I read an interesting article in The LankaWeb.
I am posting excerpts with my comments.
Th first assumption they make that Buddhism is inherent to Sri Lanka.
If so, it should have been , as it is,from India.
That implies that there were no living beings in Sr Lanka till then, which is not a fact.
In the same article it says Sri Lanka has been invaded from 2 BC.
True, equally true is that the original SriLanka dynasty, according to MahaVamsa, of Sri Lanka was established by the offspring of Kalinga Prince.(Orissa)
So Sri Lanka owes its existence to India and by the same logic, a part of India!
Ridiculous.
“(a) They deliberately refused to recognize Tamils in Sri Lanka as Sri Lankan citizens. Instead they identified them as Tamils based on their race. Thus racism is the basis of their strategy.”
Yes.
This phenomena is not noticed before the period of Bandarakaike and the sufferings of the Tamils’, nay the citizens of Sri Lanka,became Public.
India does not need an elaborate strategy to conqueror Sri Lanka.
”
(b) They bred, nurtured, trained and deployed terrorist outfit called LTTE with the direct involvement of Indian Central Government to fight against Sri Lankan government.
(c) They pressurized the Central Government of India to intervene in Sri Lanka and settle so called ethnic problem which was infact created by themselves in connivance with Central Government of India.
(d) They set T.N.A. as their proxy in Sri Lanka to carryout their mission.
(e) They also launched a massive campaign in pro-Eelam countries in the West in the pretext of campaigning to protect human rights of Tamil Community in Sri Lanka. They use Tamil diaspora for this purpose.”
LTTE was not brought about by India.
True, India did train LTTE.
When?
When The Tamils were being killed by Sri Lanka and after, despite, International communities to talk to the Tamils, Si Lanka refused to do so.
True India raised the issue at International Forum.
So are the other Nations,US,Canada, Australia.
”
It was a fact that the Peace Accord was imposed over Sri Lankan government under duress. Neither Parliament nor the people of this country demanded such an Accord. The LTTE also rejected the Peace Accord. Sri Lankan President J.R.J was compelled to accept and sign it due to intimidation caused and duress imposed by sending Indian Air Force Jets over Sri Lankan airspace. It was imposed so hastily, neither Parliament nor the general public of Sri Lanka were given an opportunity to raise their views on it. Obligations to be fulfilled on the part of the Indian government and the LTTE as set out in the Accord were never honoured.
There was a provision in the Accord that the LTTE should surrender arms kept in their possession within 72 hours after signing the Accord and all parties should cease hostilities within 48 hours. Sri Lankan Forces were ordered to be confirmed to the barracks. Moreover the Indian government has ensured that Peace will be definitely restored in Sri Lanka.
Those obligations were never honoured. Instead, the LTTE was continued to strengthen its armoury and intensified attacks immediately after the Accord against Sri Lankan Forces who were in contrast ordered to be confined to barracks. The IPKF which was brought in to combat had become a total failure. As a result, the Indian government was compelled to withdraw the IPKF and abandon the Peace Accord unilaterally. Accordingly, the Peace Accord become an Accord non-existent. So that how can they say repealing the 13A would cause a violation of the Peace Accord which is non-existent.
The next component of the Peace Package is the 13th Amendment to the Constitution imposed over Sri Lanka so hastily. This is also a unilateral proposal which was formulated and drafted without consulting the Sri Lankan government by Indian government ex-parte. Provincial Council Act No. 42 of 1987 is the outcome of 13th Amendment.’
Sri Lanka did not approve the Accord.
In the same breath, there is a complaint that the LTTE did not fulfill the terms of the accord!
Sri Lanka seems to deny any agreement by saying that it does not have the backing of the people.
What do you have there?
Government or some wayward signing papers which mean nothing?
If so, why did Sri Lanka accept aid from foreign Governments signed by the same Government?
The comments on 13th Amendment are laughable.
Finally if The Tamils are the citizens of Sri Lanka, why massacre them in lakhs?
Not to forget the fact that the LTTE was wiped out by the help in intelligence and hardware by India.
