\u201cThe folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.\u201d \u2013 per Paul Valery, French philosopher and poet<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dayan\u2019s fusillade<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a barrage of narratives, one after another in rapid succession, Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka has propelled his familiar themes: viz., federal-phobia, fear-mongering about Tamil agenda, glorifying Rajapaksas\u2019 ancien regime, gloating over his 2009 Geneva \u201cfeat\u201d, excoriating \u201cyahapalana\u201d government etc. etc. This write-up appears in the context of Dayan\u2019s fusillade, the latest of which has spotted \u201cThe Federalisation Plot: The Proof<\/a> \u201d (Colombo Telegraph, 28 Oct.2017).<\/p>\n

Dayan has particularly targeted RW-CBK combine allegedly for promoting a Federal solution to the ethnic problem. His visceral hatred for the duo finds expression in his vitriolic verbiage. The irony is that even as Dayan claims to have exposed the \u201cfederalization plot\u201d, the TNA leadership has been pathetically pleading with the government to implement the 13A intact, and help them to save face vis-\u00e0-vis their Tamil constituency.<\/p>\n

Federalism \u2013 Not T<\/strong>reacherous<\/b><\/p>\n

This writer does not hold a brief for RW-CBK doublet or the \u201cyahapalanaya\u201d government. If RW-CBK duo have, now or ever, proposed federalism<\/a>, it is a salutary thing and is wholly welcome. There is nothing blasphemous or treacherous about advocating a federal system to resolve the ethnic issue.<\/p>\n

In fact, that is the most sublime idea. Plot and perfidy are not techniques congruent with a constitution making process. Dayan\u2019s postulation of \u201ca plot and the proof\u201d defies logic. He innocently claims to have proved his discovery \u201cbeyond reasonable doubt.\u201d Interestingly, that is the standard that must be met by the prosecutor in a criminal prosecution. In a civil suit, the proof is on a \u201cbalance of probability.\u201d In any event, the probative value of Dayan\u2019s evidence is a problem. He relies entirely on hearsay evidence \u2013 multiple hearsay at that !. Further, the evidence cited by him says that there would be a country-wide referendum on the Federal Constitution:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, such a solution would have been acceptable to nearly all Tamils and a vast majority of Sinhalese as well. Then, there could have been a referendum\u2026\u2026.\u201d (\u201cThe Federalization Plot: The
\nProof \u201c CT 28 Oct. 2017). If the Federal plan was to be presented to the entire population, including the Sinhala people, at a referendum for them to have the last say, where is the conspiracy Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka? Does not a conspiracy connote subterfuge and secrecy?<\/p>\n

Dayan\u2019s Broadside<\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically, Dayan\u2019s broadside is bifocal: To dislodge the government by hook or by crook and to debilitate the Tamils politically. After their ouster from office in January 2015, Rajapaksas and their cohorts have been hell-bent on recapturing power and are in a hurry to be restored to status quo ante. They believe, quite rightly, that race, religion, federalism, separatism are sexy issues to seduce the Sinhala-Buddhist constituency. With vigour and verve the Rajapaksa camp has been working overtime fomenting racism and creating combustible conditions conducive to an eruption of another Black July.<\/p>\n

\u201cEllam except Eelam\u201d – Premadasa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until the army recaptured Kilinochchi from the LTTE in January 2009, every government leader was ready and willing to strike a compromise with the LTTE on any terms, short of acceding to a separate Eelam. That includes the vociferous professor G.L. Peiris as well. Even Dayan Jayatilleka\u2019s previous patron-saint, President Premadasa, publicly offered to the LTTE, in rhyming words, \u201c Eelam thavira Ellam tharukiren\u201d (\u201cI will give you everything except Eelam\u201d). He was conversant in Tamil. Mr. Sirisena Cooray, Chairman, Premadasa Centre, recalls the Tamil words in his article on Premadasa\u2019s \u201cThe ‘3D’ solution to the north east problem\u201d Premadasa had also recommended an \u201casymmetrical devolution\u201d of power to the Tamils and spelt out the rationale therefor.\u201d (Sunday Leader, 13 July 2008, Vol.15, No.4 ).<\/p>\n

Neither CBK nor RW originally parented the Federal idea as Dayan claims to have proven. Discerning students of politics and essayists have,time and again, recorded the role of SWRD and the Kandyan National Assembly, representing the Kandyan Sinhalese, in espousing a federal system of government in Ceylon. The structure envisaged by the Kandyans included a linguistic Tamil State combining the North-East provinces. Evidently, the Communist Party of Ceylon also had flirted with the federal idea. (Vide: Daily Mirror, 24 Sept. 2015 \u2013\u201cSWRD stood for maximum devolution and Proposed Federalism\u201d by K.K.S.Perera ; The Island, 24 Sept. 2016 -\u201cSWRD Bandaranaike and the paradox of Sri Lankan Federalism\u201d by Rajan Philips )<\/p>\n

S.J.V. Chelva & Federal Party<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. S.J.V. Chelvanayakam (Chelva) founded the Federal Party – Ilankai Thamil Arasu Kadchi, in Tamil (FP) on 18 Dec. 1949 and sought the mandate of the Tamil people for pursuing the goal of a linguistic state in a federal Sri Lanka. FP suffered a humiliating defeat at the 1952 elections.<\/p>\n

Even Chelva himself lost his seat at KKS. The federal concept did not resonate with the Tamil constituency at that time. At 1956 elections, even as SWRD\u2019s MEP overwhelmingly won in the South, the FP romped home with a resounding victory in the North-East provinces. Ever since, to this day, at every subsequent election – with the only exception of 1977 election – the FP or the FP-led bloc has increasingly obtained massive mandate from the Tamil people to pursue its Federal objective. At the 1977 election the TULF coalition (including the FP) fought and won on a \u201cSeparate Eelam\u201d platform.<\/p>\n

The commitment and conviction of the Tamil people are so strong that they have consistently voted for a \u2018Federal state\u2019 solution.<\/p>\n

Tamil people have made their choice. They want a linguistic Tamil State encompassing the Tamil habitats of the North-East provinces within the Federal Republic of Sri Lanka. Dr.Dayan Jayatilleka and his ilk may have to choose not between \u201c13-minus\u201d and federalism, but between Federalism and Separatism.<\/p>\n

\u201cSinhala Only\u201d Slogan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Post-1956, this country had endured recurrent ethnic violence, bloodletting, a Black July, deaths, destruction, chaos, carnage and foreign (Indian) intervention before the Sinhala leadership could realize that \u201cSinhala Only<\/a>\u201d slogan was an unmitigated disaster. Indeed, the country had paid a heavy price. It took two decades for the wilfully blind leadership to wake up on the language issue.<\/p>\n

How long will it take \u2013 and at what cost \u2013 before Dayan and his bedfellows wake up? When will they stop their demagoguery, demonizing the Tamils \u2013 and by extension, the Federalists ?<\/p>\n

Dayan\u2019 Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Rajapaksas\u2019 passionate pursuit, Dayan is not only akin to a missionary, but truly a visionary as well, in that, he is one among those advisors who plan the Rajapaksas\u2019 future with imagination and wisdom. That is because, Dayan\u2019s own future is intricately intertwined with Rajapaksas\u2019 future. His agenda is to promote Gotabaya Rajapaksa<\/a> as President and Mahinda as Prime Minister. And, perhaps in return for his services, he hopes to find a niche for himself – maybe as a Foreign Minister or an Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in a Western\/European capital. One cannot grudge his ambition or ability. Dayan has an incisive mind and mastery of the equivocal diplomatic language. On the other hand, Rajapaksas have the pelf in plenty and political clout. It is a formidable combo. Dayan and his patrons are resourceful and powerful. Given the current Sinhala\u2013Buddhist mood, thanks to the yucky record of the yahalpalanayas, Rajapaksas\u2019 ambitious agenda does not seem wholly a fantasy.<\/p>\n

In a way, Dayan is to Rajapakses what Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was to Henry VIII of Tudor England. It was said of Cardinal Wolsey that he was \u201cfeared more than he was loved and, in fact, he was loved by none.\u201d But, in Dayan\u2019s case he is feared by all for his friendship with Gotabaya and loved by Mahinda for his Machiavellian traits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
