Sri Lanka Unmoved by ‘WAR CRIME’ Lobbyist

The government says senior officials will continue with their overseas visits as scheduled despite the threat posed by War Crime lobbyists in the west. Government Defence Spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella said that despite the LTTE being defeated militarily by the army, the Tamil diaspora continued to function overseas, posing a threat to the government ministers. However Rambukwella said that despite such threats, the government would continue their official visits overseas in order to strengthen its international ties.

“We had a threat even when the LTTE was active in the country. However they were wiped out by the army. We will not back out from traveling overseas just because of the War Crime lobbyists,” Rambukwella said. According to media reports the Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the UN, Dr. Palitha Kohona has blamed the LTTE lobbyists for postponing his visit to Canada where he was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the Toronto University. Media reports said that Margaret McKone, Executive Director at the University said the planned lecture had to be postponed pending a standard ‘security assessment’.

Well done to the team produced the film,
We Tamils have the best product but we still not grsp the ways to sell it to achieve our goals.
Even one produced the best product in the world, he/she cannot sell that without proper adverts.
Like US Tamils, despite NAZI Srilanka have been doing ETHNIC CLEANSING, GENOCIDE, RAPES, STARVING Tamils to deatf.Killing journalists and MPs to hide truth, etc, etc, We still not selling those properly nor we talk in same HYMN sheet.
UKTAMILNEWS and Tamil websites allow Srilankan spies to infiltrate and divide Tamils opinion like GTV and other radio station allows to divide Tamils, The Srilankan Envoy Hamsa and Srilankan spies in 24 hours work in the UK and in the west to do these divide and destroy Tamils,
If I go to Srilankan Sinhala websites like THE LANKA ACADAMIC, they jsut ban me as soon as I condemn the NAZI Srilanka but UKTAMNILNEWS continue to allow thses sort of divisive messgae
WE MUST SYNCHRONIZE AND SING IN SAME HYMN SHEET.

Tamil Diaspora never advocate another armed struggle but Srilankan government missing the LTTE to blame all the killings on them and get away with all;

The ways to Make the NAZI Srilanka to come clean on Peace
1)amils Boycott all NAZI Srilankan products and demand the shops to clear all the Products from the Sin_Hella terrorist evil POLPOTS running jungle called Srilanka
2)Persuade the western consumers, by well organised and professional manner, to boycott all Srilankan made items on M&S, Tesco, etc
3)Persuade the Westerners to stop the GENOCIDE TOURISM to the NAZI Srilanka
4)Openl textlie factories in Tamils living countriles like Malysia, Reunion, South Africa, etc to make cheaper than the NAZ Srilankan made tectlies, by doing so, we can achieve two things, first tamils benefit out of the projects and Western companies will VOTE WITH THERIR FEET to cheaper items.
5) Undermine all Srilankan exports wherever they go and destroy their exports altogether.
India and China also exports, they cannot be consumers.
then the NAZI Sin-hella SICK barbaric rulers will have no money to fund their NAZi terrorist military and beg for peace as South African Aprthied regime did.

We Tamils have no problem reconciling with remorseful srilanka but Srilanka doing the DEAD OPPOSITES but karuppen and P John living in CLOUD CUCKKOLAND and dreaming in BROAD DAYLIGHT.

Hello Yoganathan,

This is in response to your post addressed to P John and me.

I, for my part, do not live in CLOUD CUCKKOLAND and dream in BROAD DAYLIGHT nor do I dream about any an overnight solution to the plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka.
Whether it be the Sri Lankan Tamil politicians or Tamils in Sri Lanka or Tamil Diaspora, they are not in a strong position to make any deal of their own with the ruling Singhalese government in power today. They have to bridge the gap by amicable ways acceptable to both dissenting parties.

A certain fragment of Tamil Diaspora is not happy with having already seen the genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka. Their combative instincts seek ways to revive militancy idea into action to create genocide of Tamils. It seems that they have not learnt from the past experience.

They do not even realize that a solution is to the problems that the Sri Lankan Tamils face today, not for their problems abroad.

If you the militant Tamil Diaspora mobilize another war machine, it will surely end up with the total exodus of Tamils from Sri Lanka.

If existential politics does not appeal to you, be happy with promoting your militancy idea.

Taste the sweetness of your militancy idea and be satisfied with the demise of an ethnicity.

I agree with P John’s meaningful remarks. They are very simple to understand.

All my writings and posts are targeted towards a search for a peaceful solution to the grievances and agony the Tamils in Sri Lanka face today. We are more concerned with the root causes for the present condition rather than the agents who created this situation for the Sri Lankan Tamils.

When the UN official inquiry or the US initiative into Sri Lankan war crimes proceed, it will bring to the International War Crime Court not only the Sri Lankan President Mr Mahinda Rajapakse, his military hierarchy, but also all the surviving LTTE combatants, cadres and the Australian nurse wife of the late LTTE political wing advisor Mr Balasingam who handed out cyanide pills to child solders in combat zones during trainings in Sri Lanka. The lady lives in Surrey, England. She should be brought along with others before the International War Crime Court to face charges against humanity.

When justice knocks on your door, it never discriminates against anybody and its noise is loud enough to muffle the other moaning.

Nothing is more appealing to a disturbed human mind other than seeing another human life wallowing in pain and suffering before it loses its life.

The present plight of Sri Lankan Tamils is the result of a certain fragment of Tamil Diaspora who funded the combative manoeuvres through a war machine called LTTE against the helpless Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka. An ethnicity glowed with its fine human values, the Tamils in Sri Lanka have lost their glamour by the exposure to war they did not wage against the majority Singhalese government in Sri Lanka. Now is the time Tamil Diaspora refrained from funding further genocide through any war machines. Free your mind from combative instincts and mould a policy of co-existence with the majority Singhalese. The time has come to discover the art of reconciliation.

Pretension will never help you free your mind. Do not pretend to yourself.

There is no other option for the survival of Tamil identity in Sri Lanka than an amicable reconciliation. To realize it, the Tamil politicians should create the climate for the workable platform through TRUST. Give it a chance to work out and it will enlist the global support of democratic governments in power today. Democracy defines its existence through creating its roots in volatile spots where peace is the escaping culprit.

The decimation of war machine LTTE and its shadow combatant roots have created a situation where a strong negotiation for peace is the antidote for the present situation the Tamils in Sri Lanka face today.

Luxury produces self-forgetfulness, but pain and suffering awaken the mind to a search for survival.

Jaffna, Sri Lanka (CNN) — Raveendran Jenatha doesn’t exude the kind of excitement and wonder young adults often do when it comes to figuring out their future. She is 21 years old and confident about what her future holds. ”Nothing,” she said softly. Raveendran Jenatha is sure she has no future because of her past and what it has done to her. “Now I can’t do anything. That is the only problem,” she said. Then her sweet smile and confident tone broke, and she burst out in a moaning sob. Through her tears, she sputtered: “I need help for everything.”

I read this article with remorse and a tinge of pain in my heart.

This is the situation the Sri Lankan war has created. The post traumatic disorders are very rampant among war victims. A condition of seclusion becomes as a prerequisite for freeing the mind from the tormenting pain and suffering.

Hello, young lady. Brush up and wipe the tears from your eyes. Nobody can steal your life. Your life is within YOURSELF. Always within YOURSELF. The situation is going to change soon. Already there are signs of a rolling stone gathering momentum. Keep up the flame of hope in your heart.

Life condition for Tamils in Sri Lanka is going to change soon.

I agree with P John to his proposing an idea of smooth talk.

A certain fragment of Tamil Diaspora, out of their cosy situation, has supported a cult to survive through propagating violence against the majority Singhalese government. The recent Sri Lankan war has clearly shown that those being supportive of combative manoeuvres were deeply entrenched in a combative policy at the disposal of security of Sri Lankan Tamils. Not only has the war displaced the Tamils to the present stateless and pathetic condition in their own country but also whittled down the collective identity of Tamil community.

It is imperative that Tamil political parties, irrespective of their differences, should cultivate an order of communication with the dissenting majority Singhalese political leaders in power today. Difference of opinion serves as a strong platform to identify unity in a collective voice. This is RECONCILIATION without losing communication. It is a good sign that TNA has dropped its nagging claim for an independent homeland for Tamils in Sri Lanka. Anything revolved from the democratic platform has the charm of welcoming the support of democratic nations in power today. If the collective voice of the democratic nations gains momentum, it can tilt the scale in favour of an amicable solution to the grievances of Tamils in Sri Lanka. Even the UN can not sit back for fear of losing its face in the global politics navigation. The UN was created to solve the problems of global community through peaceful means, but not to be a voiceless organ of a spectator to the sight of commission of genocide of global citizens, the displacement of their simple happy life, and usurpation of their basic human rights to live as a human.

In all my writings and posts I have made it clear that RECONCILIATION is the only powerful weapon Tamils have today to draft a policy of survival in the history of their ethnic integrity in Sri Lanka.

One has to learn to reconcile oneself with one’s own differences before one marches forward to reconcile with others.

Luxury may fail to show its charm, but the pain and suffering of a community never fail to assert their claim for a social justice.

War does not decide who is right, but who is left.

War is the result of a failed policy of reconciliation.

Revenge is just like fire. Just as the fire destroys the wood, revenge will destroy life.

The only means of survival is to seek ways to diffuse knots of tension in relationship with others, be it an individual or a community.

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.

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.
