions our main intention is to bring back the LTTE If we want to live, if we want to walk freely, if we need our children to attend schools and return back.,\u201d which has a touch of ingratitude to it considering how well the Tamils of Sri Lanka are treated today and perhaps a misinterpretation on her part\u00a0 where she takes kindness for weakness.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that a 6-year-old child had been raped and killed and now people feel why they appointed the present President into power.&#8221; a whole collection of worthless\u00a0 albeit typical\u00a0 LTTE jargon without a semblance of related truth to it beyond speculation and innuendo where the perpetrators of such attrocities could well be LTTE supporters.<\/p>\n<p>She said that they ( presumably the Tamils) had committed a lot to appoint the President ( food for thought indeed ! ! ) and despite not protecting the people, he is working to protect party matters.<\/p>\n<p>She also questioned the development carried out in the last three years in the North and East. We do not know what development they have done in our area. But I only thank the Government for one good thing and that is to release and return our lands to us. Other than that the Government had done nothing to us,\u201d she\u00a0 has said quite blatantly disregarding the full compliment of grants and considerations which have been extended to the Tamils as an accepted\u00a0 part of Sri Lanka&#8217;s infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>She also said &#8221; being a minister in the present administration there is a limit that she can speak against their leader but had to cross the limit on some occasions&#8221; probably without realising that she has already commited herself to an indictable offence violating the laws of the land and more than crossing the limit to openly support and call for the recussitation of the LTTE.<\/p>\n<p>While it has been known for some time now that there are sources like the TNA and some underground covert operations attempting to revitalize the extinct LTTE, which hopefully they will fail miserably the Government has a responsibility towards the people of Sri Lanka that this debacle will be prevented as the Nation undergoes\u00a0 development of a phenomenal scale and\u00a0 rapid growth which needs to be recognized by all her citizens regardless of someone in the manner of an errant dog barking at the moon which is what the rhetoric of Vijayakala Maheswaran is tantamount to and it could cost her dearly ! !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lankaweb Weekly Editorial July 2nd 2018 State Minister of Child Affairs Vijayakala Maheswaran \u00a0has had the audacity make a public statement to the effect that &#8220;the LTTE needs to be revived &#8216; which is a mind boggling suggestion by her that is not only treasonous but also a violation which points to a suggested breach [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-editorial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78964\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
