“When you shake hands with the Sri Lankan President, remember that you are shaking hands with a war criminal.”
In a letter to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the Prime Minister of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE), Mr. Visuvanathan Rudrakumaran, urged the Palestinian President to speak up about the mass killing of Tamils during his State visit to Sri Lanka.
“We urge you to use the freedom you will enjoy as a head of State to speak about these atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan Government and the large scale settlement of Sinhalese in Tamil areas.”
Rudrakumaran
“Your State visit will be stage managed and you will never see the pain and suffering of Tamils. You will only see the guard of honor of the same Sri Lankan forces that committed mass Killing of Tamils. When you shake hands with the Sri Lankan President, remember that you are shaking hands with a war criminal” said Mr. Rudrakumaran.
The letter to the Palestinian President explained that Tamils faced repeated mass killings since 1958 and that the killings in 2009 prompted UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to appoint a Panel of Experts to report on the scale of killings.
The letter also stated that, according to this UN report over 40,000 were killed in five months due to deliberate and intense carpet bombing of areas designated by the government as “no-fire zones”, where Tamils assembled for safety.
“The Sri Lankan Government also restricted food and medicine for Tamils, resulting in large numbers of people dying from starvation and many of the injured bleeding to death.”
According to the UN Panel, the killings and other abuses that took place amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. The UN Human Rights Council recently looked into this mass killing and passed a Resolution on accountability for these international crimes. Independent experts believe that there are elements of these abuses that constitute an act of genocide.
“In addition to the killings, thousands of Tamils have disappeared, Tamil women are sexually assaulted and raped, large numbers of Tamils are imprisoned without trial and abductions are continuing. Tamils are singled out to face these abuses simply and solely on account of their Tamil nationality.”
“Members of the Sri Lankan Security forces are almost exclusively from the Sinhalese community and the victims are all from the Tamil community,” said the letter.

It would do well for the TGTE and Rudrakumaran to probe how KP broke ranks with the LTTE and gave himself to MR to be brought into the country as a State Guest although it was publisised that he was bundled out of Malaysia via Bangkok to Sri Lanka by our Intelligent Officers while the Immigration was sleeping in those countries. Obviously KP knew exactly what happened to VP and his LTTE supporters at the end of the Staged War. KP obviously struck a deal with MR to be safe here than outside as he would have been vulnarable from the rest of the LTTE for betraying the Tamil cause if he continued to live outside. Now KP is that much important to MR to project him as the Chief Minister for the North once the elections are held to the North, like the role played by Karuna in the East after he was deported from the UK trying to creep in as Kokila Gunawardene. These are the buggars who were pointing a finger at Ranil Wickremasinghe alleging that he has had deals with the LTTE while it is they who have been dealing with the LTTE all the time.

In any war, acts of atrocity are committed by both parties. No party to a war behaves ethically as war is a very dirty business to start with. Ordinary Sri Lankans going about their daily lives in ordinary towns and villages, had been subjected to suicide bombings, claymore bombs, and remotely detonated explosives, which indiscriminately killed Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim citizens alike.
This state of affairs went on for nearly three decades largely due to the bungling incompetence of successive governments and the intransigent and insincere agendas of the Tigers.
Th final brutality that ensured the culmination of this long drawn war necessarily involved the unwitting deaths of many people, mostly ethnic Tamils.However, considering the fact that the many tens of thousands who perished during the nearly three decades prior were mostly Sinhala, it would not be fair to say that only Tamils were targetted.
Hence, no Sri Lankan leader is alone with a share of culpability, whereas deliberate and remorseless culpability of the Tigers is without question. The Palestinian leader is no stranger to ethnic cleansing. He tolerated the Israeli atrocities against democratically elected Hamas-ruled Gaza inhabitants as he wanted power in his corrupt, undemocratic regime in the West Bank, to much popular resentment by the majority of his subjects. So, allegations against the SL government will fall like water of a duck’s back when Abu Mazin shakes any leader’s hand in Sri Lanka.

Who is this idiot who identifies himself as prime minister of some non existent Tamil Ealam?There’s no doubt that the defeated Tamil Tiger terrorists and their paid mercenaries have gone completely nuts.The list is getting longer day by day.The latest addition being Bomba Gunda and Ole Doc Brian.As a leader of the opposition it is my firm belief that these nuts should be sent to Angoda as soon as possible so that this “nut germ” will not spread to others.Damned set of clowns!
