Fonseka ‘tortured’ army officers

by admin on Mar.09, 2010, under Sri Lanka

India helped Sri Lankan Army to KILL more than 30,000 Tamil Civilians to get New contracts similar to those currently given to China!

 India Not interested in any Political package to Tamils?

 A senior Foreign Ministry official told Lanka News Web that although the media highlighted that Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao arrived in the country to push for the devolution of power, the visit was in fact aimed at securing several contracts in Sri Lanka for Indian companies. 
 
He said the President was aware of this and limited the discussion on power devolution to a few words and had strategically focused the discussion on providing contracts in Sri Lanka to Indian companies similar to those currently given to China. It is learnt that the President has agreed to give the contract to build the Yal Devi rail track to an Indian company.

Fonseka ‘tortured’ army officers

The Sri Lankan government accuses its former military chief Gen Sarath Fonseka of torturing army officers and soldiers while in office.  Lakshman Hulugalle, the Director General of Media Centre for National Security (MCNS) told BBC Sandeshaya that Gen Fonseka has “taken revenge” from certain officers while he was the commander…………….  http://www.bbc.co.uk/sinhala/news/story/2010/03/100308_fonseka_torture.shtml

Sarath Fonseka to continue his fast: Wife

Colombo: Sri Lanka’s former Army Chief Gen Sarath Fonseka, currently under military custody, has decided to continue his fast despite being provided a telephone to speak to his daughters. Daily Mirror quoted Fonseka’s wife Anoma as saying that her husband had rejected the telephone provided by the Army as he insisted that he would speak to his two daughters, settled abroad, only through her phone. “He is continuing his fast. He will withdraw the fast only if he is allowed to speak to our children through my mobile phone. He does not trust anyone,” it said. …………   http://www.zeenews.com/news609580.html

  UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has personally informed Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, according to media reports in Colombo that he will “name a panel of experts to advise him, the Secretary General, on the way forward on accountability issues related to Sri Lanka.”
Spokesman Martin Nesirky included this information in a March 5 response to questions from Inner City Press, about war crimes, attempted nepotism and the UN’s seeming failure to follow through on the statement that Lynn Pascoe, top UN political advisor, would visit Sri Lanka in February………..   http://www.lankanewsweb.com/news/EN_2010_03_08_001.html

    The wind does not blow always in a certain direction. Time changes for the sole purpose of bringing about improvement and survival in political thinking.

    There are already palpable signs among Western countries in the measures they have taken to clearly define the meaning of war crimes. If the Tamil Diaspora keeps the rolling stones in momentum, it will infuse their aspirations for an independent homeland for indigenous Tamils in Srilanka with direction and strength. A mind set on the task of common good will always give strength to the idea to reach the goal.

    The Srilankan government, immersed in bloody battles and inebriated with war victory over terrorism, has lost sight of right course in political navigation. Unless the Tamil Diaspora develops a language of accord to bring international pressures on such issues as refusal of continued IMF loans and foreign aids tied up with security and sovereignty of indigenous Tamils, any move taken by the Tamil Diaspora will hardly create the conditions for the independent homeland for the Tamils in Srilanka, but only sizzle out.

    Alienation, monetary isolation, embargo on Srilankan goods abroad, strict screening of visa applications of ruling government ministers, military hierarchy or anyone in the military duty, and scaling down of consular Section in Foreign Offices in Srilanka and abroad, investigation into charges of discrimination against the minority citizens in Srilanka and abroad, a very strict screening of High Commission officials before their posing abroad to verify if they have in any stage of their life involved in State terrorism are some of the measures the foreign governments can adopt in sensitizing the Sinhala ruling regime to the past political excesses and instil a code of discipline into its political thinking and framework.

    A rogue can not be a rogue all the time. He has conscience too and his conscience teaches him to open his eyes to his crimes he has committed and mistakes he has made. The flagellation of his own conscience never rests unless it has raised his consciousness to mend his ways of infraction of democratic principles in a society. This is the lesson the ruling Srilankan government is going to learn soon. Anything that happens slowly has a horrendous effect in the end. The Mother Nature reveals her laws to the mind attuned to her language and rhythm.

    If you appreciate the discordant and different views, you build up a strong principled fortress in your mental outlook to deal with any problem. The views different from one’s own are the key to understanding any personal and political problems. They create quantum-based possibilities for one’s own survival. This is the Universal Truth.

    The Tamil Diaspora keeps the torch of independent homeland for Tamils in Srilanka aflame with inspiration.

    THE LOGICAL OPTION- 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.

    We have to carefully separate two issues here. One is rhe general good of the Tamils in Sri Lanka, and the other is the part played by the Tamil militancy group whatever it is. The militancy group is or was not the Tamil community itself, nor the Tamil community is the essence of the militant group. The two are two poles of the called Injustice and discrimination.

    The militant group adopted violence as the tool of achieving the condition for the independent homeland for the Sri Lankan Tamils. But It not only failed, but also decimated the militant group and displaced the Tamils as homeless refugees in their homeland.

    When a certain tool failed to produce the results expected of a system, there are at the disposal of the Tamil community other tools. The one still to be tried is the tool of reconciliation. Reconciliation is not surrender, but a survival mechanism. Certain Tamil Diaspora members, imbedded in the idea of militancy, feel left out and very much hurt by the defeat and decimation of the militant group. Instead of wallowing in the idea of militancy of one sort or another, they have to mount pressure on foreign governments to get involved in the peace process to install peace and harmony as the prerequisite for a meaningful dialogue between the dissenting parties in Sri Lanka.

    History is a muddle of dirty water. Not a single person of worth will ever waste his or her time digging deeper and deeper into the stinking mud. Leave aside Hindu or Saiva religious recantations. They will not solve the problems at hand now.

    Reconciliation and mobility of global voice of democratic governments in power today are the two powerful tools the Tamil Diaspora has to use to bring the rebellious Sri Lankan government to the bargain table.

    Some interesting developments are to impact on the global approach to Sri Lankan Tamil issue. The UN is under pressure from all fronts to proceed with an official inquiry into the crimes Sri Lankan government and Tamil militant group have committed. Another is the strong Chinese presence in Sri Lanka which poses a grave danger to Indian security in the Indian Ocean. India is not going to be an idle duck any more. It is time India woke up from the Sri Lankan sedation and asserted its regional presence. The woes and grievances of the Sri Lankan Tamils are the powerful tools for India to implement corrective measures to ward off Chinese threat to Indian security. Once adopted, this measure will win back the hearts of Tamil Nadu of India.

    From the time of Indra ghandi the Indians used us all for their purpose. The destroyed us because they feared the rise of a community that they thought would afect their soveringty. They are the real witness for the killings of Tamils and they must be forced to provide all the evidence to UN war tribunal and we all must work on that. I will assure you they hold the key that will nail the killers, but due to their misguided political decisions they are no longer a power in asia, that is the reality. they can not compete with China and russia and the threat from pakistan. They will never help us, if they can they will remove us from the globe. with the new colonisation policy singhaleese will be alowed to live and take control of north and east, after that their will not be any traditional home land for tamils.

    As Expected by he Srilanka, India now gave in to the Srilankan typical BLACKMAIL DIPLOMACY using the mighty China to force India to give up all so called Political Solution to Tamils,
    India- the LAUGHING STOCK of the world- soon will fight among themselves and divide into several states.
