My dear brothers and sisters!
We relate to each other today with the shadow of the corona virus still daunting us.
Today we carry the pain of the brutal genocide that was perpetrated on our people 11 years ago. The fact that justice has still not been found for those affected by the war pains us further. Yet the determination to fight for our rights to find justice envelops us this moment. It is in the background of structural and cultural genocide taking place even today in our traditional homelands that we are remembering the Mullivaikal episode.
We still do not know what happened to the thousands who have disappeared at Mullivaikal on this fateful day in 2009. Our political prisoners still continue to be in incarceration. Successive Governments and Political Parties are trifling with their fates for their petty selfish political ends. Those disabled, those who were former combatants and widows of war are continuing to face immense grief and pain. Our archaeological and cultural symbols are continuing to be destroyed. Acres and acres of our traditional homelands are being expropriated. Obliterating the classical Tamil language which is probably the oldest living language in this world, seems to be high on the agenda of certain sectors.
Yet we seem pathetic and powerless to stop these activities being promoted against us. The reason seems to be centred around the mistakes we made so far in obtaining justice for the genocide that was perpetrated in Mullivaikal.
Some of our politicians have refused to accept the haphazard use of rockets, indiscriminate aerial bombing, the attacking of civilians who entered No fire zones after they were coaxed to enter such zones, attacks on Hospitals, killing of those who surrendered and the wanton killing of thousands of our people brutally, as acts of genocide. They argued that all these were not part of genocide. They had missed the wood for the trees.We helped the Sri Lankan government to get continual postponements in the UN Human Rights’ Council to implement the consensus resolution passed. In fact we stultified ourselves in obtaining justice for our people.
We have failed to learn lessons from the past. Instead we have resorted to “surrender” politics towards the Sinhala powers that be, who have in a planned manner resorted to genocide against our Community. That is why we have not been able to obtain justice for the Mullivaikal genocide. Consequently a reasonable settlement for our political and economic ills have eluded us so far.
Let us not forget justice for the genocide committed in Mullivaikal is absolutely essential if we are to obtain a political settlement with economic, cultural and aesthetic regeneration ensured for our people.
We cannot obtain our political rights nor set up a prosperous future for our people overlooking this nor ignoring it. Therefore we are per force in a situation where our strategies for political and diplomatic agitations must be reconsidered and re-evaluated.
It was our mistakes which have given way to those accused of genocide and crimes against humanity to enter the portals of power today and to rejuvenate Sinhala Buddhist hegemonic viewpoints. We cannot continue to be naïve and apathetic. We need to go beyond mere politics and band together intellectuals and experts, to form into a Committee to study and analyse the incidents of the past, confirm the genocide committed, explore possible steps to ensure International inquiry into the genocide committed, suggest ways and means to bring about a solution to the ethnic question and to ensure that reparatory measures would be taken. This way we could reach significant progress.
I would therefore call upon our brothers and sisters of whatever hue or background to join us beyond the field of politics to set up a Global Tamil Advisory Committee which would advise us all. This Committee must transcend, national, regional, political and other parochial frontiers and consent to sit together to study our case in earnest to ensure a resolution of our political, economic, cultural and aesthetic problems soon.
There is close relationship between Justice and Peace. So the extent to which we try to obtain Justice for the genocide committed, to the same extent the chances and opportunity for our obtaining our political rights would increase.
When we pursue the path to obtain accountability against the genocide committed and crimes against humanity committed in a proper way, it would ipso facto curtail such activities happening in the future and would hold the key to permanent reconciliation and peace. To exempt those who committed criminal activities from undergoing punishment would badly affect the social institutions and infrastructure and would bring mistrust and disrepute against the government. It would prevent permanent peace dawning. The people must feel that justice has been meeted out to those who committed offences against them and that they had been adequately punished for their villainous acts.
This feeling would drive away the frustration, anger and bitterness among those affected and pave the way for reconciliation and peace. It would engender trust among them to seek reconciliation and peace.
If actions are filed against those who committed crimes, those affected and their dear ones would feel their grief and unhappiness so far justified. It would make those affected to get back their self esteem and self respect.
This is how Justice and Peace are interrelated. They augment each other.
But as far as the Tamils are concerned not only has justice been denied to them but acts of genocide do continue unabated to date. These are not accidental nor foolish acts. They are well planned and executed with precision. Their purpose is to erase off the identity and the fact of existence of the Tamils in the Island.
Therefore we need to perforce agitate politically and diplomatically to obtain our rights. By soothing the egos of any governmental personalities we would not obtain any relief.
It is essential that our Sinhalese brethren do come to know as to what happened during the war, how many were killed, how they were killed and so on.
But the Sinhala people have been kept in darkness with regard to what happened in Mullivaikal and the genocide that took place there. Our Sinhala brethren think those who were killed in Mullivaikal were all terrorists. Many Sinhalese refuse to belief that thousands of innocents were wantonly killed.
Our Sinhalese brethren should come to know who created the Tigers and why they decided to carry arms. They should come to know the history of the Tamils of Sri Lanka, the injustice committed to the Tamils from the time of Independence which continues even today.
We need not feel hesitant in educating our brethren with regard to what happened because many of them do not know the truth. Only if we understand what took place would sustainable reconciliation and peace dawn upon us.
This is why I have been consistently asking for International Independent inquiry into what happened in Mullivaikal. The truth must come out. There is no revengeful hidden agenda in this request. The purpose of our get together on this day to remember Mullivaikal is solely to put a stop to the acts of genocide being continued against our people even today and instead usher in a period of peace, reconciliation and prosperity by following the norms and standards internationally laid down to investigate and inquire into what happened. The United Nations and the International Community must understand this fact.
It might be useful to state here as to what Article Two of the UN Convention on Genocide passed in 1948 states –
“Any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy in whole or part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such –
1. Killing members of the group
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or part.
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
The Convention also imposes a general duty on States that are signatories “to prevent and to punish” genocide.
Therefore presently since all efforts to get justice through the UNHRC has failed, since the Sri Lankan government has cheated the UNHRC and ignored its advise, it is necessary for the International Community to take steps to cancel the membership of Sri Lanka from the UN General Assembly in order to hand over Sri Lanka to the International Criminal Court.
We are aware the whole world has been affected by Covid 19 and their attention is turned elsewhere to get free of the Corona Virus. While the Tamil people all over the world would no doubt give their unstinted whole hearted support to combat the Corona Virus, the United Nations and the International Community must come forward to deal with Human Rights’ violations taking place all over the world including the genocide committed against the Tamils in Sri Lanka. There must not be slackness or indifference in this regard.
Let us continue in our Dharmic Path in this holy journey because we are sure Dharma would ensure justice for our people one day or the other. Our struggle for Justice must continue with new strategies. Let us bring together the Tamils all over the world especially the youth into this struggle and ensure a self reliant economy in the North and East of Sri Lanka.
Let us take our decision today on this Commemoration Day to move forward towards self government, self reliance and self sufficiency. I thank every one of you! Nandri! Vanakkam!

Let us say that ‘self-government’ is the answer. What plans do you have to achieve it?

What a waste of a good mind. CVW should be looking at practical solutions for his “brothers and sisters” instead of playing to the gallery. To start with, he could get the diaspora to invest in some meaningful projects in the North.
This sort of provocation only plays into the hands of racist idiots on the other side like Chamuditha Samarawickrama.

Old codger, do not attack Chamuditha, just because Sumanthiran a slimy fellow made a fool of himself and let Tamils down. I am sure Wigneswaran with his forthright views will get the better of Chamuditha. Have you heard how thugs behave. When one thug feels that his opponent is strong, he will either tone down or vanish from the scene. When you see the videos of Chamuditha, he is behaving like a thug. He will never invite anyone for interview, if he feels that he will not be able to over power. Do you think Chamuditha can get away from me. For your information, even without any provocation, Sinhala racists are not going to move an inch from their entrenched position This is common excuse, “Oh we were going to do it, but because of behaviour of some Tamils, we are unable to do it”.

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / May 21, 2020
Old Codger, are you serious when you say “to start with, he could get the diaspora to invest in some meaningful projects in the north”. First of all other than a handful of Tamil diaspora, rest do not have resources to splash about. They are not prepared to throw their hard earned money to be appropriated by the government. We have tried through organisations to start projects, but found obstacles being placed. You cannot do anything without the permission of the central government. When you approach them about starting a project in the north, they will ask you start similar one in the south. When we scrape the barrel to invest in the north, where can we find money to invest in the south. Then you have to bribe Sinhala politicians and officials to get the project moving. In addition you have to bribe the security officials. With all these obstacles one will get fed up. But diaspora are continuing humanitarian work like supporting orphanages, empowering war widows and rehabilitating victims. Recently our association with assistance from other organisations invested over £50,000 to raise the standard of English education in the north.
/
Leonard Jayawardena / May 21, 2020
“When you approach them…, they will ask you to start a similar one in the south.” Can you give an example or two for this? If true, the central government must be crazy, because, unless I am missing something here, any projects carried out for the economic upliftment of the people of the north can only help the central government, not undermine it.
/

Leonard,
There are many things in this country that are not talked about. So I wouldn’t be surprised if what Dr.G says is true. Do you know that there are many areas where minority businesses are not allowed? Places like Kelaniya or Kiribathgoda for example. Even the police do nothing about it. Constitutional equality counts for nothing on the ground. Just like Chatura Alwis saying one thing on camera but something else off camera.

“Does the converse happen in Jaffna to your knowledge?”
I have no idea. Probably it does, but not to the same extent due to the presence of the military. On my last visit, I saw plenty of Muslim shops, and fewer Sinhala establishments. On the other hand, not one Muslim or Tamil shop between Peliyagoda and Thihariya. Check it out.

Trincomalee old market has been completely monoethnicised, most fishing areas been forcibly taken over (armed forces playing a specified key role) by one ethnic group, in the east there is a on going huge competitive land grabbing sports being supported by saffron brigades, ancient and medieval Hindu temple are being increasingly brought under the control of Archaeological Department, temple premises are being used as crematorium by the same saffron brigade, ……………..

Leonard Jayawardena,
Demala (Tamil) racists did ethnic cleansing of Sinhalayo in Yapanaya starting in 1958. First ethnic conflict after Independence was started by racist Demalu (Tamils) in Yapanaya by attacking Sinhalayo. I came to know this first hand from a Sinhala family that lived in Yapanaya. LTTE gave the final touch. When Sinhalayo went to Yapanaya after the defeat of LTTE, Demala (Tamil) thugs chased them away. Even Rajapakshe regime did not come forward to safeguard the interests of Sinhalayo in the name of ‘Sanhindiyawa’. Yapanaya is a no-go area for Sinhala businessmen.
—
Before LTTE occupied Eastern Province businesses in towns in the Eastern Province were owned mostly by Sinhalayo. After LTTE moved to the East, they chased all Sinhala Businessmen. One of my relative had his business in Eravur. He also had a vast track of paddy land. After LTTE was defeated, Muslims grabbed his business premises as well as the paddy lands. Same thing had happened to many Sinhala businessmen. Eravur used to be a town of Sinhala businessmen. Now 100% Muslim.

They are fearful of being resettled around Jaffna which is falling from prying pan to fire. ( You can test this by allocating land around Jaffna to estate Tamils and giving them the voluntary option to accept or decline which I always suggest)
They must be totally confused as to why the Tamils became saviours of UNP from that day onwards. That is the biggest betrayal these innocent victims of UNP sponsored terror had to stomach. If Tamil separatists here accept my plea to choose the option of retaining the right to live anywhere in preference to a separate Homeland they can gracefully return. I sincerely hope and pray that day will come before I die.

I further think it makes sense that appeal of Mr. Wigneswaran is largely meant for the North and Northeastern Tamil population while I recognize that Mr. Wigneswaran did invite all brethren to serve this cause;
“I would therefore call upon our brothers and sisters of whatever hue or background to join us beyond the field of politics to set up a Global Tamil Advisory Committee which would advise us all.”
I am also sure that with respect to Srikrish’s second question “Do they exclusively belong to the Tamil community?”, generally, Mr. Wigneswaran’s brethren is inclusive of all peoples of this country, and perhaps the world over.

Dear Sugath,
Justice CV Wigneswaran actually copied the phrase “Dear Brothers and Sisters” used by Swami Vivekananda in late 19th century to address the participants of inter religious conference held in Chicago, USA.
It is a poor imitation by CVW, whereas Swamiji was not inclusive but addressed all religious communities as dear brothers and sisters including mainly Christian community who were present in large numbers.
It is always better to be honest and sincere in all of one’s dealings
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / May 21, 2020
Srikrish, the words “Yaathum Oore, Yaavarum Kerlir” of Kaniyan Poonkundranar supersedes the words “Brothers and Sisters” of Swami Vivekananda in antiquity, inclusivity and intellectuality. What dishonesty or insincerity is there to say those words, unless you do not know what honesty and sincerity means.
/
SJ / May 21, 2020
Sri
CVW’s thinking is parochial, and his attraction to Modi was not accidental.
There are questions about Vivekananda’s secularism discussed in detail by several authors. He was a product of his time and had a streak of Hindutva arrogance in him.
Vivekananda was a straight person unlike present day Hindutva-wallahs.
*
As for the comment on Tamil secularism citing Kaniyan Puungkunranaar, it makes a rule of an exception.
Sangam literature had very little philosophy in it: The above piece had Jain influence and was not about human brotherhood (and certainly not such global vision), which is incidental to it. The concept of ‘fate’ is emphasized beautifully.
It ends with “We praise not the mighty, and even less do we ridicule the meek.” (approximate translation).

This is an address aimed to diaspora. Now a days diaspora Tamils too includes all demographic divisions. But when the refugees started to leave, only able bodied men and women left. This younger generation of that time is now reaching elder ages. But the perception of them as boys and girls continues. So CV started as Brothers and Sisters. By that CV meant a politically correct equal status. Of cause Vivekananda did not make a political speech to create a feeling of equal status or he didn’t try to be politically correct. There is no Brothers & Sisters in Hindu religion; only Devotees; nothing else (English has only He god, and Masculine and famine gender grammar. Tamil does not have that problem, so Sahotararkale will satisfy both) . There was no Hindu devotee for Vivekananda to address like that in Chicago, then. The word devotee come from the Hinduism’s end stage of Sanyasam; an stage everything surrendered to god. That wording is not suitable for any other religion. So it is a meaningless work to try to connect that with this. CV had that sense when he was calling the diaspora Brothers and Sisters. Some people wants to have included every perceptions of toehrs into things they can understand. This is why one time they included all Tamils as Terrorists.

I am happy that the war ended in May 2009. I wonder if Wigneswaran too is happy. Yes, civilian deaths are regrettable and justice must be done in terms of reparations and what is referred to as transitional justice where the victors take responsibility to develop and nurture the vanquished. I do not believe that the term “genocide” (according to the definition of the UN convention on human rights and rules of engagement, Geneva or Warsaw etc) can be used in the context of what happened in the civil war. I do not think articles such as these, or speeches made to foreign members of a diaspora with content such as in this piece help the advancement of the SL Tamil people in any way.

Lasantha, you are right that the number of deaths of Tamils in Sri Lanka does not qualify for it to be called genocide. Compare with Bangladesh where less than 1000 Rohingyas were killed and less than 750,000 of them expelled, yet the UN has called it genocide. With this yard stick, murder of over 250,000 Tamils since independence and expulsion of over 1.5 million of them (One million Indian Tamils in 1964 and half million Ceylon Tamils during the war), does it not qualify for genocide charge. Since independence it was the policy of successive governments to reduce the number of Tamils to curtail their political power. Look at what government did after the end of war. Instead of settling people displaced locally and in India, first thing they did was to reduce the number of members elected from Jaffna district by three and transfer one to Vanni and two to Amparai to benefit Sinhalese and Muslims. Do you seriously think that if Tamils refrain from making such speeches or writing such articles, it will help in every way in their advancement in Sri Lanka. I will guarantee to you that Sinhalese will never ever allow Tamils to prosper in any field. If they raise their head, measures will be taken politically or physically to put them down.

Idiotic Sivasegaram, that is not what was decided by me, but by UN, which held a genocide inquiry against Burmese government, where the charge actually should have been ethnic cleansing rather than genocide. Also Gambia an insignificant Muslim country took Myanmar to international court on genocide charge. If you apply the same yardstick, what happened in Sri Lanka also amounts to genocide. It is a pity that UN is acting partially, just because it was Muslims who were affected in Myanmar and it was Tamils who were affected in Sri Lanka.

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam,
You cannot exonerate ‘Para’ Demala (Tamil) LTTE barbarians who committed most heinous crimes against Native Sinhalayo by cooking up figures and stories.
==
It was not expulsion but repatriation. During LTTE terrorism, Sinhalayo did not expel Demalu (Tamils). They left to escape from LTTE killing machine. LTTE killed more Demalu (Tamils) than the number that got killed due to military operation.
Actually, Native Sinhalayo made a big blunder by not expelling all the people brought illegally to Sinhale by colonial parasites and their descendants after the country gained Independence as they did in Myanmar and African countries.
—
” With this yard stick, murder of over 250,000 Tamils since independence and expulsion of over 1.5 million of them (One million Indian Tamils in 1964 and half million Ceylon Tamils during the war), does it not qualify for genocide charge.”

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / May 22, 2020
Mahindapala, similarly you cannot exonerate ‘Para’ Sinhala Army barbarians who committed most heinous crimes against Native Dravidians, by cooking up figures and stories. The issue here is that while LTTE members who committed crimes have either been killed in combat or killed after surrendering, Sinhala war criminals are roaming freely, including occupying positions of power. Actually native Dravidians made a big blunder by not expelling all the Bengali criminals who landed illegally and usurped their land, and their descendants after they took over the country under Chola rule, as they did in Myanmar and African countries. There is proof that armed forces killed more non-combatant Tamils deliberately, than those Tamils killed during military operation.

Wigneswaran was a failure because he does not have leadership or organisational skills that are needed to manage a provincial council. He demonstrated leadership skill when he was at Royal (prefect in 1959) and at Law College (last Tamil president of law students union). But once he became a judge, he lost them as there was no opportunity for him to show it. He has no organisational skill, never heading a government department, Business organisation or Social association. However he has wide knowledge, honestly committed and fearlessly espousing atrocities of government and its agents, and will be an asset to Tamils in parliament. The best person for chief minister is Sivagnanam who was municipal commissioner. His name was correctly proposed in 1987 by LTTE for the post of chief minister of merged north-east, but India turned him down to install their puppet.

*** I dont know what your political affliation is so I don’t know if your criticism of Wiggy is based on a partisan basis. Not withstanding that when two Tamils quarrel not based on facts it saddens me.
Your attack on Wiggy is factually incorrect.
1) Wigneswaran was a failure because he does not have leadership or organisational skills that are needed to manage a provincial council.
*** I am sure you will admit there was nothing to LEAD he was a CM with Very limited Power. As a CM he couldn’t even visit army camps in the North whereas Sinakalams from South on a day trip could go and see the Camps.
2) He demonstrated leadership skill when he was at Royal (prefect in 1959) and at Law College (last Tamil president of law students union).
*** There is a Contradiction here. You either have it or you don’t. To show leadership there must be something to lead . You cant lead in a vaccum.
3) But once he became a judge, he lost them as there was no opportunity for him to show it.

*** He has the above in abundance and that is why I admire him. Honesty . Integrity and Commitment and he is the man for all seasons and occasions.
Just consider the following before you come back to me if you want to . Look at Dr.Raghavan the last CM . When he was appointed he said he could hear the heartbeat of the mums who lost sons and daughters. What did he achieve rankly nothing. Gotha turned round and said they are all in “ Paralogam” For me he was fake and total failure . All he ( 50/50 ) did was grant maximum number of Licences to buid Buddhists Vicaras.

4. This shows your ignorance. Even with limited powers you could show your skill. Both Sirisena and Ranil did not have leadership or organizational skill, which was the cause of inactivity during last regime. In contrast Rajapkase brothers have both. I have written articles about leadership and organisational skills, where you could achieve your goals despite adverse conditions. Even Devananda will do better job under these conditions, as he has learnt these skills over the years, occupying ministerial positions.
5. In the election, CVW’s party is unlikely to win, but I hope Tamil voters will give sufficient support for at least they could elect one candidate on proportional representation so that he could go to parliament.
6. Issue of Raghavan – It was Sumanthiran who recommended him to Sirisena saying that he was a practicing Buddhist. Secondly Governor is ceremonial post looking after interest of government in the province and not to run provincial council when it is functioning. So do not complain about what he did. Did you hear that he tried to get into TNA national list, with Sumanthiran’s support, and it was opposition of TNA members that prevented him getting nominated. When he failed, he has approached Rajapakses and is in their national list. He was never elected by Tamils, so he is at liberty to have selfish motives. When CVK Sivagnanam is in the midst why look for others.

I have demonstrated leadership and organisational skills, and therefore I can judge anyone about his skills. Perhaps you have not held leadership position in any organisation of worth or demonstrated your capability to execute matters.
1. Limited power does not preclude anyone to show leadership. Chandrika then as chief minister of western province with same limited power demonstrated it. What has ability to visit army camps got to do with leadership, when it is clear to anyone that army does not come under the purview of chief minister.
2. You are using words which you seem not to know the meaning of, perhaps due to swabasha education in Jaffna. Having the population of northern province and experienced public servants under him is no vacuum. Resources may be limited, but you must be efficient to make the best use of it. Please remember even a poor man can manage a house well, if he has the ability.
3. When one becomes a judge, he is not permitted to run any social or business organisation. It is well known that if you do not practice, you will lose touch. I am sure that you have a reasonable IQ to understand these.

In Sri Lanka the problems the Tamils face are down to not having a Leader who has the Organisational and Leadership Qualities. The State has adequate provisions to deal with Tamil Problems and it is down to a Leader to utilise them.

Klai answer to 4 – You are making statements due to your ignorance and bias. No one will say that Sinhala grievance and Tamil grievance are the same. As far as provincial councils are concerned resources at the disposal of a northern CM and CM of an opposition controlled province is the same. While there may not be any development in northern province, development in opposition controlled province will be done by government to prevent opposition getting the credit. When Chandrika was elected Western chief minister, President was Premadasa and UNP was ruling. Only few years prior to it, that her husband was killed by JVP for supporting India with 13th amendment. Premadasa was himself gunning for her as he thought she may be a formidable enemy against him at the next election. Therefore she worked with constraints worse than that encountered by CVW and demonstrated her skills. For this she was given highest ever victory at the election which Gotabhaya despite racist propaganda could not muster. I have made by observations with sound mind and profound knowledge of Sri Lankan politics, unlike you.

Mullivaikal Remembrance Day: Let Us Take Our Decision Today To Move Forward Towards Self-Government:
*** I am glad you are alive for a moment I thought that Gotha has silenced you. I am sad TNA have not spoken out against Gothas callous disregard for Tamil Rights and Humanity. Cowards die a thousand times but brave men die but once.
Gotha made the following acts and proclamations.
1) He will arrest any one who celebrates Maveerar Day
2) He has no respect for Human Rights.
3) All the missing Tamils are dead.
4) Pardoned a Convicted Killer in defiance of Supreme Court ruling.
5) Promoting a Soldier who was found Guilty by Feltham Magistrates here in the UK.
6) Making Statements that he will not hesitate to pull out from any World Body who criticize Sri Lanka for promoting Convicted Soldiers.
Sri Lanka has been ignored by Civilized Nations and her plea for help has been ignored. Sri Lanka is in Dire Straights and her Credit worthiness is Zero and even IMF and waiting for the Election results before deciding on the request for $1500 million to bail out Sri Lankan Economy. Gothas promise to pay Rs 5000 for millions of families until election day is beggars belief when the Country faces doomsday scenario.

You are not as stupid as I thought you were. Now you are talking . The Tamils who are living in the South are Economic Migrants who moved to the South looking for work because successive governments neglected the North & East deliberatly making it a baron land. But take it from me when North & East are united under the 13th Amendment and power devolved whih is Indias baby the TAMIL DAIASPORA will return with Billions and Billions of money and Delevelop .

“…successive governments neglected the North & East deliberatly making it a baron land.”
The terror war launched to achieve Vadukkdai objective took 30+ years until you decided to halt it temporarily in 2009. Poor project management skills on your part. Even during this project period the only ambition of a Tamil mother was to send her children down to South for safety among the ‘genocidal’ Sinhalese.
.
The main obstacle on the way towards a Homeland is the demographic fact that + 50% Tamils ( all Tamil speaking people scattered across the island irrespective of their religion, caste or the date of arrival) live outside North East. AND THEIR DESIRE TO CONTINUE SO.
.
If TNA is really serious about a ‘solution’ they must carry out an intensive campaign among the Tamils ( all Tamil speaking people scattered across the country irrespective of their religion caste or the date of arrival) presently living outside North East to go back and settle in their ancestral areas.
.
“The Tamil Slaves who want to stay in the South are welcome to stay there or you can deport them over the border.” ( Sampanthan?)
The Sinhalese should NOT trust the Tamils on this issue – their sole desire is to live in the South AND a Homeland in the North ( Political scientists call this Holiday Resort Model). Therefore we insist a PRIOR agreement that all Tamils will be relocated.

I have a Question for all the Gotha Lovers Sinkala Pasquali, Helios , Soma and a few others .
Does it bother any of you that since being elected President by a Racist majority Gotha has not been engaged by any World Leader. Instead he has been ridiculed directly and indirectly by the Civilized World.
1) Directly By the Californian Judge who responding to the appeal by Ahimsa quite categorically stated that Gotha has a case to answer in the Murder of Lasantha and the only thing that is standing in the way is the immunity he currently enjoys as a President. If it happened to me I will shiver. But not Gotha because he knows he s going to die as a President.
2) Indirectly. Gotha was the Commander in Chief when Shavendra carried out all the killings a fact accepted by UN and the US State Department who declared there is credible evidence amounting to War Crimes. But Gotha lovers have declared we are the Judge and Jury.
3) Gotha Pardones a Convicted Killer defying Rule of Law.
If I was a Sinhalese I will be ashamed to have a President who is rejected by the whole World except India who have total control over him

How Gota should feel is upto Gota. I guess he feels immensely proud that he was instrumental in saving the Tamils from a mass murderer.
As far as I am concerned, as I have said earlier:
The day I will feel ashamed to be a Sinhalese is the day my Tamil brothern show any slightest tendency to VOLANTARILY move out and resettle in NE and that day I will actively extend my fullest support to create a separate Homeland for Tamils (All Tamil speaking people scattered across the island irrespective of their religion, caste or the date of arrival).

*** Yes it will be insignificant if you stay as a Private Citizen but not when you enter Public Life to serve a Nation like Gotha . You need to have standards and to mix with World Leaders and Gotha doesn’t . In Sri Lanka justice can be bought for a price. Highest bidder is well served.
2) How Gota should feel is upto Gota. I guess he feels immensely proud that he was instrumental in saving the Tamils from a mass murderer by the Sinhalese MOBS
*** No it is not up to Gotha and he has been side lined on the World Stage . He was never greeted by a World Leader or invited except Modi who summoned him to be read the Geeta.How can he be immensely proud when he is Deemed as a War Criminal by the UN and US state Department and a Court Case pending for Murder in California when he leaves office.

Challenge on your part is to convince a SINGLE Tamil family presently living outside NE to move back into their ancestral areas. Unless you plan and implement a process of correcting the existing haphazard demographic distribution of Tamil speaking people so that at least 90% of them can enjoy the benefits of desired ‘devolution’ the whole projct is ‘dead on arrival’ to use a cliche.

TNA still believes securing a secret solution. The time it spent with Chitana government was gone without Tamils knowing what TNA talked. TNA spent same time with Yahalapanaya. Now TNA is talking with Royal government. Samapanathar Aiya has said he will talk at the correct time with government. Sampanthan Aiya taking with government, but in 2015 election, Yahapalanaya Candidates swore in south that they didn’t have any deals with Tamils & informed southern Sinhala constituents that they will not any deals with to Tamils. That is how UNP government got small majority in September 2015. In November 2019, Contemporary government completely stayed away from Tamil and Muslims to get its surprising victory over the UNP candidate. During LC election, Old King explained to Sinhala Constituents that Federalism is another English word for separation. After seeing the last election result it is absolutely meaningless attempt to negotiate a Sinhala Buddhist government. Sampanthan Aiya made a long speech in Parliament censuring his third grade deed on that election. But the confusion with TNA’s policy is, in its Secret Solution, what is it seeking from government? Let me ask a serious question from TNA, does it honestly believe Weerawansa, Gammanpila, Rambukwella like racists, who create mountain out of mole hole to flare communal tensions will allow any government to easily rename a Federal constitution as Ekka Rajya?
/
Mallaiyuran / May 24, 2020
Is that to give Sampanthan Aiya Ekka Rajya, the Royal family is struggling to conduct the election in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic infection or is that why they are wasting their time in courts? If the answer is yes, what was the hold up of that not materializing from 2010 when he started to negotiated Indian and American sponsorship? Why did Under Secretary Black gave up it want drag Old Royal government to UNHRC? Tamils did not understand if TNA opposed the Internal Self-determination, which is in the Manifesto TNA wrote to CV contest in 2013 September election, why did TNA wrote it? Are they explaining it as only a hasty error in 2013. Sumanthiran who wrote the Manifesto turned out to the biggest competitor of CV even after the court decided that internal self-determination is not separatism. Sumanthiran is hiding the truth to IC that under any name, under any circumstances, not Sinhala Party will go and campaign an election that Tamils are going to get some rights. Only Party deiced to wound down will do grating Ekka Raj for Sumanthiran and Sampanthar Aiya.

We launched under SJV a Gandhian style Ahimsa struggle. It was given up after realizing, Gandhi won that war because he took against Britain, who is the first Democratic country. In Contrast, Lankawe turned into dictatorship only to keep Tamils under Army’s jackboot. In 1961 Sirimavo’s government beat up all Satyagrgist and took them on the Rapist Army jeeps, thrown in faraway ditches. Armed struggle started only after SJV exasperated “Only Good Can Save Tamils”. Armed struggled was not Tamils’ willing section. It was forced into Tamils by Rapist Sinhala Buddhist Army & Sinhala Rowdies who time unleashed pogrom to rape, kill destroys and loot Tamils properties.
Two remarkable facts are outstanding on Tamils’ side:
1). Tamils did not give up their struggle because they lost the armed struggle with such a massive like dissolution of Tamils; and
2). They moved their fight into the third phase diplomatic agitation.
Those two are telling how desperate Tamils are by the loss of their mother land.

Tamils’ case is not about few individual Sinhala Army officers violating the fundamental rights or one or two politicians have passed Sinhala Only or Standardization, or it against Mahinda Rajapaksa or Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s war crimes. Our case is against the Sri Lankan Government, which is the representative of Sinhala Nation, the way it is planning and executing genocide of Tamils for the betterment of Sinhala Nation. This was explained in black and white words by JR during the Black July Radio address. He said if his government has to keep his people happy, he has to put Tamils who were battered by the pogrom more starvation. JR explained that he not the president of Tamils and Tamils were not citizens under his government. That is where one can explain how Don Stephen cheated Soulbury with S 29, or SWRD cheated with Banda-Chelva Pact or Dudley cheated with Dudley-Chelva Pact or JR cheated with Indian-Lanka accord or Ranil Cheated with UNHRC Resolution 30/1 or in last week speech, Lankawe President saying if his Army is bothered by any International Organization with legal actions, he would even leave from UN.
/
Mallaiyuran / May 24, 2020
Our case is against the International Society, which failed to provide Tamils an Internationally available and accepted safe & secured life for the past 70 years from Sinhala government which with its discriminatory laws like Standardization, Sinhala Only for swindle Tamils employment and education opportunities Sinhalese only Defense Sector to impose Emergency, Curfew, PTO and other torture and brutality coercions over Tamil Youngsters and the use of rural rowdies to loot, light and, torture, rape and murder freely over the Tamils & thier properties, lived in South.
Tamils, who were ruled by the North East Monique kings and Vanni Chieftains never, surrendered their sovereignty to any European nation. The main one, the Jaffna Kingdom’s ruler Chankilian fought with Portuguese until he was captured and even in the captured status never signed any treaty with Portuguese. Jaffna Kingdom was taken over by war victories, against Tamil citizens.
In Kotte Dom Juan signed off the Kotte Kingdom to Portuguese and it was eventually taken over by Netherlands and then Britain. There was no objection from Kotte Sinhalese to oppose Portuguese supremacy to rule them. Kandy was different story. Kandy Addikaries who were rebelling against Kandy King successfully sought Britain help, fought against the king in British side and signed off Kandy kingdom to British supremacy. Though, Royal family refused to surrender the power, but Addikaries, who fought against the king on behalf of Britain willingly, signed Kandy accord; there was no coerce.
/
Mallaiyuran / May 24, 2020
North East came under Britain by the agreement between UK & Netherland, which coercively took the title from Portuguese, who in turn took in multiple war victories from Jaffna & Vanni kings and Chieftains. Why I am telling a long story short here is to remind Britain never took the title from Tamils voluntary unlike Kandy accord or Dona Catharina’s Portuguese marriage for Kotte. Basically Tamils refused to hand over their sovereignty to Europeans, noticeably to Britain, while Sinhalese wanted Europeans take over their Kingdoms from their Kings and rule them fairly than their kings. When Britain attached North East to Lankawe, there was no referendum to find out North East people opinion. There was no Tamils representative of North East contributed a signature to Kandyan accord. Later days, when Britain was granting freedom, Britain kept the right to write a constitution for Ceylon with it. Britain implemented in that Don Stephen like Sinhala leaders’ wishes, but ignored Tamils & let them out in decision making process. When Privy Council was called in to arbitrate when Sinhala governments broke the Soulbury Constitution in Indian Pakistani Citizenship Acts and Sinhala Only Act, Privy Council simply ignored Tamils and palm off its responsibility to Sinhala governments.

You buggers are hellbent on securing the east in your dream homeland. If you ever get some sort of power devolution it will be Jaffna Peninsula and may be the northern part of Vanni.

There were temples, dedicated to the Supreme Lord Ishwaran, on all the four sides, of ancient Ceylon. They safeguarded the little island from oceanic bed upheavals, convulsions and other natural disasters that prevailed in the region during the pre-historical eras. They were Thiruketheeshwaram and Muneshwaram Temples in the West, Thondeshwaram in the South, Koneshwaram in the East and Naguleshwaram in the North.
These five celebrated Ishwarams or Pancha Ishwaram Temples were important landmarks of the country and had India’s adoration. The erudite scholar and historian, Dr.Paul E.Pieris declared in 1917, at a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society (Ceylon Branch), that:
“Long before the arrival of Vijaya there was in Lanka five recognised Ishwarams of Shiva which claimed and received adoration of all India. These were Thiruketheeshwaram which was near Mahatittha, Muneshwaram dominating Salawatte and the pearl fishery, Thondeshwaram near Mantota, ThiruKoneshwaram near the great Bay of Kottiyar and Naguleshwaram near Kankesanturai ” .
How each of these five Pancha Ishwaram Temples survived the ravages of time and destruction by foreign invaders, is the subject of narration in the following pages.

Once the freedom war started, International Society stood with Sinhala Governments to massacre Tamils. UN was just sitting and witnessing a war without witness. In 2009 May, UNSG, Indian Government & others tepid dealing with War Criminal government so the UNHRC failed to take any action against government but rather it admired the way the government’s war crimes. Further for last five years, International governments were again without any action on the Resolution 30/1. So last March while they were, sitting and gaping, Lankawe government bravely exited from the accord it signed with UNHRC. Remember, government did not withdraw from their May 2009 Resolution which adored the Rapist Army’s conduct. It was not just for Tamils, but really a shameful incident for IC, whether they would like to agree or oppose Lankawe on that.
So for the last 500 years, successively, Tamils have been reduced to mousey drabs, by Sinhala governments as well as IC. In the third phase of freedom fight, Tamils are demanding justice from International society. This diplomatic agitation is not IC to grant few perks in the Sinhala Government’s Constitution or more chance to jobs. Tamils not looking for one or two criminals arrested by Aanduwa, kept in five star hotels and rented private apartments as prison and later released by a presidential pardon in two or three weeks.

Past eleven years none of the diaspora organization were able to achieve anything thought they read in their meeting long lists, worthless for penny, as their proud achievements. The sad status is none of them capable of understanding that if they had achieved something, at least one benefit would have come to Tamils by now. Some had sent their collected money to back Thayakam. But the economic ambitions to Tamils have to be beyond. It has to build with support of IC so no more looting or burning the Tamils properties; Tamils should be able to plan on their way; not imposed their economic activities by the government, like in a communist county. We saw during pogroms, years of hard works, all over Ceylon were going in smoke in matter of hours. Centuries of collection were burned in hours with the guard of Army in Jaffna Library. So deployment cannot be succeeding unless IC prepared give its assent and offer protection for Tamils’ economy. We need to build numerous cooperative organizations in their communities partly funded by diaspora consumer Co-Ops . International Charities and embassies have to be made get involved, so the destruction Sinhala army does will come out like it happened in Muthur Action Farm. Otherwise it is waste of Diaspora’s saving and poor people’s efforts. The horse must before the cart. All kind of permanent political solutions and Massive developmental activities must be only IC conduct an investigation of the Tails genocide.

Tamils waking up during the Remembrance Day is not going to advance Tamils’ cause
After the war, the worst regressive sitting of UNHRC for Tamils was March 2020. In March 2020, at UNHRC, it was a missed opportunity for Tamils by their leaders. The leaders went there in parties with their private ambitions like development to North East, Referendum to North East, and Political solution to North East from Sinhala Government. They only competed with each other to demonstrate that they were the smartest; but failed to stand together in front of the IC. If the leaders are going to solve Tamils’ problems in Geneva, they will have to go as one; but if they go for an auction in Geneva to buy lot of fame, they will be going in teams to compete with each other. So they completely failed to make IC to take any fruitful decision on that occasion where Lankawe withdraw from the five years agreement. IC very easily fell into the trap of Lankan ministers’ Aappa diplomacy. In the light on March 2020, CV would like understand that breeding of one more donkeys, (i.e another International Tamil organization) is not going to plough the field. CV’s first effort is to bring all the donkeys under one yoke. CV would easily recognize that the adamant one is not the one ready to work for Tamils; the flexible ones will work together like the doves flew away with the hunter’s net in the Panchatantra story.
