Attn NEWS EDITOR-SBS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.Dear Editor, Your following \u00a0news item re above -link is given- is completely baseless and overturns the code of conduct by fabrication and allowing only one side to voice as its opinion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.sbs.com.au\/news\/the-sri-lankan-election-is-creating-fear-among-australia-s-tamil-communityI\n
\n<\/a>I must\nstate the FACTS first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Except for Tamil Tiger terrorists and their fellow travelers and some NGO spokesmen who are following closely the terrorist’s dictates no accepted source have directed any charges or proved any charge against Mr. Gotabaya R about the violation of HR or recommitting of war crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 What\nthe biased sources have stated,  HAVE NOT BEING PROVED BY ANYONE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 It was under Gotabaya\u2019s as the Defence Secretary that he liberated about 20 million Sri Lankans from the yoke of the \u00a0Tamil Tigers who were waging war with the SL Govt, killing unarmed civilians, exploding bombs in the city centers., freeing the child soldiers who were kept by force by the Tamil Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 If you happen to go through your library you will find\/see that the SL Govt forces under the directive of Gotabaya R \u00a0freed 280,000 unarmed civilians from the Tamil Tigers who kept them by force and they were protected and looked after by the defense forces under Goatabya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 The defense forces further rehabilitated over 50,000 Tamil fighters and ushered speedy economic development program in the Tamil majority areas,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Therefore, the belief that Goatbaya R, if elected will act nullifying the freedom, etc IS WRONG AND IT IS INCORRECT and your sources point of views represents the general tendency of Asylum seekers who will always direct complaints about their country of origin as they want to continue living in Australia as economic refugees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nrequest you to RECTIFY THE ABSURD SITUATION CREATED by the news story and to\nconsult and give publicity views of all sections of Sri Lankans when airing\ncontroversial topics as it is the more ethical and logical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ps. I\nsend herewith the details of Sri Lankan origin Population figures in Australia as\nyou should take this into account when discussing Sri Lanka and we are willing\nto help you if you need contacts <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
