TNA and Congress ‘misleading voters’, says EPDP

  • A solution based on the ‘Oslo Agreement’  -TNA (Tamil National Alliance) 

  • Implementation of the Vaddukoddai Resolution – ACTC (All Ceylon Tamil Congress).

  • Strengthen the hand of President Mahinda Rajapaksa – EPDP (Eelam People’s Democratic Party)

Proposals put forward by the Tamil National Alliance and the All Ceylon Tamil Congress in their election manifestos were part of an attempt to prevent their alienation from LTTE sympathizers and extremist Diaspora, EPDP political spokesperson, M. Stalin said. He was commenting on the TNA announcement that they were proposing a solution based on the ‘Oslo Agreement’ of December 2002 while the ACTC had demanded the implementation of the Vaddukoddai Resolution. While hoping that their proposals would not alienate themselves from the expatriate LTTE sympathisers, the EPDP spokesperson said.
“We call upon the Tamil people to give up the destructive confrontational politics of the past and be practical to strengthen the hand of President Mahinda Rajapaksa so that they may have the right to be stakeholders of the next Government and solve their day to day problems and political aspirations,” ……….. http://www.island.lk/2010/03/08/news9.html

LTTE proxies searching for Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran

The government is concerned that some umbrella organizations of the LTTE are still trying to trace their leader LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran and the matter has been discussed with India, the government said. Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama conveyed these concerns at a meeting held with Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao today.

Minister Bogollagama also informed Rao that Sri Lanka would continue to be vigilant and engage in countering measures against terrorism to protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country.  “We discussed terrorism and the continuous need for us to be vigilant in counter terrorism measures. I shared with the Indian Foreign Secretary our concerns in the international front in the lines on which some of the umbrella organizations of the LTTE are still trying to trace their head,” Minister Bogollagama told journalists.

    UN REFERENDUM is the BEST OPTION for Eelam People
    Hi Karuppen,
    One cannot see any difference between the Indo Srilankan Propaganda against Tamil liberation struggle by dividing LTTE and Tamils.
    Indian trained militant groups- EPDP, EPRLF, PLOTE, TELO, etc- have been killing Tamils while LTTE target only SINHELLa Military and Police without harming even Sinhalese people- Almost all Sinhala victims were killed by either Srilankan Military and Police or Srilankan and Indian aided Paramilitaries in order to blame the Tigers as terrorists, NO WONDER THE SRILANKA REFUSE and SABOTAGE ANY INVESTIGATION of ANY KILLING of CIVILIAN to save their Terrorist Military and Paramilitaries.
    If LTTE militancy failed, so did the Democratic Politics by the Tamil polity since 1915 to 1976.
    So, according to your theory, both failed, don’t go back to where we were.
    In my view, We must not go back to militancy anymore but take a leaf from the EAST TIMOR Liberation struggle and work for UN REFERENDUM in EELAM to decide the WILL of TAMILS and MUSLIMS of the island while making the NAZI SRILANKAN BANKRUPT like the world did to SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID NAZI REGIME.
    By supporting the DICTATORS MAHINDA & BROS Butchers, we are doing diservice to Sinhalese people also because they are at the receiving end of Terrorism by the BUTCHERS now.
    We have to synchronize all Tamil bodies and Tamils with Muslims to fight peacefully and democratically to put pressure to the international community to allow UN REFERENDUM in EELAM. As it is democratic way, No country can veto the referendum.
    As per the USELESS Indian Congress Mules ruling India UNFORTUNATELY, India can never ever challenge the Mighty Chinese anymore, China CHECKMATED the WILLING VICTIM INDIA and IMPRISONED the India within its Natural borders. NEXT LOGICAL PREDICTION WILL BE IMPLODING INDIA INTO PIECES as THEY WERE BEFORE THE BRITISH.
    Don’t Bet on SINKING INDIAN SHIP. India no more a power let alone a regional power.
    Only an insane will hope India will help Eelam Tamils while India cannot even CONDEMN the SRILANKAN NAVY klllings of Indian Fishermen.

    IF THE USA STOP FUNDING the ISRAEL, ISRAEL WILL THINK ABOUT RECONCILIATION WITH PALESTINIANS.
    THE SAME APPLIES TO THE NAZI SRILANKA, WHEN SRILANKA MADE BANKRUPT, SRILANKA WILL TALK PEACE.
    As per reconciling with NAZI Srilanka even after 62 years of Ethnic Cleansing of Minorities and Genocide of Tamils with CONCENTRATION CAMPS of more than 300,000 Tamils, and still ongoing Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide in all over the island, IF ANYONE ADVOCATE RECONCILIATION WITH SINHELLA NAZI TERRORIST SRILANKA, I WILL TELL THEM TO LOOK AT THE DESPERATE SITUATION OF POOR PALESTINIANS BY USA AND WEST DOING THE SAME HELP TO ISRAEL DESPITE ISRAEL DOING THE GENOCIDE AND ALL ATROCITIES AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS,
    We Tamils must not allow the Srilanka to Prsoper and do the same like Israel to kill all Tamils and Muslims,
    Srilanka – with all the DEBTS- adamant on Sinhala NAZISM – will do worse tahn now if they are allowed to be richer than now,
    CUT OFF THE BLOOD STREAM of SINHELL ANZISM by Cutting of the ECONOMY allowing them to fund the NAZi SInhELLA terrorist military, then they cannot do the Sinhella terrorism against Minorities and will talk peace.
    ONLY A DEAD SINHELLA RACIST is the Best thing on the Earth.
    PLEASE DON’t GIVE POLLU to SINHELLA racists with your own money to be beaten by the same POLLU.

    Hi P John,
    As per Hinduism, Hinduism is not a SINGLE religion as the India never been a SINGLE COUNTRY before the British came there.
    HINDUISM is an UMBRELLA of several religions and SAIVAM is one of them and the OLDEST. SAIVAM itself named after SIVA. Please don’t use SHIVA because the Aryan took H out of THAMIL and PUT the H in SHIVA to make both alien to THAMILS.
    SIVAPPU – In Sanskrit they translated RUDRA meaning RED- SIVA.
    Thamil civilisation FLOURISHED in SINTHU VELLI(now in Pakistan where they desstroyed mosy of them and India don’t care cos the civilisation belonged to Thamils)
    Then the ARYAN invaded and imposed their version of SAIVAM – called HINDUSIM- by using the KRISHNA as the MAIN God – VAISHNAVAM.
    Now, we Tamils also wrongly believe that We are Hindus but they know we are not Hindus and support the Sihella terrorist Srilanka.
    The HINDUISM promote the Krishna as the Main God whose behaviour the right opposite to the Tamil culture of ONE MAN ONE WIFE and HINDUSIM keep the GOD Siva as the DESTROYER.
    RAMAYANA itself created to HUMILIATE and DESTROY SAIVAISM and SAIVAM by fabricated stories against the SAIVA TAMIL KING RAVANAN and even called the TAMILS as MONKEYS in Ramayana.
    It is a LONG STORY.
    As per the reconciliation with NAZI Sin-Hella racist Srilanka, who show no remorse at all for all the Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide and still justifying, celeberating the Genocide as CONTINUOUS Victory celebrations and ESCALATED ETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE in Vanni MAINLAND as I write this moment, Then IN WHAT TERM Tamils can reconcile with the barbaric Bucthers ruling the island???????
    In the history of the world, If we look at the two NAZI racist terrorist regimes- SOUTH AFRICAN WHITE APARTHEID REGIME and USA and West Funded Terror state Israel, We can detect that ONLY PRESSURE and BANKRUPTCY of the South Africa made them to COME CLEAN on Peace BUT ISRAEL STILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE AND NOW EVEN IF THE WEST WANTED, THEY CANNOT FORCE THE ISRAEL TO COME CLEAN ON PEACE AS ISRAEL NOW A NUCLEAR POWER.
    The same logic applies to the NAZI Srilanka whose ECONOMY must be broken beyond repair to amke

    Unless a certain section of Tamil Diaspora, still imbedded in militancy idea, free their mind from the shackles of militancy, the Tamils in Sri Lanka will never have a chance of realizing their freedom for an independent homeland in Sri Lanka.

    Hello Vani:

    The militancy idea, translated by LTTE into action, not only failed but also has exposed the whole Tamil civilians to a stateless condition in Sri Lanka today. Those who have witnessed the genocide of innocent Tamils in 2009 will NEVER float this idea again. Once is more than enough to say NEVER AGAIN. Even if those voicing their indirect militant support will experience the same result by exposing the Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka again to another genocide or exodus of Tamils from Sri Lanka.

    It is easy to entertain the militant idea against majority Singhalese community. It was thought that India would hurry to support the Tamils by extending deterrence against Sri Lanka on its war on LTTE and Tamils civilians. The reality was to the opposite: Decimation of LTTE, displacement of innocent Tamils, the present stateless condition of Tamils, etc.

    Tamil politicians in Sri Lanka have to field in their efforts in wielding a joint democratic voice for the reinstatement of basic human rights of Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka. Tamils or their political representatives ARE NOT IN A STRONG POSITION to make any deal of their own with the Singhalese government today. When you position is weak, you have to learn to refrain from exposing the innocent Tamils to further genocide. This is the old wisdom of surviving. This is the gist of my writings.

    Today the art of communication has refined to such as a level as to incorporate the powerful human values into the issues troubling a society. That communication is RECONCILIATION with your enemy.

    Mr Karuppen, It seems you are a very good writer, but it may be a good idea to write these comments in Sinhalese websites. Perhaps you can write comments for the ant Tamil articles which are published in some Sinhalese websites.
    I hope you read the following article in this website.
    http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2010/03/from-barbaric-buddhism-to-civilized.html.
    Thanks.

    My answer to Vami’s comments:
    I do not write any articles to any Singhalese web sites nor am interested in pretending to write any anti Tamil articles to any news media. That is not the purpose in my articles.

    If accusation does not level to the commission of an act, it clearly shows a mind still growing, but not fully grown, through experimenting with its own fancy ideas.

    Everybody has the right to air his or her ideas. I do not expect anybody to concur with expression of my ideas nor do I agree with anybody if I see the other side of the argument more tenable and more meaningful.

    Your writings clearly show the readers how you poorly conduct yourself with informing yourself of the poly-sided argument of an idea that defies solution on a grand scale. Democracy is a basic right of each and every human being to disagree with others. A thing has more than one life just as an idea has more than one face.

    Whether my writings appeal to a fragment of Tamil Diaspora or not is not the issue here. The issue is the continued search for a lasting solution to the artificial problems the Tamil community in Sri Lanka face today.

    All the major achievements in life hide a simple fact. If you find it, you can win the whole world.

    He is saying that Sri Lankan government is holding sent ex-Ltte combatants’ families as hostages and threaten them to kill them if they do not co-operate with the government to identify the people who have/had links with LTTE. The ex-ltte carders -re-trained by Sri Lankan government and sent to Europe and West to dismantle the Diaspora Tamil organisations and their political work. A good example is Vanni MP Mr Kanagaratnam who was forced to support to Mahinda Rajapaksa and now switched to his party and standing as a candidate for Rajapaksa’s party. Sri Lankan government is holding his family as hostage and forced him to switch party. Another example the three doctors who served in the warzone, were forced to change their statement in press meeting. Basically, Tamils were forced to become ‘traitors’ and some are being bought by the Sri Lankan government in Sri Lankan and in overseas.
