The Tamil National Alliance today came out all guns blazing against the Northern Province’s Military Governor G.A. Chandrasiri in Parliament, saying that while he may have expertise in extra-judicial killings, he was certainly no expert on constitutional affairs.
The onslaught by TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran came after Chandrasiri accused the TNA run Northern Provincial Council of violating the constitution for attempting to set up departments of transport and housing, in the lead story of the Daily News yesterday.
M A Sumanthiran
“The Governor, being a military man is an expert in some areas. Under his command there were several extra judicial killings – he may be an expert on that. But he must know to leave matters constitutional to the constitutional experts. And not go around making pronouncements like this and making himself a fool,” Sumanthiran told Parliament in a hard hitting speech earlier today.
Sumanthiran said that under the constitution, the subjects of provincial and inter provincial transport and housing services were subjects listed under the provincial councils. Quoting from the relevant sections, Sumanthiran said the NPC was well within its rights to set up the departments.
“How dare the Governor say that creating departments for these two services is a violation of the constitution?” Sumanthiran charged.
“This is the reason why we want the Governor removed. You must have a civilian who will have some respect for the law. Who will at least read and understand the constitution,” the TNA MP told the House.
Quoting from Article 154 A constitution, Sumanthiran said that intentional violation of the constitution was one of the reasons why the Provincial Council may pass a resolution calling for the removal of the Governor, if he has intentionally violated the constitution. “I hope the NPC will take the necessary steps in this regard,” he said.
According to Sumanthiran, it was the Central Government and its agents, like the Governor of the Northern Province who were violating the constitution. The Government had appointed a new DIG for the North without consulting Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran, even though the constitution clearly stipulates that Provincial DIGs should be appointed by the IGP with the concurrence of the Chief Minister, Sumanthiran said. He added that according to the constitution the Chief Secretary to the Province must also be appointed by the President with the concurrence of the Chief Minister. The current Chief Secretary appointed before the NPC was constituted remains in office despite several letters in this regard from the Cheif Minister to the Presdient they have gone unanswered, Sumanthiran explained.
“Who is violating the constitution? You make a Chief Secretary appointment and you don’t change the appointment when there is a new Chief Minister. The law requires that the Chief Minister’s concurrence must be obtained. You don’t do that. You appoint a DIG now, a few days ago when the Constitution says you have to obtain the concurrence of the Chief Minister,” Sumanthiran charged.
“And you have the gall, you have the brass to accuse the NPC of violating the constitution because they want to appoint departments for transport and housing. As I read out to you both transport and housing are in the pC list. So why can’t they appoint departments?” he said.

How could you expect from the Sinhala Uneducated Crook and thieves Politikkas to understand Sri Lanbka’s constitution. The Alibaba political crooks chased away all the learnad and respectable Citizens away from Sri Lanka. These crooks are now behind importing 250 Kilo Mega Heroin into the country. Also the crooks are behind importing container loads of ethnol to Sri Lanka to make Kasippu. This is how they make Billions of Rupees and illicit commission money. It’s time all the patriots to rise up against these uneducated crooks. Mr.Sumanthiran will be a great popular and an ideal leader, a scholar, a gentleman and a President in Sri Lanka.

“Giving a letter is not qualified to be hanged!”
No the letter does not qualify the writer to be hanged. However it requires a due process of law to enforced.
All along I suspected you being a secret admirer of LTTE’s atrocious activities. By defending and finding parallels with LTTE methods in indirect ways you agree with what LTTE did and the state does. LTTE’s atrocities does not absolve state’s own illegal undemocratic pattern of behaviour.
The state could not stand on its own defending pattern/record of its anti people activities, now you come along and defend it by finding parallel with LTTE.
Good logic keep up your good work.

I could not stop laughing at the hypocrisy of this fool
He was silent like a rat hiding in a corner when Prabha was killing 100’s of thousands of Tamils and murdering their children with forced labor and conscription while sending young girls on suicide missions to kill civilians all over the island.
he was silent like a dog when prabha killed one after another tamils politician who had the guts to stand up against the mono ethnic tribal hegemony of prabhakaran.
then this man runs to Canada rolls over for the LTTE supporters (mind they were the ones who encouraged prabha while they lavished in western facilities), that he would not accept the 13th amendment
then he rolls over again and utters total rubbish
where are you genocidal maniac child killing LTTE terrorist lover? in the parliament, because Sri Lanka’s army liberated the north and east so your people can now contest an election.
He pays homage to terrorist leaders who killed thousands of tamil lives, only to be a parasite so he can stop the development in the north.
No no, you are the mass murderer who with the LTTE are responsible the tamil mess in sri lanka.

Still no setting out the educational qualifications required to any member of local councils, provincial councils, Parliament & the Presidency.

You had a “SUPREMO” who was venerated in line with a GOD.You all considered him as “SUN GOD” and without a single question obeyed all his orders. Was he a “CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERT”?
So why worry about this man who is the Governor of the Northern Provincial Council. With your expert know-how, he can be assisted and I could assure that he will not line up you in a street in Jaffna and put a bullet on your head. This is what your “SUPREMO” did when he administered your “HOMELAND” till 2009. At least be happy with the freedom you have got to speak against this man. If you questioned your then leader then like this, you would have been in a different planet.

“With your exper…….” Then why should the military governor be there, if he has to be taught about the constitution? Just to keep him get his pay? Or to drive the white van? Or to abuse the young widows there? Or to help the thieves and rapist who are roaming the north and east in uniform to carry on their jobs un-interrupted? To give shelter to all those criminals in the army camps?

Gen Chandrasri is not the correct person to hold that position. He’s a war criminal, killer, responsible for murders, kidnappings,abductions, and even rape. He is just unfit,biased, and a racist, just like so many UPFA politicians. A murderous regime can only appoint murderers and corrupt officials in high ranking posts. An unbiased, non racist Governor is the need of the day for NPC to make any meaningful changes. But sadly the GOSL is not at all interested in any kind of reconciliation or well being of the ravaged Norther or Eastern populace. They will just carry on with the only way they know, until the destruction is completed, either way. That may the fate of Lanka for now !
/
Fathima Fukushima / December 15, 2013
War crimes against Tamils is GOOD.
IF (not sure its true) he has done all those things, then he is the MOST SUITABLE to hold the post.

Mass killing, rape, abduction, massacre of TAMILS.
Even the suicide bomber who bombed him was carrying his baby in her Tamil womb!!

Sumanathiran has goofed any chance he had being accepted as a moderate leader by the great majority of the Sinhala people, by this silly personal attack on the ex General.
Chandrasiri has done a great job to keep peace and harmony in the Jaffna peninsula after sheer anarchy, terrorism , extortion, child proscription and ethnic cleansing for three decades.
He has paved the way for inhabitants to get their lives back quickly, facilitated the Economy to grow at a phenomenal 20 % plus for the last four years.
His magnificent administration and care taken to look after 300,000 captives, especially women without husbands is in sharp contrast when compared with what the Armies of the so called HR watchers’ countries did to the inhabitants and survivors after they defeated their enemies.

Who would have thought this time last year that we would have an elected Northern Chamber where the British PM standing on the Balcony with the Northern CM.The PM refusing to meet the War Criminal Chandrasri.
Now Sumanthiran openly accusing the Racist Chadrasri as a War Criminal inside the enemy teritory and all the Morons listening in silence which a year ago would have resulted in Sumanthiran being taken to the 4th Floor and Extra Judicially Killed.
This time next year we would have the following.
1) North & East will be reunited.
2) Sinhala Army would be ordered out.
3) Appointment of a Tamil Commissioner of Police
4) Tamil Police Force
5) Constrution to convert Palay in to an International Airport.
5) Widening of KKS Harbour to receive Ships to bring investement from Foreign Countries.
6) Indictment Proceedings to take MR and his Cronies to the HAGUE.
Until then the MANDUVA THAVAKAIS ( Shankar the Sinkalam aka Sivanathan, etc) can scream.

The frustration of Mr Sumanthiran is understandable. He would have got more frustrated by reading the responses which has little relevance to the issues highlighted. Most of the comments are full of hatred and they show how polarised we are and how difficult it is to talk these matters in a common platform. Mr Sumanthiran is a respectable politician and he lambasted the parliament as Rajapakshe government trying to strangulate the NPC by various means to stop them from succeeding in Nothern province. They may prefer to see a failed provincial council in which they can manipulate and exert their power base by various other means as they wish. Please don’t resort to racist politics. You have a big support base in the Sinhala community as well and don’t loose that.Keep fighting along the lines of ethics and principles. Sooner or later you will see the light.Good luck to you.

I agree with you completely. People who support this murderous regime has no proper argument to support the Govt. As such they use foul language and racist comments. Others should not stoop to their level.
If Chandrasiri has any descent education and common sense, he should have resigned and retired peacefully and enjoyed the rest of his life with friends and family!!!But MR and his catchers are bent on making money by any means and we cannot expect decency or fair play or justice from them!!!
