“We are thank full to you for the continuing concern you have shown towards the resolution of the Tamil question in Sri Lanka and we look forward to working closely with you and your government to future strengthen our ties.” Leader of the Tamil National Alliance wrote to Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, J Jayalalithaa.
Sending a congratulatory message to Jayalalithaa the TNA leader said;The Tamil People in Sri Lanka do not desire a recurrence of violence. Their desire is that they and all other Sri Lankans are able to carry on their lives in the territories they live in, based on equality and justice.”
He also said “Sri Lankan government has not honoured the several commitments made to India and to the International Community to evolve an acceptable political solution to the national question;
“The agenda being aggressively persued by the Sri Lankan government through the several actions stipulated in the said letter to radically alter the demographic composition of the majority Tamil speaking territories, the Northern and Eastern provinces and also change the ethnic, linguistic and cultural identities of the said territories;
“The aforesaid actions of the Sri Lankan government are clearly indicative of the lack of genuine commitment on the part of the Sri Lankan government to evolve an acceptable political solution”
We publish below the letter in full;
Chelvi J Jeyalalitha,
Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu,
Chief Minister’s Office,
Tamil Nadu.
Dear Chief Minister,
I write to you as the Leader of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), democratically elected to substantially represent the Tamil People, particularly in the North East of Sri Lanka, for instance in the last election held for the Northern Provincial Council (NPC), despite the election being held under the intimidatory presence and invlovement of the armed forces as concluded by both international and local observers, the TNA secured 30 out of 38 seats in the NPC.
We extend to you on behalf of the Tamil People of Sri Lanka our warmest congratulations on your resounding victory in Tamil Nadu at the recently concluded elections to the Lok Sabha. By winning 37 out of 39 seats in Tamil Nadu, you have become the third largest party in the whole country in the Lok Sabha, next only to the present and former ruling parties. This indeed, is an astounding acheivement and is indicative of the influence which you have the capacity to weild. We extend to you and your government our very sincere best wishes for the successful performance of your multi-facted responsibilities.
We are thankful to you for the continuing concern you have shown towards the resolution of the Tamil question in Sri Lanka and we look forward to working closely with you and your government to further strengthen our ties. The Tamil People in Sri Lanka do not desire a recurrence of violence. Their desire is that they and all other Sri Lankans are able to carry on their lives in the territories they live in, based on equality and justice.
Following the anti-Tamil pogrom of 1983, Sri Lanka accepted the good offices of India to bring about a final and acceptable resolution of the national conflict in Sri Lanka. This has been a continuing process, though at times interrupted. India has and continues to play a role.
With the end of the armed conflict in May 2009, violence terminated and every opportunity came about to bring a permanent end to the conflict based upon equality, justice and genuine peace.
Both during the armed conflict and after its conclusion Sri Lanka made commitments to India and the International Community to bring about an acceptable political solution. Unfortunately this has not been honoured.
We annex herewith for your kind attention a copy of a letter addresssed to Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India. We have stated therein: 1. The Sri Lankan government has not honoured the several commitments made to India and to the International Community to evolve an acceptable political solution to the national question; 2. The agenda being aggressively persued by the Sri Lankan government through the several actions stipulated in the said letter to radically alter the demographic composition of the majority Tamil speaking territories, the Northern and Eastern provinces and also change the ethnic, linguistic and cultural identities of the said territories; and 3. The aforesaid actions of the Sri Lankan government are clearly indicative of the lack of genuine commitment on the part of the Sri Lankan government to evolve an acceptable political solution.
Such actions of the Sri Lankan government undermine all efforts towards reconciliation, permanent peace and harmony, create an environment that promotes hostility and further cause irreparable and irreversible damage to the Tamil speaking peoples in the territories historically inhabited by them.
We have appealed to the Prime Minister that India’s continued role should ensure that an honourable peace based on justice and equality should be brought about in Sri Lanka.
We appeal to you for your continued and fullest support to achieve the above.
We look forward to meeting with you at your earliest convenience and earnestly request that an opportunity be afforded to us.
With our warmest regards and very best wishes,
Yours Very Sincerely
R. SAMPANTHAN
Member of Parliament, Trincomalee / Sri Lanka.
Leader, Tamil National Alliance.

The word has no meaning these days. Anyone can accuse another being traitor for no apparent reason. No one defines them and the word has been stretched to the extent that no one recognize it anymore.
Perhaps you must have been a past admirer of LTTE or JVP or both at the same time.

TNA’s reliance on Jayalalitha is misplaced. She is the most untrustworthy Indian politician. She runs a one woman show in Tamil Nadu and appoints and sacks her State Ministers and political functionaries of her party as she pleases at the stroke of a pen. AIADMK will be a non-entity when Jayalalitha disappears from the political scene of Tamil Nadu. Sooner or later she will be nailed by the Indian courts on corruption charges.
Jayalalitha has used the Sri Lankan Tamil issue only for her political gains and to drub her adversary Karunanidhi’s nose. She had never been a friend of LTTE or the SL Tamils and even some of her present closest advisors such as Cho Ramasamy are anti-LTTE.
Jayalalitha will have no influence over India’s policy towards Sri Lanka. Modi government is not likely to listen to her. Modi does not need her to sort out the SL Tamil issue. It is far better for TNA and Sampanthan to try to get closer to the likes of Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and other BJP leaders rather than going behind this unpredictable dictator from Tamil Nadu.
/
Ajith / May 29, 2014
You don’t rely on Jayalalitha but you need the support of Tamil Nadu people and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. Similarly we don’t rely on Modi or Sonia, we need the support of Indian people and Indian government. We should not rely on US or UN but we need the support from them. We need to tell the truth about the real face of the Sinhala Buddhist Fundamentalism.

Jayalalitha is much more popular than Mahinda Rajapaksa. Out of 39 seats, her party has won 37 seats. Therefore, Tamilnadu people has chosen Jayalalitha for a reason.
Ignoring Jayalaith will be a headache for Modi and Co.
Any actions to undermine Jayalalitha will only help the Tamil Nationalism to grow more stronger.
/
Unreal / May 30, 2014
Naga, Your motives aren’t clear.
How is ‘TNA’s reliance on Jayalalitha misplaced’? Are you trying to help TNA or are you trying to be a spoke in their wheel.
Are you saying that TNA should not court the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu? Should JJ have been a friend of LTTE for us to seek her political support?
Were you a friend of LTTE? Were your close friends, friends of LTTE?
Sushma Swaraj was never a friend of LTTE. Was she?
Are both JJ and SS sworn enemies? Shouldn’t we be courting both?
Look back at your own comments on this forum. You will be surprised that you are more unpredictable than JJ.
A leader has to have a streak of dominance; That goes with the territory.
/
Ben Hurling / May 30, 2014
It is not JJ or Modi TNA should court. But, the Sri Lankan people.
Everything else is misplaced. JJ is indeed a corrupt, unpredicatable dictator. Who misueses Tamil suffering to promote her own game.
People of SL believe TNA is made up of extremist ethno-natioanlist Tamil traitors.
That is unfortunately TNA’s legacy after their failed 30 year long courtship with VP & LTTE.
Sure, Rajapasa is a disaster. Problem is TNA scores far worse on that same meter.
It is time for TNA to quit licking Indian boots. But, to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow Sri Lankans instead. To build a better country for all Sri Lankans who share this Island.
Only then will TNA win Sri Lankans people’s confidence. And its’ own self-respect.
Cheers!

“It is not JJ or Modi TNA should court. But, the Sri Lankan people.”
You may be right.
However it is the majoritarian who alienated themselves from the minority and supposed to have won the war.
The majoritarian should be magnanimous and court the minorities, not the other way round.
As said on many occasions, if you don’t treat your family well, then the neighbour will grope your wife, daughter, sister, aunts and grandma, when opportunity is presented to him. You can’t do much about it.
If the neighbour is very nice to them they will kick you out of your own house.

” The Tamil People in Sri Lanka do not desire a recurrence of violence”.
In the mid seventies,the TULF leaders branded their political opponents as traitors and thundered in the TULF platforms that the traitors will not have “NATURAL” death.The Tamil youth took their words seriously and started to kill “traitors”(as far the tigers are concerned,Sammanthans are also traitors) like Duraiyappa.THE ONES WHO SOWED THE SEEDS OF VIOLENCE AMONG THE TAMILS ARE SAMMANTHANS.The ones who bore the brunt of the war innocent tamils,NOT SAMMANTHANS.
Sammanthan,you idiot,what moral right do you have to talk about the Tamil issue?Do you really have the thirst to solve the Tamil issue?.Do you have the foresight to save the Tamils in Sl?Are you really acting in the interests of the Tamils?No,absolutely no.If you are really interested in the welfare of the Tamils,you would have accepted the Indo-Srilankan accord and saved thousands of innocent lives.YOU ALSO SHOULD BE TRIED IN THE HAGUE.
Sammanthan,when North and East remained merged for more than two decades,you neither supported it nor thought of strengthening it.What has happened now?Were you able get anything better than that?Now you have accepted NPC and EPC.
Sammanthan,didnt you get expensive bullet proof car from madam Chandrika?Didnt you get luxury residence from Chandrika?Didnt you get security from Chandrika?DID YOU SUPPORT CHANDRIKA’S PACKAGE IN 2000?NO.This itself shows that you have no desire for a political solution.
THE TRUTH IS, SAMMANTHANS DONT WANT THE TAMIL ISSUE RESOLVED.
/
Sellam / May 29, 2014
The TNA members have nothing left in them. To show the Tamil people that they are doing something and concerned about them, they give some reports to the Media or they seem to seek help from India. India for all these years failed to help the Tamils and now they are seeking help from Jeyalalitha who does not have any power with the centre. They are scared of Rajapaksas. The problems of the Tamils would not and cannot be solved by anyone or any government.

It is not that the Tamils should be given more or less. They need and deserve to be fully fledged equal citizens in Sri Lanka, and liberties and rights should be given to assure that this does happen. On the other hand, wagreements obtained under duress will never hold up in a court of law, whether such court is local or international. The Sri Lankan government should, as a matter of principle, abrogate the Indo-Lanka accord as it was obtained under duress, then proceed to give the Tamils whatever is needed to make them fully fledged citizens of the country.
In other words, tell India exactly where it can put it; right up their ****

Mr.Dissanayake!
Could you please give some thoughts before you give away your opinion. As you say if the Tamils were given their due rights and power sharing by the majority government of Sri Lanka over the last 80 years why should anyone or any nation impose on the government of Sri Lanka to sign agreements or the Tamil youths to take up to arms. Once you sign an agreement you have to abide by it.

Dear Sampanthan,
A politician trusting another politician is a bigger fool of all.
A drowning man will hang on to even a straw. You and your flock of leading jokers should realize at least now, that the only path is to ask the ruling party for solutions. Did not the GOSL put down the biggest curse the Tamils had on May 19th 2009.
Sampanthan, you should realize that you and the Tamil people owe the rest of the country a big apology for the carnage caused by his leader of that time – your buddy Thug Prabhakaran. Reconciliation must start from the tamil leadership and the tamils. The majority has nothing to reconciliate and with whom should it reconciliate.
Everything humanly possible has been given by the sacrifices made by the majority of Sri Lanka for you and for the Tamil community in Sri Lanka to live in peace in where-ever and which-ever part of Sri Lanka you all wish to live in.
Does the majority have the same privilege. Hell No!
So Sampanthan without running to that [Edited out] woman in Tamil Nadu, change direction and come to us. We are the ones who paid for your screw ups during the past 28 plus years.
Open your mouth and tell the mad men and women of the Diaspora Tamils including [Edited out] Emmanuele hiding under a robe and that Donald Gnanakone from Wellawatta presently hiding in USA to stop sabotaging your peace of mind.

I don’t think Jayalalitha can make any change in Central Government’s policy towards Ceylon Tamils. Tamilnadu Tamils are not treated as equal as North Indian states, but still much better than their brothers treated in Srilanka.
Any stern action against Central’s stand will put JJ in risk of getting her Govt dissolved.
Therefore, JJ has to go close with Modi to try and get a solution for Tamil issue.

India´s centrail govt will not change to the degree that our administrations fate. In CBK days- diplomatic ties between countries werhe the best – immediately – the street thug (he himself prefers to call him) got elected and the world except undemocratic middle east and few handful of countries of poor kind – nobody ´s ties are made important to the man; not even with the big brother who defended the nation in the LTTE struggle- wihtout whose mediation -LTTE defeat by millitariliy woud not have been a reality.

If necessary Centre would move the state just as it did in the early 1980’s when MGR was the chief minister of Tamilnadu. A reluctant MGR had to play along with Centre’s foreign policy adventure.
It is the Sinhala/Buddhist who should stop playing their nationalistic card.

This may be right – in current of srilanken regime. Centre has silenced even former LTTE terrorist/according to them – turn democratic candidates.
Let me correct you here – it is not sinhala buddhist, it is Rajapakshes who should stop playing their nationalic card. Predominant buddhists would say agree with “devolution of power” but disgree with separating the country. These terms have been a problems to many of the average men.

Sven Perera / June 2, 2014
Dear NV,
I really dont think from the incidents occured in 58, 83, 89, 2009, we could label them all (majority folks) as sinhala buddhists that go always against any kind of autonomy for the minority folks. Lankens in general are a passive nation. This you observe in Universities, schools or any other places today than in the past. And the fact – most among the buddhists and the place of the religion for them has become not the priority to them. If you live iwth budhists you would know that. How many of them would go to temples on full moon day while the numbers among the christians and hindus and muslims get on with their religions are multiple times higher. Average Buddhists in srilanka dont even respect the basics – five precepts incl. avoiding killing or stealing…
In 83 clashes, I knew it worked as not second to tsunami wave. This kind of violent actiivities are also seen at University ragging events, school big matches or the like occasions. Developing nations including ours people would take even another 50 years to achieve the civlized levels as the western Europe enjoy today.
You dont need ot take any other examples – take that one the CJ impeachment process – and the manner so called parliamentarians acted against the island CJ to that time. It was beyond all ethics. We talk about lankens have been civilized…. the very same minsiters and parliamentarians were not punished for those verbal attacks made to the former CJ. Nothing was investigated. If Angela Merkel or anyone from Europe were attacked in that way, ministers would have been demanded to leave the office. They protected the powerfulness of the laws in that way. Just for a tiny issue Germany´s former president reigned the office 4 years ago. That is how cilvilized world worked.
/
Sven Perera / June 2, 2014
I see only way out would be go for better awarness programs across the nation, cleaning all perceptions/myths about devolution of power. Not only sinhalese but also tamils should be informed adequately. In today ´s context – if you hold an opnion poll (covering all walks of people in the society) on devolution of power into regions sometimes representing those educated masses from the south – over 90% would respond to you as if they dont care what kind of poltics the rulers would play, all these considering that what majority of media passing them are the facts. University accredited institutions could do this year to year to ascerntain the changes of people´s ideas, I have no doubt, many would say yes to FEDERAL SYSTEMs – that would bring no harm to any folks. Until majority of folks are better informed, thing swould not even slightly change in lanken society.

Ram / May 30, 2014
” But 5% of indian population WHICHI Jayalalitha´s colony will not be able to move their central govt. “
Then how is it that 4% of Tamils in the North of Sri Lanka have been able to hold the Central government to ransom from the very first day after Independence. Remember that it took less than 5% of non-Slavic people in Russia to take over Russia and hold on to power for a considerable time. What’s more, today the US foreign policy is written and controlled by an even smaller proportion of the population, and that without even a ‘revolution’. Power does not necessarily come from the barrel of a gun. A few traitors would suffice, and in Sri Lanka, we have more than our fair share.
/

As far as facts as they are… lanken tamils are numberd to be 4 million… so how come you reduce it to 4% – which will not be even 0,8 Million. Get your facts right and… let s discuss the issue further. Lanken tamils make up 15-20%.

The previous Central government had wallowed in corruption, and the fact Karunanidhi’s daughter (an LTTE supporter to the end) was named in the telecom scam did not endear the dad to the masses.

The Kaleinger family business does not give two hoots about anyone ouside their clan.
Indian elections are won and lost on domestic issues not on LTTE or Sampanthan’s tiger tail.
Most Southern states didn’t fall for the racist anti Muslim sentiment expressed by Modi Mustan gang. You ought to be celebrating the fact that Southern states are still not being driven by religious fanaticism, unlike the southern part of this island where Buddha’s teaching has been permanently buried under Sinhala/Buddhist parochial nationalism.

Sinhalayo better get toilet cleaning permits from Mahinda Jarapassa and run to Australia or England. Cos Jarapassa can’t pay salary for his sinhala modayo. His begging bowl isn’t big enough. Lol @ the Sinha-lames. What an absurd race the Sinhalayos. Its really funny when the Sinha-lame rubbish out others before looking at their-selves first.

Why are you both so obsessed with toilets. I suspect both of you have developed fetishes for toilets which I think is not a healthy one.
Fetish
Psychology:
Any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.

More than half the Tamils of Tamil Nadu use the roadside as toilets. Knowing the ugly seen, Modi has promised toilets to every Indian. So, Jaya should build them toilets first.

“More than half the Tamils of Tamil Nadu use the roadside as toilets.”
Could you let us have details of your favourite roadside.
Thanks.
