Since the end of the war in May 2009, the UK Channel 4 has become controversial on many affairs concerning Sri Lanka. It has released valuable information with evidence, especially the ‘No Fire Zone’. The reporters or the presenters are Callum Macrae, Jonathan Miller, Jon Snow and others.
Last Tuesday, 28th July, Channel 4 News broadcast another important and interesting news item, “Sri Lanka justice: leaked UN document casts doubts”. The presenter of this news item was once again controversial Callum Macrae. The news item gives two important messages – the leaked document: (1) …outlines plans to set up a purely domestic inquiry into human rights violations – with technical support from the UN. (2) …claims that the “implementing partners” for the scheme would include, along with the Sri Lankan government, the Tamil-dominated Northern Provincial Council, widely seen as representing the popular voice of the Tamils.
These two issues are really worrying the victims and the pro-human rights community. However, Channel 4 contacted Mr. C. V. Wigneswaran the Chief Minister of the Northern Provincial Council and he denied any involvement of the Northern Provincial Council – “But that council’s chief minister, former Sri Lankan Supreme Court Judge CV Wigneswaran, told Channel 4 News that the UN had not even consulted them on the plan.”
Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein – The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
So what is happening here? First of all, one should ask several questions about the leaked information. Yes it may be from the UN. But the UN has several divisions and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights – OHCHR is the one responsible for the impending report on Sri Lanka. Therefore any sensible person would want to know whether the leaked document was from the OHCHR itself. If not, is it worth wasting our time on it? We must not underestimate the marvellous tasks done in the past by Channel 4 on Sri Lanka. If they had not reported on this news, what might have been the consequences of the material disseminated internally in the UN through this document?
This news item has a positive effect as well. If what was released or said by Channel 4 news is true, then all International Human Rights organizations, Human Rights defenders, victims and others can work on a strategy to use, after the long-awaited report is out in late August or September.
On the other hand, how can it be possible to believe this leaked information which says that a domestic inquiry would include the Northern Provincial Council! We can’t ignore the significant fact that the Northern Provincial Council recently passed a resolution naming what happened to the Tamils as ‘genocide’.
In conclusion we can consider this leaked information as a document for consumption during the run-up to the August election in Sri Lanka. There are powerful countries in the West, USA and India, expecting or wanting Ranil Wickremesinghe’s party, the United National Party – UNP and its coalition partners to win the forthcoming election. This leads us to wonder whether this so-called UN leaked information has been fabricated by some powerful states, for the UNP and its coalition to use as a campaign tool.
They will use this so called ‘leaked information’ to tell the people in the South that with the greatest difficulty, they have found a solution to the mess created by Rajapaksa and his regime during the end of the war.
However, if this leaked information includes true information, it is not a good message for the victims, who fully depend on an independent international investigation by the UN, for justice.
Nari-bana / August 1, 2015
The likes of Mr Kirubaharan are panicking. They want Mahinda Rajapakse back. But indicators are that he may not win enough seats to enable him to form government. If Rajapakse loses, the likes of Mr Kirubaran (and CM Wigneswaran) will not be able to show the world that Tamils will be subjected to human right abuses under a re-elected Rajapakse team.
Tamil groups, including Chief Minister, Wigneswaran, are behaving in a way that would make the Sinhala voters wanting to see Mahinda Rajapakse back. Outwardly these Tamils pretend as if they would not like Rajapakse to get back to power. But their scheming is more complex.
It is only if Mahinda Rajapakse regains political power in the country that Tamils who wish to carve out a separate state in the North and East will be able to lobby Western powers to support their claim for a separate state or maximum devolution. However, if the government in Colombo is headed by a moderate, someone who is willing to accommodate Tamil demands of autonomy without diluting the present unitary status of Sri Lanka, it would be hard for the Separatists to justify their demand with their sympathisers in the West (and in New Delhi too).
Thus, expediency calls for the Separatist Tamils to ensure Rajapakse wins this general election. The Sinhala-Buddhist nationalists supporting Rajapakse don’t understand this. They believe Rajapakse will stand up to Western pressure, as he did during the last stages of the war. Little do they understand that the economic pressure the West can exert on Sri Lanka is different to what they could have done during the war.
Economic pressure would be slow strangulation and the Sinhalese don’t have the stomach for hardships. After initial bravado to please his bigoted constituency, Rajapakse will yield when hardships start to bite. And the Separatists will get what they want.
During the 180 day rule of President Sirisena, the Separatist Tamils did all they could to show to the hard-line Sinhala Nationalist bigots that they are going to make sambol out of the new government. The more they voiced their demands, more and more Sinhalese moved to the Rajapakse Camp. And that was exactly what the Tamil Separatists wanted. The Tamil Separatists know that with a reasonable and moderate government in Colombo, no Separatist demand will be entertained in either the Western capitals or by the sympathizing international human rights groups.
It is not for nothing that there is suspicion the Central Bank Bond scandal was also a Tamil Separatist plot to discredit the current government and undermine its election prospects, while making a fast buck on the side by its operators. Ranil, as expected, played right into their hands by defending his pals.

Dear CT Readers,
This is from the UN Press Release, NGO/345
TAMIL CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSULTATIVE STATUS BY COMMITTEE ON NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) this afternoon did not recommend the granting of consultative status to the Tamil Centre for Human Rights, following concerns raised about its connection with terrorist activities.
In order to forge mutually beneficial relations between the Council and civil groups, the Committee’s 19 members review and make recommendations on non- governmental organizations’ applications for consultative status with either general, special or roster classification. Each of these carries with it distinct responsibilities and privileges. The Committee’s recommendations are transmitted to the Council, which takes its final decision as a whole.
Non-governmental organizations with general status can propose items for the Council’s agenda, attend and speak at meetings and circulate statements. Those with special status can attend meetings and circulate statements, while those on the roster can only attend meetings. Organizations with general and special status must report every four years on their activities in support of the United Nations.
Following concerns raised by the representative of the United States about the Centre, which had applied for roster status, the observer of Sri Lanka informed the Committee that the NGO was a well-known front for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a terrorist group banned in several countries. The Centre had published literature promoting the division of Sri Lanka and its senior officials had participated in LTTE rallies. The Centre sought to circumvent the strict procedures regarding accreditation to the United Nations by applying for consultative status. Therefore, the Committee was urged not to consider the application.
Responding to the concerns, a representative of the Centre said that the NGO was committed to working for the protection of human rights and nothing else. It monitored and assessed the needs of Tamil people and fed them into the United Nations system, and did not have any violent objectives. It was entirely untrue that members of the NGO had distributed information produced by the LTTE. It collected money to produce material on human rights, but did not give any money to any group. While she had spoken at peace and human rights rallies, it had not been to advocate a separate State, but to speak about the need to address human rights violations.
Several delegates noted that the responses given were not sufficient to allay their concerns. The activities of the Centre seemed inconsistent with the provisions of resolution 1996/31 and the principles of the United Nations Charter. As such, they could not support the application of an NGO connected with violence and terrorist groups.

This is the 5th or 6th time you have quoted it!
These all SL government propaganda.
I know you will bring Namasivayagam into this. We know it is you, who is Namasivayagam.
What is the big idea behind it?
If you are courageous you can right this with your real name and have confrontation with Kirubaharan.
Don’t you accept that you are scared of Kirubaharan and you are a COWARD?
Kirubaharan is a man to do his writings with proves and evidences, think before you leap.
Are you looking for cheap publicity by writing about Kirubaharan and his wife?

Dear James,
Re “This is the 5th or 6th time you have quoted it! These all SL government propaganda”
So now the UN is doing SL govt propaganda? What IDIOCY!
Your terrorist history will be exposed every time you try to portray yourself as an innocent victim no matter how many times it takes. Because your are neither Innocent nor a Victim. You have been the OPPRESSOR for Centuries.
Mr SV Kirubaharan published an article on CT titled “Here comes the Vultures!”
I wrote a reply and here is part of it.
Dear Mr S. V. Kirubaharan, General Secretary, Tamil Centre For “Human Rights” (TCHR) … A look at your website clearly exposes you as a Tamil Separatist and a Terrorist sympathizer if not a Terrorist Financier. Even the Ethnic Cleansing of the Muslims from the North is described in very mild language. quote “It is common knowledge that the Muslims living in Jaffna were evacuated in 1990 and they were compelled to live in Puttalam. In fact, several times, the political advisor of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam – LTTE, the late Anton Balasingham, tendered their apology for this unpredicted and unexpected incident. In 2002, when Anton Balasingam was speaking in a public meeting in Mullaitivu, he said, “Linguistically, economically and territorially the Muslims and the Tamils are inextricably inter-related and therefore they have to co-exist as brothers in the northeast. Let us forget and forgive the mistakes made in the past. Tamil Eelam is also the homeland of the Muslims and we have to live in harmony and amity to promote peace and prosperity in the region.” (Late Anton Balasingham, 03 April 2002 at Sivasubramaniam Maha Vidyalayam, Puthukuddirrupu in Mullaitivu)” unquote Evacuated not Ethnic Cleansing or Expelled Nothing mentioned about how the Muslims were ROBBED of ALL their belongings by forcing them out within hours with only the clothes they wore. Not a word of the Kattankudi and Eravur Mass Murders of Muslims. 1 August 1990 LTTE attacks kills 14 Muslims in Akkaraipattu. The dead men had their hands tied behind their backs with their own clothes and then shot in the back of the head. Just like the CH4 Video. 2 and 3 August 1990, LTTE kills 15 Muslims in Medawachchiya, Batticaloa and Majeedpuram. 4 August 1990 (Friday) over three hundred Muslims, were at prayer in the Meera Jumma Mosque in Kattankudi. A few yards away about 40 at prayer in the Hussainya Mosque. At 7.20 pm the lights went out. Eye witnesses A. I. Ismail (55) and M.M. Akbar (16) says LTTE dressed in battle fatigues, sarongs and tee shirts drove up in several white Hiace vans and opened automatic fire inside the darkened mosques. Six days after Katankudi LTTE rounded up hundreds of Muslims in Siyambalagaskanda but foiled by the Security forces. 18 August 1990, LTTE attacks Eravur and murder 31 children, 27 women and 115 men. Not a word of the suicide attack on a Muslim Celebration on Prophet Mohamed’s Birthday at Godapitiya in Akuressa. Mr S. V. Kirubaharan, we know how you protect Human Rights …. the rest of my response is here (https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/next-year-will-mark-sri-lankas-first-racial-riots-centenary/comment-page-1/#comment-1371911)
.
Ms Deirdre McConnell wrote an article in her name to Colombo Telegraph, titled Change But No Change In Sri Lanka
Not ONCE did she mention her connection to Mr. S. V. Kirubaharan or her employment under Shanthan at Eelam House. The intent of suppressing this VITAL information was to project her views as an unbiased Foriegn Observer of the Lankan Situation.
I too was taken in by this deception and wrote a comment on March 21, 2015 at 2:30 am, (at which time I had not seen the comment posted by Namasivayam) a part of which follows.
Dear Ms. Deirdre McConnell, A comment cannot do justice to what you have written here. I am not aware whether you sent this for publication to CT by yourself. If you did, you would be reading and following the comments. I intend to keep my comments short and focused on a few points at a time, to contest what you have written. Considering what you have written as a whole, I see that your understanding of Sri Lanka is heavily influenced by Tamil separatist propaganda. You are not looking at the ethnic issue as a Macrocosm but as a Microcosm. That too through coloured glasses. Thus the conclusions you arrive at are faulty and completely misleading. They are better placed as propaganda rather than as serious writing about a very complex problem that has origins in the 18th century….. the rest of my comment is here https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/change-but-no-change-in-sri-lanka/comment-page-1/#comment-1799516
.
I did not know that Deirdre McConnell was in reality Ms Kirupakaran until, V Namasivayam, exposed her on March 21, 2015 at 12:39 am (https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/change-but-no-change-in-sri-lanka/comment-page-1/#comment-1799482
.
I did not know of Diedrie’s previous employment under Shanthan at Eelam House until a foolish Tamil seperatist writing under a Sinhala name goaded V Namasivayam to react angrily blurting out more info about Diedrie on March 21, 2015 at 12:20 pm, quote “Deirdre was in the payroll of the LTTE at Eelam House under Shanthan and then moved to Paris and married and living with LTTE’s one man Tamil human rights group run by Kirupakaran. She is the editor of her husbands public reports and writings” unquote (https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/change-but-no-change-in-sri-lanka/comment-page-1/#comment-1799709)
.
Since then I have done my own research and is better informed than I was when I first addressed Diedrie Kirupakaran.
If you want more detaile of Mr S. V. Kirubaharan, Diedrie K nee M or the TCHR I will be glad to oblige.

Can you put here what is the definition of war crime the Kerala Mercenary who is converted as a Kandyan Sinhala Intellectual? It does not count whether the Chemical Bombs were used against the children or the men. It is about the Chemical Bombs used in the fight! You are so scared of ICC so writing mad man’s gibberish.

Don’t be stupid Suku.
Why should I be jealous when I have FACTS to strip the False Propaganda Naked?
Here is an extract from Kirbaharan’s article.
“Mr. C. V. Wigneswaran the Chief Minister of the Northern Provincial Council and he denied any involvement of the Northern Provincial Council – “But that council’s chief minister, former Sri Lankan Supreme Court Judge CV Wigneswaran, told Channel 4 News that the UN had not even consulted them on the plan.”
How many are aware that Mr. C. V. Wigneswaran, the Former SC Judge who sat on the SC Bench and heard cases of Tamils charged under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, will one day say, that the Megalomaniac murderer Prabahkaran was a Hero? But he did.
.
“Pirapakaran oru payangaravathiyalla. Avar Thamil Inathin Viduthalikkaaha Poaradiya oru Maha Veeran” he said in Tamil.
.
(http://dbsjeyaraj.com/dbsj/archives/25697)
.
Translation, “Prabhakaran is not a terrorist. He is a great hero who fought for the freedom of the Tamil people”
.
He should go and tell that to the relatives of the Muslim Mass Murder and GENOCIDE Victims of Kattankudi and Eravur.
.
1 August 1990, LTTE attacks and kills 14 Muslims in Akkaraipattu. The dead men had their hands tied behind their backs with their own clothes and then shot in the back of the head. Just like the CH4 Video.
.
2 and 3 August 1990, LTTE kills 15 Muslims in Medawachchiya, Batticaloa and Majeedpuram.
.
4 August 1990 (Friday) over three hundred Muslims, were at prayer in the Meera Jumma Mosque in Kattankudi. A few yards away about 40 at prayer in the Hussainya Mosque. At 7.20 pm the lights went out. Eye witnesses A. I. Ismail (55) and M.M.

Six days after Katankudi LTTE rounded up hundreds of Muslims in Siyambalagaskanda but were foiled by the Security forces.
.
18 August 1990, LTTE attacks Eravur and murder 31 children, 27 women and 115 men.
.
Then there was the suicide attack on a Muslim Celebration, on Prophet Mohamed’s Birthday at Godapitiya in Akuressa.
Of Course according to the Former SC Judge and Chief Minister C. V. Wigneswaran, these were not Acts of Terrorism but Acts of Heroism!!!
.
“Pirapakaran oru payangaravathiyalla. Avar Thamil Inathin Viduthalikkaaha Poaradiya oru Maha Veeran”

In the above narrative you see examples of the LTTE carrying out

“concerns raised about its connections with terrorist activities.” I have posted the FULL UN document elsewhere on this web page. Then….is that all?
Didn’t you and UN blame LTTE of war crime but not ready take an action of that? Didn’t you lowyer who attempted a same story about PM Rudra, but he practicing law with all New York City, state and Federal courts approval?
For your information, Kirupa still able to do all what he has been doing all the way at UNHRC. But you are the only one scared to come out your cocoon ans asking “Is that a threat” shamelessly!
“Have you forgotten the war fare between Temple groups and the LTTE for the control of Hindu Temples?” Why do you worry about that money ? is that amount is short to deposit the Chinese money in Oman and Swiss banks?

UN leaked first..
Now it is official.
USD 1 million already paid to Vigneswaran to do reconciliation.
And all parties must be involved sys the UN.
No mention of Crimes & Punishment…,
Bunki Moon will send the experts and give more money too.
Now it can’t be just an Election Gimmick which the Elite and the , Anglicans hoped for to help Batalanda Ranil get over the line.
No wonder the blood thirsty Diaspora is pissed off..
TNA which is a Colombo Vellala outfit wants to rule at least the North, before Sambandan goes to pastures.
They don’t give a tuppence about the Dalits as they never did until Prabakaran came along.
Even then all they did was keep mum.
Their big ass Manifesto this time doesn’t even mention the Estate Tamils.
Surendran’s Tamils are the equivalent of Vellalas in Colombo.
They only want to see the Colombo Tamils ruling the North so that they can buy land , make money, and live in luxury in retirement while breaking coconuts at Nalloor.
They , like the Colombo Vellalas couldn’t give a shit about the Dalits in the West because there is nothing the Dalits can give them.
Although they helped Prabakaran , they never wanted to live under him.
How could they with their Vellala breeding and comfortable upbringing?.
So this UN report will suit them.
The problem is, can Batalanda Ranil do deals with Sambandan and Surendran, when the whole Sinhala Buddhist inhabitant population is now against Batakanda Ranil?…

@Sumanasekeram, you are one ff’ng moron. Oh my, only if your parents thought of planting a tree instead of making you in a failed science experiment, the country would have been better off. Now in addition to the words you generally use (Dalits, Anglicans, Elite, Diasporians……….etc) you have created another word……….Batalanda!!! When are you ever going to grow up? MR gave Rs. 180 million through Basil the servant boy and Tiran Alles the global pariah to be handed over to the dreaded and disgusting LTTE to prevent the Tamils from voting for the UNP. Remember the Tamil votes threw a toxic waste out of power in the last presidential election. The very same toxic waste also mass murdered 40,000 innocent Tamils in the last push in the war. In 1989 Premadasa mass murdered 80,000 rural Sinhala youths. All the wonderful governments have been murdering their own people for 65 years. Now we have a decent fellow running the show and you want to disrupt that, don’t you???? A bugger like you should be kicked to a corner and destroyed at first sight. Mayhem came to an end to a great degree after this toxic corrosive murderer and his family was thrown out of power. People who came back recently told me it is so peaceful there. Why would you want to destroy that? Why would you want to bring this hoodlum back to power? You must be one frustrated screw up, who wants chaos since you don’t have one in your own life. Get a life loser.

KIRU:
Callum Macrae should not be cited as a controversial figure. That is what the SL regime would want us to believe. The Ch4 team had brought out vividly to the world that news and information that showed a barbaric regime’s atrocities committed on the Tamil people.
This piece of information, as you mentioned, may be for election gaze but we have to be on our heels that the UNHRC report is not swept under the carpet.

1. The ONLY hospital available to the LTTE in PTK which was shown on CH4 did not have a SINGLE LTTE combatant casualty within or without, while a war was raging.
Thus either the LTTE escaped any injury or death or the LTTE casualties were dressed up in Civilian clothes before filming the scene. The CH4 commentary was emphasising on the civilian injured.
2. One of he “EXPERTS” used to authenticate CH4 Mr. Grant Fredericks was exposed as a Charlatan who did not have the expertise that he claimed he had. See the Canadian Braidwood Commission Report for details.
3. The Macombe county medical examiner Dr. Daniel Spitz was another “expert” used to authenticate the CH4. This same Spitz tried to suppress evidence by failing to discover the FATAL bullet that was still inside the victims head. Unfortunately for Spitz the bullet was found during a second autopsy performed by another medical examiner.
The videos below will show Dr Spitz’s stuttering to explain the perjury, under cross examination by defense counsel.

Mahinda Rajapakse claimed his claimed his soldiers carried the HC in one hand and the gun in the other. His bluff of zero civilian casualties had wedded into your thick head. The latest Yasmin Sooka’s report reiterates that the impunity is still continuing in SL to this day. Instead of you focusing on where others live and do, dry your clothes in the sun. Donkeys like you allowed MR to run free with the 18A. Much has been written on how and why the Tamils took up arms and not only CW but many have justified it, and rightly so. SL did not win the war alone. When it was doing on its own, it got thrashed over and over. Its begging bowl was filled up by many countries. You call that a manly war. A coward you are.

Dear Jansee,
MR was an idiot to have claimed Zero civilian deaths because any war has them. Prabahkaran was an IDIOT not to take MR’s warning seriously when he closed the Mavil Aru in peace time and kick started a war that proved to be his Waterloo.
However you are an IDIOT to use Mahinda’s Idiocy as a defense against the IDIOTIC Lies that the CH4 and their LTTE corroborators propagate.
Which Hospital in a War zone will not have Combatant Casualties? How idiotic to show the ONLY hospital under the LTTE without LTTE casualties?
The Channel 4 guys made a fool of themselves by dressing up the LTTE casualties in Civilian clothes before Video graphing them.
Ms Yasmin Sooka coauthored the following statement.
“they forced thousands of civilians, often under threat of death, to remain in areas under their control during the last stages of the war and enforced this control by killing persons who attempted to leave that area” (POE report item 237)
The above text by the UNSG’s POE, documents the following,
1. The Presence of Civilians (thousands)
2. Civilians held against their will (threat of death).
3. Escaping civilians were killed (executing the threat)
4. PRESENCE of armed LTTE combatants amongst the Civilians.
This is a Serious War Crime and is defined by the following law, in the Rome Statute.
Rome Statute Article 8, War crimes, 2(b)(xxiii)
Utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations; (page 7)
However Ms Sooka and her coauthors goes on to stay that,
“With respect to the credible allegations of the LTTE’s refusal to allow civilians to leave the combat zone, the Panel believes that these actions did not, in law, amount to the use of human shields”
Hilarious, when the Law explicitly say it is!!!
Writing further Sooka and her Coauthors in an attempt to justify that opinion says,
“insofar as it did not find credible evidence of the LTTE deliberately moving civilians towards military targets to protect the latter from attacks as is required by the customary definition of that war crime (Rule 97, ICRC Study)”
Sooka and her Coauthors have DELIBERATELY OBLITERATED the Rome Statute (no reference to the Rome Statute is made) in order to EXONERATE the LTTE of employing Human Shields.
As UNSG appointed Experts, they knew the Law was the Rome Statute, not any Red Cross Study. Yet they cited the Red Cross study and OBLITERATED the Rome Statute and the ICC in order to hood wink the world and Exonerate the LTTE.
Ms Yasmin Sooka is CORRUPT and evidence of that corruption is Indelibly written by them in their POE Report Item 237.
There are Jack Donkeys and Jenny Donkeys. But Jansee the Jenny is foolish to think MR can be used to restore the reputation of a Charlatan and Perjurer used by UN’s Alston to “Authenticate” a piece of trash produced by CH4.
And when writing about COWARDS Jenny forgets her own past.
Did you or did you not Run away deserting Prabahkaran and the fight for Eelam? Obviously you did. Was that Cowardice or Bravery?
The idiot Prabahkaran started using Children as young as 8, as fighters, to overcome the manpower shortage created by the COWARDS who deserted him. This went on for 27 years did you try to stop him?
Jenny Jansee you USED those Tamil Children as cannon fodder. While your children had a pen in their hands and was watching TV and playing enjoying their childhood the Wanni Tamil children were putting their life on line with a gun in their hand. It was you who put that Gun in their hand by continualy ignoring their suffering, which destroyed at least a 100,000 of them and with them, several future generations.
The Self confessed War Criminal who created the LTTE Baby brigade, Adelle Bala is living in the UK and not a SINGLE War Crime pursuer have called for her to be held accountable. Proof that all of you are complicit in Child Soldering and you used them as dispensable sanitary pads.
BTW Jenny you have forgotten 3 June 1987. If not for the Indian Parippu drop on that day the war would have ended in June 1987 with the capture dead or alive of your Hero, the megalomaniac Prabahkaran.
Many thousands of Sri Lankan Lives would have been spared, Rajiv Ghandi himself would be still alive, IPKF would have had a still birth and no MR would have been in sight.

There are murderers and psychopaths in your own backyard. I know it has been difficult for you to identify them because you must be one of them. That is why we have been pushing for an international investigation. If you wish to include Adele in that, you call for it. Before you sink in the filth to the extent that you now want to see who and what others are, and since you seem to be dozing around with plenty of lazy time, start digging in your own backyard and the skeletons that emerge may show that you will end up digging the whole of North to unearth the truth. By the way, someone told that all the casualties were ground in cement mixers to destroy evidence. Since you were part of that treacherous and hideous act, care to share secretly some of your travails with me.

Dear Jansee,
You wrote “If you wish to include Adele in that, you call for it.”
It was Tamil Children that she was instrumental in killing. Don’t you want JUSTICE for the dead and Injured Tamil Kids and their parents?
Apparently not. Protecting the self confessed War Criminal Ms Adelle Balasingham takes precedence over getting Justice for the Tamil Children and their parents. What HYPOCRISY!!!
.
You see Jenney, I was right when I said, to you cowards, the Tamil Children of the Vanni was like a Sanitary Pad, use them and flush it down the Toilet.
These children were ABDUCTED and FORCIBLY taken from their Tamil parents.
According to the UN, even the number 8000 is a minute figure. Please see the BBC Hard Talk interview with Mr. J Aguilar of UNICEF for confirmation.
.
Watch from 3:28 onwards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gXbFPoDWSI
.
Mr. Aguilar says that they have reports of about 8000 missing children. He also states that this is just a minute fraction of what went on (4:20 onwards). He also states that during the last 6 months at least 200 children per month were taken from their parents for the war effort including 9 year olds (4:38 onwards).
.
From the above, it can be seen that, Ms Adele Balasigham is responsible for training and commissioning at least a 100,000 Tamil Child Soldiers in the time span of three decades. Many of them are now dead.
.
If you have not seen her supervising the commissioning by awarding a cyanide capsule this video will enlighten you.
.
In the video footage below, Adele and Anton Bala explains what the cyanide capsule symbolises. The video shows Adelle participating in commissioning new recruits by decorating their young necks, with a Cyanide Capsule Necklace. It leaves no room for doubt about Adelle’s War Crimes.

“Never address the points that OTC makes.”
What is the point which needs addressing. Lies and more lies need no response.
“Never counter his documented and referenced allegations.”
His references are mainly obtained from sites which promotes racism, lies and rewritten history to suite the present political needs.
For example this liar often site newly written tales from http://www.jaffnahistory.com/ whose objectives couldn’t be more clearer than one can guess.
Who we are & Why, did we created this?
We are a group of people, comprising of all ethnics(Sinhala, Muslim & European), dedicated to outting of the Truth!. We are based mainly in the United States but have bases throughout the expatriate Sri Lankan community.
As we see the situation, with the war at an end with the destruction of the miltant aspect of the Eelam movement in Lanka. Their is still elements not only within Lanka but also all over the world, of the political side.
These Eelamists work by spreading a false history of what is today considered as the Northern and Eastern provinces of Lanka. Provinces in fact created by the British Colonial Administration.
This web site contains information gathered over the years from many sources. The sources that we use are mostly, Primary & Secondary forms of Information. If we use a modern writers work, then we do acquire and list his or her source unlike most Eelamists. Who mostly use 20th Century writers or even worse, use unreferenced sources from Eelam websites, without lsting those writers sources. This is very evident on the so called online encyclopedia-Wikipedia!
We know some might think, this web site is controversial or a lie but everyone is allowed to have their own opinions but our request, is to read through this site and all its evidences, from the Ancient to Colonial and then make an educated decision.
Their might be some who might think that, why are we doin this? When war is over and peace is achived…Well it can be answered, with a simply question;
Can you build anything, be it a relationship, a frienship or a….NATION, based on a lie? A lie that, Sinhalese and Tamils, have been living together for thousands of years, in this land with North & Eastern parts been Tamil? Answer is….NO!
Sri Lanka, has had a sour experience from the Tamils at all levels, be it past or present…even Tamil Buddhist priests from India, have been a sour experience eg….Mahanaman, came in the 5th Century and wrote a Dynastic book called the Mahawamsa, which gave an Indian origin to the Sinhalese people. Then a few decades later came….Buddhagosha, who re-wrote all the Sinhala written books known as ‘Attakathas’, into Pali. To give an example of the cultural disater, it is stated in Burmese records that books amounting to seven elephants in height, were….BURNED!…Nothing short of a Cultural Genocide!
Regarding this site though, we are excited to see many people of all creeds and castes, taking an interest in this subject and have even seen this web site been used by Eelamists and declaring these details as lies. Our argument is, simply…PROVE IT!…e.g. we find it almost a joke, how finding 179 South Indian coins is considered evidence of a Tamil homeland. If these same principles are applied then, the thousands of Roman coins found in Anuradhapura, must mean that it was a Roman city? We would like to see, hard evidences from these Eelamists, rather than calling, this a lie and that a lie!
To us. We would like to consider this site, as been for all communities, not just the Sinhalese. As it is important that Tamil people also learn the truth about their presence in Lanka and why…? We don’t deny that their were people from South India present in Lanka e.g. as traders, sailors, mercernaries etc etc and their were Sinhalese people throughout India too. What we do say is false and object too, is the falsifying of Lankan history to try and create an impression of a Tamil homeland.
We hope that those reading this would realise that a crime was committed by Colonialists against both communities and this needs to be addressed in the correct manner. We all belive, that everyone, be they Sinhala speaking or Tamil, can live together in this nation but must be in the correct atmosphere. No region should be exclusive to one group, all have every right to live anywhere on this Isle.
At the end of the day, it is not the fault of the Sinhala or Muslims that the Tamil’s do not have their own country.
The blame must lie with the Tamil politicians, who have done nothing but waste the last 60years on demanding it from the wrong country! The answer to their needs is Tamil Nadu(Which by the way means ‘Tamil Homeland’) in India. It is immoral and unjustified to try and take what does not belong to you in Lanka(Ceylon, Sinhale)!
PS
Our many thanks to the Eelamist, for linking this web site to theirs. It has given allot more coverage than we expected ;0)

Dear “Native Vedda” who is not a Vedda,
First I must thank you for giving me the opportunity to expose you.
Today you are squirming like a worm trying to justify why you don’t challenge what I write. You have made a FOOL of yourself by giving a putrid excuse that will prove to anyone reading my comments that you are a Coward and a Lying one at that.
You see Pseudo Vedda, you are such an ingrained LIAR that you even hide your real Tamil Ethnicity, not only with your pseudonym but by what you write within the comments. A born Coward and a Racist who cunningly pretends he is not. But the carefully hidden Racism surfaces when the OPPRESSION that was practised on the enslaved Tamil Polity is exposed with unassailable facts. The OPPRESSION which allowed you to climb on the shoulders of fellow Tamils to get an education that you denied them.
Then you shift gear and attack the messenger in an effort to trivialise the Factual and Unassailable References quoted. You have found my comments unassailable due to the authoritative references cited. Most of my sources are Tamil and I avoid using the Mahavamsa which has been an easy target to attack.
You assert “His references are mainly obtained from sites which promotes racism, lies and rewritten history to suite the present political needs. For example this liar often site newly written tales from http://www.jaffnahistory.com/ whose objectives couldn’t be more clearer than one can guess”
Let’s test the Truth or otherwise of that statement, shall we?
I wrote a comment “University Entrance and Standardisation, the Truth” at this link.
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/ltte-tamil-lunatic-fringe-anti-muslim-racism/comment-page-1/#comment-1853516
You wrote the following on July 5, 2015 at 2:05 am, when Siva Sankaran Sarma said “Finally some verifiable facts, thanks OTC. “ Your intent was obvious.
Wee Thamihz Senior Journalist Siva Sankaran Sarma Menon D: “Finally some verifiable facts, thanks OTC” Poor OTC, he does not have the sort of perverted sense of humour that you possess to understand your sarcastic comment which is at his expense. I am sure you would enjoy reading a detailed study on the effect of standardisation: Weightage in University Admissions Standardisation and District Quotas in Sri Lanka Pages 152 to 197 By C R De Silva Modern Ceylon Studies Volume 5 Number 2 1974 Published in 1975 http://noolaham.net/project/118/11722/11722.pdf
I replied you on July 5, 2015 at 11:54 pm as follows and up to date you have not responded. What is your excuse? That the UGC website is Racist?
Dear Tamil non Vedda, As I stated in my comment of June 30, 2015 at 11:50 am, the use of LINGUISTIC Proportions was grossly unfair. It is recommended that you read before you start punching the keyboard. My comment carried the HISTORY and as Siva Sankaran Sarma said, is verifiable. What you failed to notice (due to succumbing to a reflex instead of thinking) is that C. R. de Silva’s analysis does not go beyond 1975.
But the scheme of admission has under gone many changes afterwards. K M de Silva who is an outspoken critic of standardisation, a member of the University Grants Commission (UGC), and its Vice-Chairman has this to say. Quote The latest refinement of this came in 1996-97 when the Tamils from the Jaffna peninsula, hitherto the most vocal critics of the system joined in asking for the status of a disadvantaged district for Jaffna itself. This claim was first made before the UGC review committee of 1993: on that occasion it was rejected by the committee. With the change of government they succeeded in securing this advantage. It remains to be seen whether this reversal of the position taken by Jaffna politicians from being the most vigorous advocates of a merit system to the somewhat low-key claimants for the benefits of district quotas will be purely temporary or become permanent. More important, it illustrates the significance of the change that has occurred in the university admissions policy. It had ceased to be affirmative action on an ethnic basis in support of the Sinhalese majority and even politicians from the Jaffna district were comfortable with it as a form of regional, i.e., district, preferences. Unquote I suggest that you read “Affirmative Action Policies: The Sri Lankan Experience” by K M de Silva. I have lost the link to the pdf but your noolaham.net/project/ might have it. I take this opportunity to thank you for CR De Silva’s essay. Unfortunately an important page (page 152) is missing. Kind Regards, OTC

.
Even Today in 2015 Tamil Students from Jaffna will enter the University scoring LOWER marks than the Sinhalese from Colombo, Galle, Gampaha, Kandy, Kalutara, Kurunegala, Matara etc and thus for 18 years in the past, the intake of 2015 as well as future intakes to the University the Tamils from Jaffna will gain entry to the University at the expense of HIGHER scoring Sinhala Students. Are the Sinhalese complaining as You have done?
.
Who is the Racist here?
.
I also wrote about the possibility of Bribery and corruption within the UNSG’s POE and Ms Yasmin Sooka. The ONLY references I used were the Rome Statute of the ICC and the POE report itself.
Did you refrain from challenging me because the ICC and UN websites that I used to get information is RACIST? Or is it because you agreed with what I wrote? Or were you rendered helpless?
But you made the following sarcastic remark to Sylvia Haik “Have you taken trouble to read, digest and understand the entire report?”
This indicated that you have read and understood the POE report in it’s entirety.
Here is my response that remains Unanswered to date. is it because the UN and ICC websites that I used as references are RACIST? (note the comment is edited for length)
Hello Tamil in a Vedda Mask,
237. Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions: Credible allegations point to a violation of Common Article 3’s ban on the taking of hostages insofar as they forced thousands of civilians, often under threat of death, to remain in areas under their control during the last stages of the war and enforced this control by killing persons who attempted to leave that area. (With respect to the credible allegations of the LTTE’s refusal to allow civilians to leave the combat zone, the Panel believes that these actions did not, in law, amount to the use of human shields insofar as it did not find credible evidence of the LTTE deliberately moving civilians towards military targets to protect the latter from attacks as is required by the customary definition of that war crime (Rule 97, ICRC Study)
The POE uses an ICRC study and is referring to Rule 97 of that study.
Which is the Legal Institution empowered by the UN? Is it the International Criminal Court (ICC) or the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)?
If it is the ICRC what is it’s standing within the UN system? Does the ICRC wield authority over the ICC? Can you explain why the UNSG’s POE IGNORED the ICC and preferred the ICRC instead?
International Law
What is the International Law on war?
Is it the ICRC study used by the POE or is it the Rome Statute?
If it is the Rome Statute why is the POE IGNORING it?
Rome Statute (http://www.icc-cpi.int/iccdocs/PIDS/publications/RomeStatutEng.pdf)
.
Article 8 War crimes
(b) Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict, within the established framework of international law, namely, any of the following acts:
(xxiii) Utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations;
Using your Intimate knowledge of the POE report item 237, please discuss the conclusions arrived by the POE and show how it complies with the Law of War as defined by the Rome Statute.
With reference to the CH4 you also ask Sylvia “am sorry are you an expert on Image Quality in Camera Phones?”
That question would have been more appropriate if you had asked it either from the POE or Prof Alston.
Then there was this CH4 video that depicted the PTK hospital, the ONLY hospital within the war zone that was under the direct control of the LTTE without a SINGLE LTTE casualty within it! The CH4 team and the LTTE propaganda machine made a fatal mistake by dressing up ALL the LTTE combatants in Civilian Clothes before filming it.
Sylvia is apparently making her observations as a lay person. Differentiating between a grainy picture and a well defined picture does not need Professional expertise when the difference is obvious.
However, Mr. Grant Fredericks was used as an expert by UN Special Rapporteur Prof Philippe Alston, for “authenticating” the CH4 video.
Mr. Fredericks was used by the Police (RCMP) in Canada in an attempted cover up of the death of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport, Canada on October 14, 2007.
The death was investigated by the BRAIDWOOD COMMISSION which held public hearings. Here is an extract from that report.
Commissioner stated I am not prepared to rely on Mr. Fredericks’ analysis for two reasons: His verification methodology was flawed. He has no special expertise in determining steps from shoulder movements.
.
The full report is available here. (http://www.scribd.com/doc/33243133/Braidwood-Inquiry-Full-Report#page=396)
.
Prof Alston also used Dr. Daniel Spitz as an expert. Dr Spitz failed to find a bullet embedded in the skull of a man killed execution style, shot in the head from behind at close range. The videos below will show Dr Spitz’s poor performance under cross examination by defence counsel.
.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Oy76_nICc&NR=1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpL56wS_qZo
.
You questioned Sylvia, but did you also question the POE, the UN Special Rapporteur Prof Philippe Alston or any of his so called experts?
If not why? Were you overawed by their reputations?

Paul- “May be that is why nobody has been able to find 140,000 corpses” (August 1, 2015 at 7:36 pm )
“Native Vedda”- “Of course you wouldn’t find any corpses two years after the crime scene had been wiped clean behind closed doors” (August 1, 2015 at 10:47 pm)
OTC- Dear Tamil masquerading as a Vedda, Re your comment “Of course you wouldn’t find any corpses two years after the crime scene had been wiped clean behind closed doors” No crime scene can be wiped clean the way you foolishly insinuate. Certainly not the human remains of 140,000 dead!!! 140,000 Dead! How many injured by war? At 1:1, 140,000 At 1:2, 280,000 At 1:3, 420,000 The dead by war, the dead by natural causes, the wounded by war and the uninjured, together with natural increase will add up to a record Tamil population explosion. That is the Stupidity of Knee Jerk Wise Cracking. Kind Regards, OTC (August 4, 2015 at 1:46 pm )

Off the Cuff:
Only you are shouting through your gap of Adele’s culpability. Even the country where she is staying has not lifted a finger against her. Whereas, the whole world is raring for the blood of your Mahinda and Gotabaya mamas. You can lie through your teeth because can the same stock sound any different? No wonder Cameron walked into your backyard and lashed and thrashed, literally calling your buddies liars but I heard you went and hid behind Mahinda’s skirt. Just because a liar like you can cite Adele doesn’t mean it has to be the truth.
By the way, when are you going to drag your Mahinda mama by the collar and teach him not to bluff around. You had admitted earlier he had lied. Or you don’t have the balls to do it?
Or is it surprising that you never talk about the Trinco five who were brutally murdered and you jokers have been lying for years trying to sweep the truth under the carpet? The ACF 17 matter has been burning for years and don’t tell me your dick has been sleeping as if nothing had happened.
Enough of your fox’s tricks. Try your luck with someone else.

Dear Jansee,
Why can’t you stop being a Jenny and address the issues raised?
Re “Only you are shouting through your gap of Adele’s culpability”
Yes why ONLY me when there are at least 200,000 Tamil parents of those Tamil Children who were VICTIMISED by Adelle Bala? Don’t they care? Don’t you as a Tamil care? Why are you SILENT?
.
Because they were expendable like a Sanitary Pad?
.
Re “Even the country where she is staying has not lifted a finger against her”
.
Sad isn’t it?
To give refuge to a SELF CONFESSED War Criminal and protect her from the ICC? But they talk of War Crimes!
Do we see double standards from the UK govt or are they influenced by the Tamil Vote Bank pressing for protection for Adelle?
Kind Regards,
OTC

What happened to the issues that I have raised – the Trinco 5 and the ACF 17? You think you are very smart isn’t it? For a banana republic, liars are a aplenty. May be you should have a shot at reporting to the UK govt about Adele’s misdeeds but you should not be surprised if they show you the two fingers because not only the UK but the whole world has degraded you people as pathetic liars.
Talking of sanitary pads, were the Trinco 5 and the ACF 17 graced with them, too. Don’t deluge yourself and get your bearing. The lies may have traction with dumbwits like you but there are no takers internationally.
Why do you think that the world frowns when your Mahinda mama was bluffing but left Adele alone? Because it is a well-known fact you are all a bunch of liars. If that is not enough, go and knock your head against any wall or coconut tree. May be you may have a remote chance of your faculties recovering from insomnia.

Dear Jansee,
You are still being a Jenny, unfortunate.
Ms Adelle Balasingham is a SELF CONFESSED WAR CRIMINAL hence there is no doubt about the criminality
She is responsible for the deaths of at least a 100,000 Tamil Children and at least a 200,000 Tamil parents are grieving.
The call for Justice is made by people like you, the cowards who deserted the war, the Root Cause of Adele’s Child Soldering. That your call is not driven by a honest desire to prosecute War Criminals at the ICC is apparent by the way you and the TGTE etc are Heeing and Hawing when this question is raised.
That all of you are protecting Adelle is also apparent. When looking at the Motives of your actions the empathy that you (the TGTE etc) have with Adelle stands out. Are you a part of the new face of the LTTE?
As I said before, to you, the Wanni Tamils are used as a means to an end. They are the Sanitary Pad that is to be used and thrown away.
Kind Regards,
OTC

I know your insomnia is getting the better of you but you write:
“That all of you are protecting Adelle is also apparent”.
No one is defending Adele. All I asked you is whether you have the balls to get her on your charge sheet. Go ahead, if you can. My point is, why is that the world is going after your Mahinda mama and not Adele? What to do, you forehead has been stamped with as an unreliable, pathetic liar. Who is protecting Adele? Go and get her if you want? Simply admit that you don’t have the balls. Despite my reiteration that there is nothing stopping you getting Adele, your incessant barking at the wrong tree somehow tells me that you have misplaced your pants somewhere.
Hello Chief, why have sealed your dumb mouth when questions are posed on the Trinco 5 and the ACF 17? Truly a hypocrite masquerading in the dark. Or were you the one who pulled the trigger?
Oh, you conveniently forgot that the Wanni Tamils chucked you MR mama like a piece of toilet paper. He even had the cheek to tell them that “he is a better devil” Can you believe that? So, a nut like you should not lecture me on what the sentiments of the Northern Tamils are. Are you going there with your Mahinda mama to campaign there for the upcoming election?

Dear Jansee,
Re No one is defending Adele”
You are, the TGTE is, the BTF is, the World Tamil Association (WTA) is, World Tamil Movement (WTM) is, the Federation of Associations of Canadian Tamils (FACT) is, the Tamil Eelam Society of Canada (TESOC) is. You are doing that by observing a Total Silence about her and her Very Grave Crime against the Tamil Children of the Vanni.
When a questions about Adelle is raised all of you become DUMB. Not one dares to express an opinion. Even Rudra, Usha and Brian of the TGTE observed a pin drop silence.
Re “All I asked you is whether you have the balls to get her on your charge sheet”
Don’t worry about my Balls they are in very good shape worry about the Balls closer to home.
Re “My point is, why is that the world is going after your Mahinda mama and not Adele?”
The answer should be clear to you but you seem to be too Dumb to realise it. It is not because Adelle is not a War Criminal. Stop being a Jenny Jansee.
Adelle is a Self Confessed War Criminal that has confessed to Child Soldering a very serious war crime.
Her prosecution and conviction is not dependent on MR’s conviction which has to be proved in contrast to Adelle’s. Six years have gone without anyone raising a finger.
When anyone refuses to go after Adelle and gives her safe refuge but goes after MR, then it is not done to uphold International Law on War Crimes. Justice becomes prostituted when selective Justice exist.
Whether it is done by a Govt or an association or an individual who Calls for war crime prosecutions, it is not to uphold Justice.
You and those associations I referred to earlier, are complicit in the War Crimes the LTTE committed because you funded and aided and abetted in those crimes.
You are keeping mum about Adelle because you know it. That is the main reason that Yasmin Sooka and her POE exonerated the LTTE of using a Human Shield because the ICC has Jurisdiction over that Crime (ICC cannot prosecute smaller crimes).
Trinco 5 and ACF 17 is a domestic matter and will be inquired to by the domestic courts or Tribunals where Tamil Judges will also sit in Judgement. Remember that the Chief Justice is a Tamil. However Trinco 5 and ACF 17 is too small a Rag to cover the Crime that Adelle committed and you are protecting. That Red Herring won’t work to cower your Cowardice in discarding the Tamil children of the Vanni like flushing the sanitary pad down the Toilet.
You used them to get you where you are and now has discarded them.
BTW, it is we who chucked MR out, if not for the minority of the majority, MR would still be here. I hope the antics of your CM Wigneswaran and his now famous
“Pirapakaran oru payangaravathiyalla. Avar Thamil Inathin Viduthalikkaaha Poaradiya oru Maha Veeran”
calling the megalomaniac murderer a hero would not diminish that Minority of the majority which will bring MR back to power.
But this is not about SL Politics it is about a Self Confessed War Criminal that you are protecting despite the Fact that she caused the deaths of at least a 100,000 Tamil Children.
Kind Regards,
OTC

Thus either the LTTE escaped any injury or death or the LTTE casualties were dressed up in Civilian clothes before filming the scene. The CH4 commentary was emphasising on the civilian injured.
CH4 is talking about the 100,000 children and their parents killed by the Chemical Bombs of Lankave’s Kandian Sinhala Intellectual army.

I do hope this is a fabricated document for consumption in Sri Lanka’s parliamentary elections, for the UNP to look pro-Sinhala in the eyes of the Sinhalese. How sad that for a party to win the votes of the Sinhalese, they have to, as a minimum, appear to be brutal towards the Tamils.
But given the UN’s record and Ban Ky-Moon’s record of being an apologist for the Sri Lankan state’s war crimes, this could be the actual plan, post- elections. Tamils should not trust the UN.

AN OPEN APPEAL TO TNA”
We have red in the CT and other news media that UN is not prescribing ICC inquiry in the next meeting. Earlier this year, after the EP election, we read in these pages that UN will not be tabling the “Report” in March. Sometime back UN’s internal report was leaked by BBC. It did not blame Nambiar or any officials in the UN for oversight crime of the murder of 145,000. This time, UN’s somersault has been leaked by CH4.
Ambassador Robert Blake said in American Congress that America was cheated after arming the Lanka for the war victory. It is open, now, even for International governments that the Lankan Government did not simply tore off pacts with Tamils, but they did not implement the pact with India by scraping the 13A. After that PM Manmohan declared “if Lankave’s government is not listening to us what we can do for that?” It is in this condition from 2010 to 2012 TNA negotiated with Appe Aanduwa under the pressure of India. Everybody did know that once more nothing happened by a negation from outside pressure only on TNA.
UNP appointed its own lawyers in Vidiya’s case and told the Judge that the government had destroyed all evidences and the case has to be canceled. Emergency and POT law are practically still tearing off Tamil community with fierce teeth. There are everyday a new drama released as “kottiya avila”. There is no witness protection even though there is a 13A like un-implementable law. Within all these, the North that is forcefully separated from the east has been called in to investigate the Genocide against Tamil with UNP. How much moral authority or landscape pervasiveness NPC has to investigate the Genocide that took place on Tamils for 65 years? Further, this is the UNP promised to Old King on the Morning of Jan 8th at Temple Tree House that he can take the UNP offered Helicopter and leave the Manson with confidence as the President of UNP will protect him. The UNP has claimed that they have won the fight against the ICC accord.
We had written in these pages that the UN is ready to sacrifice TNA to prop up UNP. We had said “one Robert Blake for Anathasangari and TULF”, and “one Prince Zeid for Sampanthar and TNA”. TNA will be having real pounding from opponents in this election. Sumanthiran, who gave presentation last year against Ananathi in UN, has switched over his tone to get the attention of the Tamils. Now, he had called for ICC inquiry, but all are suspecting him with the current results.
Whether this is an election stunt by Prince Zaid for south or not, this is an election time blow to TNA. NPC is part of TNA. NPC bound to make decision to get along with the parent organization, the TNA. So my question for TNA is, “is it aware of the leaked documents? Did Sumanthiran or Sampanthar give any approval, anytime for this type arrangement? Don’t they perceive that this type of massive change will be detrimental to Tamils to get their solution for their national question? Don’t they accept that if a satisfying solution can be obtained and, unlike the failed 13A, if that can be enforced, it can be only after an international inquiry? “
Then, my open appeal to TNA is will they inform the Tamil, in North and East, of the looming danger of the inquiry being flopped by UNHRC. Will they follow the suite of the TGTE, which went for the million signature petition to UNHRC? Will they campaign for a mandate from Tamils to have the call for International Inquiry re-installed in UNHRC?
Above and all, will TNA release a public statement to UNHRC, instead of waiting for the September sitting and being too late to reverse the decision that is already taken, their disapproval of an internal inquiry in the absence of a parallel International Inquiry, and their unwillingness of participating an improper internal inquiry?

I think Mr.Kiruba has this time hit the bull’s eye. Drawing the NPC CM into a national debate of international importance against the will of the Sri Lankan Mainstream politics is highly unlikely and sounds absurd.
Anyway such clouds of doubt could be useful to both sides of the election contenders. As in the last presidential polls, the foreign strings seem actively busy this time as well.
It’s like head I win and tail you lose coin toss.Funny people and funny politics.
