The Chief Minister of the Northern Province Justice C.V.Wigneswaran, together with TNA National List MP M.A.Sumanthiran met the President, on the President’s invitation today afternoon, at 12.30 p.m. at Temple Trees.

The Chief Minister raised several urgent issues which are impediments to the effective functioning of the Northern Provincial Council, namely, the appointment of key officials, the provision of required finances and enabling the Provincial Council to exercise the powers currently devolved under the Constitution and moving beyond to make devolution meaningful.
It was decided at the meeting to take immediate action on several overdue urgent issues to enable the Northern Provincial Council to commence functioning smoothly to address the needs of the war affected people of the North and especially of its war widows, the displaced, the war orphans, the long term PTA detainees, women headed households and other vulnerable sections of the Northern society.

King Rajapassa looks more and more like Michael Corleone in God Father movies.
However, CM Wigneswaran or MP Sumanthiran are unlikely to buy God Father’s rubbish.
God Father has one big problem. Both Wigneswaran and Sumanthiran are men of integrity, intellect and honour. Cannot be corrupted the way he corrupts a typical UNP monkey.
Must be a totally frustrating experience for the God Father.
Cheers!

BenWe know policies are different with respect to different parties and organizations. But the implementation and governance of policies need a culture of civilly honesty and good governance. Mr W party is the only party that seems to have it. So why not all of you gather behind them and give them to establish these attributes. You can make sure that they don’t step into your policy area. With that most of the problems in Sri Lanka would be solved.

Shouldn’t the Sinhalese be sent to the official Gas Chambers??
If India can have a Sheikh as PM from the same party even though their Indira the greatest leader produced so far was gunned down by Sheikhs then what is the problem with Sinhalese in having a Tamil president now??
Then Sinhalese are neither Buddhist or Human but the classic GasGembos FROGS playing Croak-et in their scratchy Amudes- filthy Lycra.

What was the urgency to this meeting? Is that urgency is for President Rajapakse or CM Wigneswaran or those peoples listed in the news item. I thought the government has completed all the urgent needs of those war affected people before CHOGM in November 2013.
I think affected people or Wigneswaran can wait until March 2014. CM Wigneswaran should be transparent about the specifics of the outcome of the meeting. The urgent need for the Northern society is removal of Sinhala forces from the North East, replace the military governor, and granting the police and land powers to the NPC.

Christian Bible has been revised several times. The Jewish Bible has been revised several times. Not the Koran, though. They still live in the Seventh Century. ‘Kill homosexuals, cut the clitoris off women, put women in dark clothing, cut off anyone’s head who doesn’t agree with you.’ What kind of religion is this ?…I can read chapter and verse. I can see what it says in their book of hate. It says that if you see a stranger who is not a Muslim, either convert him or kill him. Page after page after page is about…a religion that teaches convert or kill, a religion that says oppress women, kill homosexuals, kill the Jew, kill the Christian, kill the infidel, page after page after page and we’re supposed to sit here and listen to this rubbish about a religion of peace .

Thanks Mr President and Thanks Mr Wigneswaran for this gesture. This is the only way forward for all of us. We have exited together as a proud country for several centuries. I am sure we can continue doing this if we all acknowledge the fact that Sri Lanka is the traditional homeland of all its people. In the very brief period we are here, there is really no purpose in arguing as to who is the ‘native’ and who is the ‘new-comer’. We have been and always will be in it together….in good and in bad.
Wish you both and all your people a very happy and prosperous new year.

Dr Mahesan,
Thanks for your positive note
But we Sinhalese are doing very well since independent to continue to eradicate the Tamils in their home land because of some educated people like you. This goes back for many years. Shaking hands with our leaders. Our leaders and we the Sihalese people are very clear in our mission. Our leaders will not come to power unless they talk about Tamil minority or LTTE. There were many Tamil leaders – educated lawyers- to shake hand with our leaders and eventually would be the traitors for Tamil people. Unfortunately uneducated rebels and the poor Tamil people did felt the fate for them, If I say in simple language -defending them against the clear mission – genocide by our successive government. This would be impossible without people like you and the Tamil leaders in the past. well Educated enough to help us
wish you good luck and encourage people to shake hand with us. We do not want to see any more people who would really feel for tamil and would fight for them. We need people to shake hands with us not only educated but also like Karuna, Murali and so on
Again thank you for your comment and coming forward to cheat the Tamils in the name of think tank
/
Javi / January 3, 2014
Shake Hands!!!
You just displayed your animal instincts nothing more nothing less.
That is why we in Asia don’t shake hands but wriggle our own.
No doubt you cannot expect any better from a school teachers son who would undoubtedly be academic than realistic.
But you cannot write off his comment like that.
As much as this Statement from NDP MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan on her stay in Sri Lanka:
My experiences since arriving in Sri Lanka are a reminder that defending principles of human rights is not easy, but I continue to believe that it is only through open dialogue and freedom of expression that people can ultimately achieve healing and reconciliation.

To me Sinhalese are Bihari Bandits who trekked across to Bengal and ferried themselves to Lanka the Ravana land. Even the Bengalis who think that they are close to Bihari in understand can never assure others that the vote belongs to them under even cross voting, there you go the Sinhala straits. Aryasinhas are names from Bihar not Bengal- what more do you need. It’s the desperate ones who hid at Hanuman land Andaman the malaria infected land and perished like the western’s like the Danes.etc.

“This is the only way forward for all of us”.
Dr.MN,I totally agree with your above statement.Tamils did have problem and still they do have problems.The problems can be solved only through negotiations. To win over our rights we should build confidence among Sinhalese and Muslims.There is no point in talking about the past horrible unwanted incidents.Hatred and fiery speeches could bring votes to the politicians,but it wont bring peace and harmony.
I had high regards for Wigneswaran and Sumanthiran.They were based in Colombo and their thinking is different from Sampanthans who do their politics propagating communalism and hatred.In an interview to a Tamil daily W said that he was not going to follow the “boycotting” politics of the Tamil leaders.Problems W is facing is with Mahinda.So,to solve the problem,W has to talk with M.
When our people were being killed,the IC was simply watching us.Did they take any measures to stop the war and save the innocent lives?

The Sinhalese believe they are Bengali in origin. The elections on the 5th would be with out witnesses approved by MR as Chair of Commonwealth.
RM has already won the next election and Kenya is as corrupt as B.Desh.
According to a survey, only 30% of Bangladeshis want the generals to take over and remarkably, in case of a free and fair election, only one-third would want the two “battling ladies” barred from politics. Badly as they serve their country, it cannot seem to do without them. There is dire need for a strong third political force representing the middle class but a need not so vehemently felt by the masses yet.
Bangladesh is a country of over 150 million inhabitants and it deserves a dynamic political system to keep up with the global trends. The economic condition of the country has improved to some extent during the last decade, certainly thanks to extremely cheap labour who earn as low as 40 US dollars per month. But the prevailing political unrest has forced the foreign investors to revisit their proposed plans for investment in the country and reversed the exodus of Pakistani investors who were flocking to Bangladesh because of the deteriorating security situation and exorbitant cost of production coupled with profuse power outages back home.
“There is no radical change visible on the horizon for Bangladesh but the current dictatorial style of governance will do only harm as long as it continue. The common man of Bangladesh will have to follow into the footsteps of Pakistan and India to support a new political force strong enough to make the two rival ladies especially Sheikh Haseena Wajid rethink her strategy to rule by crushing the opposition forces and silencing the critical voices. But that is just a future dream.”
Any positive action in SL would be by NaMo provided a sector of the Tamils don’t try to bite his hand in their infighting for power eg internecine wars. Thank our stars MarathaE are soft spoken and it wont be in the Persian orbit and above all Gujarat gave Parses the refuge.

There are three doughty formidable ladies in India’s Bengal region,Sheik Hassina,Khaleda,and Mammatha Bannerjee,all of whom who wear sarees, speak the same Begali language and for all of whom Rabindranath Tagore is the Big Daddy and the cultural icon.
But religious opium for Bengal has unfortunately divided it into West Bangal & Bangaladesh all because the people who populate the former happen to be Hindus.
Would the said ladies set an example to the Bengali men to unite in order to improve the lot of the masses in their country to escape the economic thralldom they are destined to suffer all because of their foolish believe systems?
I say this because it is the men who set the pace when it comes to religion.
They think GOD is a man.
This is where the Buddha’s message becomes valid.
But when it comes to Sri Lanka the validity of that message is Lost.

Theirs is none other than Subash Chandra Bose who finally hid at Andaman (hanuman) When you visit that place with special permission you would realise that you and the sinhalese are kallathoines.

It was divided by the winners of WW2 the sleeping Giant , based on the History and Culture of the continent and sub continent and the russian onslaught of the Germans that was going on- so that the west can get Russia which has never been conquered except by the Mongols for 400 years.

This is not a confusion of homeland belongs to whom, instead it is which nationality should follow by the Sri lankans. TNA and racists Tamils dont believe that Sinhalese civilization dominant & prominent through out the centuries on this land to date..They are still believe that power
they lost after the Independence should gain through international pressure mounting SL government if rebellions were unsuccessfully. 1st attempt rebellion was defeated and impossible for another two or three centuries to start another . TNA MPs doesn’t have patience as majority of them are very old and they want to see a result without delay (before they die )

When Governor Chandrasiri addressed election meetings – which no other governor did – the President should have told him to desist.
This was not done as UPFA thought that it will win the election,just as the President too beleived.
Now the President ignores the army rule in the north,and talks shop as if TNA are idiots.
The recent abduction of the son of a tamil activist in the north,and disappearance of Lalith and Kugan, activists of the Socialst Equity Party a few months ago do not seem to bother the President despite reports that they are being held incommunicado in the Police Welfare building in pettah.

Ajit, you are wrong. What you have listed are not the priority areas for the people living in the affected areas. The priorities are the right to live in peace and the constitutional guarantees that they will enable them to maintain, protect and promote their language & cultural identity as co-owners of that beautiful country. The rest is meaningless rhetoric. The path chosen by Mr Wigneswaran and Sumanthiran is the only way to achieve this goal. I hope we can all support them in their task.

Ajith / January 3, 2014
Dear Prof Mahesh Nirmalan,
I don’t understand what part of my statement is wrong. They are the necessities to the priorities you are mentioned.
The main problem for the peace in the war affected areas are the presence of Sinhala military, their interference in people’s day to day life, security threat and land grabbing. So, the removal of the military is the urgent priority.
It is good if the meeting with Rajapakse produces specific program of actions to remove the barriers of NPC and lead to resolve the national question through proper devolution with constitutional guarantee. However, TNA should not fall into the delaying tactics in order to cheat 2004 March Human Rights Council meeting.
What was the urgency to this meeting? Is that urgency is for President Rajapakse or CM Wigneswaran or those peoples listed in the news item. I thought the government has completed all the urgent needs of those war affected people before CHOGM in November 2013. I think affected people or Wigneswaran can wait until March 2014. CM Wigneswaran should be transparent about the specifics of the outcome of the meeting. The urgent need for the Northern society is removal of Sinhala forces from the North East, replace the military governor, and granting the police and land powers to the NPC.

R. Varathan / January 2, 2014
Even if the sudden meeting between the President and NCP/CM Wigneswaren
is calculated by the regime only to appease the oncoming UNHRC meeting in Geneva, we should still welcome it. Secy/Treasury PBJ attending is also a good sign which can mean considerations of financial support to the NPC is under way – for the same reason i.e. to cushion matters in Geneva. Sampanthan choosing to be absent in the meeting may be by design.
At last if the North is allowed to genuinely bloom and people there made to feel part of the country, this will be the finest gain to the entire country in a long time. As the Tamil people have seen this Uthuru Wasanthaya, that eventually delivered little, was a further exercise in a long trail of deceptions by this regime. But the biggest trap in the meeting will be that where the President offers the moon and forces the TNA to agree to attend the PSC. Wiggy and the TNA are far too adroit not to be beguiled by this Greek gift.

Recently Minister Vasudeva Nanayakaaran (relative of Wigneswaran)made a statement saying that CM Wigneswaran is prepared to work along with the Government but Sampanthan is the barrier. I suspect that this meeting must have organized by Vasudeva in order to create split among Tamils. Tamils should cautious about this move because it is well established fact that Rajapakse has a clear record of splitting his opponents.

From the articles that Sumanthiran artculated sofar, I have no doubt, he may have focused on all the issues within the short time provided to them.
Anyway, I wonder how can a leader be LIKE a NALUWA (holly or bolly wood actor) each time when meeting tamil representatives as he has fulfilled his part sofar to the core. This is the typical hypocratic manner of MR. That is unique to him. Unlike European leaders, he would not come to the point when discussions are called. He just beats around the bush. I am sure, Sumanthiran will bring all thes summarised issue to us soon.
As I myself noticed not just once several times sofar, even with UNP opposition leader and the others, MR exchanges jokes … and seem to be getting on as no others on the planet earth would have the talent to do so. … how can a man being in that position, neglecting many key promises made to the nation and ICs react in this way ? Most of all totally forgetting the abolishing of EP. Any other regional leadrs like Indian PM would NEVER act in this way – but he addresses the issues adequately and seirously.

Javi / January 3, 2014
“|”Unlike European leaders, he would not come to the point when discussions are called.”|”
You are mistaken. RM polished confidence by observing the workings of 2 international war criminals Blair and Bush. so he also repeats them like “”Hitler: The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.””
Run up to the war on Iraq Jose Maria Aznar was president EU and both needed his approval. Academic Aznar was coaxed with two gifts. 1 Blair promised the return of the rock Gibraltar to Spain. 2. Bush promised to make Aznar the Marshall of Texas (Spanish name and nostalgia). As soon as he said yes to the war bush asked France to show its cards (you must understand European History where the Roman Emperor Carlos 1 had to get the assistance of Henry V111 always to defeat the Ottoman,s who never kept a truce and joined with France to wage war once again)
French were beyond belief as they had none. B & B immediately went to war forgetting they ever promised the academic and the folk of Madrid were bombed 200 dead in the renfe.
Europeans do keep a promise when it comes to payment because they plan business but otherwise we have to be smart and see ahead.

Mr Sambandan was part and parcel of the LTTE.
He didn’t care about the Northern inhabitants’ development. or their standard of living , education or anything else for thirty years.
Even after the demise of his God son. Sambandan only came to dusscussions to ask for Elaam on behalf of the Diaspora.
These two on the otherhand do not carry any LTTE baggage.
CM now has the responsibility to continue, enhance and expedite the current development of the North and its permenant inhabitants.
Sumanthiran has to culivate his credentials to lead the party in to the future with a team of talented and untainted fellow Tamils and jettison the other terrorist associates like Sira and Prema, if the new TNA wants the Lankan Tamils to live peacefully as equals with the others without seggregation and separation.
It is the 2 Million inhabitants, most of whom don’t have the money or the connection to settle overseas which is the responsibity of these two leaders. not the ones who have moved out and are living comfortable lives with their children.

Tamil People are part and partial of LTTE because they commtited for liberation of Tamils from Sinhala oppressors. CM is not elected under Rajapakse. CM was elected to represent Tamils on behalf of TNA and he is not play the role of Karuna for something.

Tamils and LTTE not same. In 2005 Tamils wanted Ranil to win. LTTE helped Mahinda win (after taking bribe). So, LTTE terrorists not same as Tamil people who wanted peace.
/
R. Varathan / January 3, 2014
Jeevar – The Sinhala political leadership and the Buddhist Mahanayakas know that very well. But they find, in presenting the distorted picture to the gullible and highly prejudiced Sinhala masses, that all Tamils are tigers they gain tremendous political advantage to capture and retain power. Remember that deranged lawyer SLG “all Tigers are Tamils and therefore all Tamils are Tigers” – a favourite refrain of his old party, the JHU. Sinhalese sadly do not have that intelligence to deny this argument by pointing out Tigers were only a fraction of the entire Tamil population. But that will not do. It is the ground reality of “dog biting man is not news. But man biting dog – is” That is the factor that has taken this country down the drain – from which there is no foreseeable return. How long can they blame the Tamils for all their ills?

The Sinhalese who are one and the same don’t think like what you say but do call even Europeans who voice concern as LTTE Rump. Therefore neither of you are separate- one has to be realistic not academic to have a win win situation.
Are you planning internecine war that has always led to your problems more than the problem itself???

Ajith / January 3, 2014
Jeevar,
I don’t know about the bribe paid to LTTE by Mahinda. IF that is true, it is up to the courts to decide to whether Mahinda should face a charge for breaching the law.
For Tamils, Ranil and Mahinda are the same. Tamil people accepted LTTE as their representatives in the fight against Sinhala oppression. There is no question that Tamils want peace and dignity with equal rights. It is not LTTE who brought Sinhala only and killed hundreds of innocent Tamils in 1958, 1962, 1972, 1977 and 1983.
/
Uthungan / January 4, 2014
Ajit
Your are right when you say for the the Tamils both Ranil and Mahinda are the same.
But you are not correct when you say all Tamils accepted the LTTE as their representatives.The Tamils knew that the LTTE is also their oppressor.That is why a majority of the Tamils who did not prefer to emigrate lived outside the N&E like in Colombo and in other parts of the island safe amongst the Sinhalese despite many hardships.
On the contrary it was the Sinhalese politicians who oppressed both the Tamis and Sinhalese,and are continuing to do so to date under the guise of looking after the welfare of the Sinhalese.
It is the Sinhalese who do not realize this and that is why the Tamils in the NP gave their support to the TNA, which is trying it’s best with the help of it’s elected CM to normalize the situation in the country by trying to make Mahinda understand the need for the withdrawal of the army and the armed governor, and have a civilian administrator appointed as governor in the North.

No wonder they are stateless damned fools.

Talk the talk, but also walk the walk. Talks come easy and cheap. We have had plenty of them. It is time the walk starts on the political and social front . It also takes two hands to clap. Both sides engaged in this and other talks, should always remember this. It is also important that both hands of each side are seen by the other! The clasped hands that symbolise the Sinhala ( Ayobowan) and Tamil ( Vanakkam) represent the concept of reconciliation of opposites ( the right and left hands being the clean and duty hands) and showing that both hands hold no weapons that can be a threat to one or the other party!

Trust building is a two way process. The Sinhalese and Tamil people have inhabited Sri Lanka for about two thousand years with relative peace. They have a common root and a cultural heritage of great merit. All communities can immensely be proud of their collective achievements before the colonial era began.
Politicians of any hue cannot dance to the whims of foreign governments and be manipulated by them; after all Sri Lankans have first hand experience of trusting foreigners.. Foreign governments and their agencies have only very detached geopolitical objectives and the diaspora is one of the levers they will use.
All communities have made mistakes, mostly based on emotion and insecurity over the decades since independence. The prize paid is gruesome and it will take years of dedication and patience to be ourselves again. Good part of the blame has to be with those who occupied the driving seat. It is time to look forward and be optimistic.
However difficult it may be building trust between the communities who live in the island of Sri Lanka, can only be the route to usher peace and prosperity to all Sri Lankan.
Talking to President Mahinda Rajapaksha is a more practical – a step in the right direction to ushering peace in Sri Lanka.
It may be a good idea to visit the Mahanayakas of the Malwatta and Asgiriya chapters too.

That is where you play into the story of 2500 years and Bestiality.
If not for Camroon barging into Jaffna they wouldn’t be this meeting.
To think outside the amma nathan tatha politics and voting for the dead at the end like Bangladesh you will need India to put its foot down.
Come equinox India will have the leader to drive a boot up gotas khyber pass because it would be out of the Persian orbit.

Sane counsel from Dr. N. Satchi – a voice of moderation
who wishes to see the restoration of the Status Quo of the pre-1950s.
Most Tamils will agree, even at this late hour. The Mahanayakas openly being involved in an effort to search for peace is a good idea. A visit from the TNA to Kandy and a visit by the Mahanayakas to Jaffna will have great therapatic value to soothe deep wounds at both ends.

India has not been able to achieve it with any of the crusaders and Buddhism is conversion too except Tibetans are choosy.
You plan to take JT’s into the Guinness book of records- great expectations.
Go join BBS you would go to heaven faster like Douglas or Karuna etc.
