JVP also carried out assassinations and the LTTE flag was hoisted\nfor the murders. During Premadasa\u2019s period the <strong><em>Black Cats<\/em><\/strong>\u201d\nwere used to assassinate significant number of JVP cadre in the South. RP was\ndetermined to clean JVP to none in the cadre. Has JVP forgotten these murders?\nWhy do they bond with the West\/UNP and pose a threat to democracy by contesting\nthe presidential election? This has been the practice in SL dividing the votes\nto achieve their objectives. This is dirty politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, MK Sivajilingham (MKS) is contesting the presidential\nelection. Anyone in the world knows that MKS cannot win the election and become\nthe president by getting the two million Tamil votes. So, how have they thought\nand what does the TNA doing? TNA campaign is utter foolishness. If the two\nmillion Tamils cast their votes to MKS only then, maybe they can show their\nsolidarity to the world that they are together. If they do not cast their votes\nto MKS then again it will be an utter failure. How do they propose to project\ntheir solidarity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eelam is out of the question. Missing persons are out of the\nquestion. Who was at fault? Who are the missing persons? If the youngsters\njoined the LTTE cadre, their parents should have protested to their children,\nwhich they did not do. Everyone knows that Tamil boys, even in Ukraine, have\nchanged their names and no one can track them. <strong>Ethnic cleansing<\/strong>? Did the\nmilitary fight the public? NO! The SriLankan military, with honour, fought the\nLTTE terrorist group to protect the nation. In the muddle, if civilians were present, the military cannot\ntarget people or differentiate between the LTTE and civilians. Tamils should\nrealize this slipup. Going on with Ethnic cleansing\u201d is driving the world to\npresume that Tamils are a kind of psychiatric\/insane people. <em>Why does TNA\nalways support the UNP<\/em>? Because ethnically they have closely the same DNA.\nPeople in the South also have the same DNA. Most Tamils may not understand what\nDNA means. <strong>DNA<\/strong>, which means&nbsp;<strong>deoxyribonucleic acid<\/strong>, is the&nbsp;molecule&nbsp;that contains the&nbsp;genetic&nbsp;code of&nbsp;organisms. Quote: <em>E<\/em><em>very cell in a multicellular\norganism possesses the full set of DNAs required for that organism.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Tamils seem to live in the Jungle\nwith a mindset of Eelam and Hinduism. They should have an open mind. They\ncannot expect MA Sumanthiran to bring their missing children back into SL. It\nis their children who have to come out from hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TNA should revive their policy and have\nan open mind\/thought and ask their people to vote for the right candidate who\nwill develop the North and provide congruence so that the Tamils can live\nprotected and synchronised. This can be achieved only if Gotabaya is elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the guarantee that the UNP will\nnot avenge the murder of Ranasinghe Premadasa (RP)? Already there may be plans to avenge\nthe murder of RP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamils are aware that Mahinda Rajapaksa\njoined hands with GR made people live in coherence and today Jaffna is a rich\ndistrict with people having three scooters\/motorbikes in every house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VOTERS, LET US THINK AND USE OUR BRAIN &amp;\nNOT DRIFTED BY THE TNA AND TAMIL DIASPORA<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanthar Balanathan, Australia Sri Lankans are aware that late president Ranasinghe Premadasa (RP) and 17 others were assassinated by LTTE on May 1, Saturday, 1993.
