  • Tamils Win SriLanka Election Divert Genocide

    The win by the Tamil Party in the Northern Provincial Council is a ploy to divert the accusation against the Rajapakshe ,Sri Lanka Government from the charge of Genocide of the Tamils.

    Tamil Genocide.
    Sri Lanka Genocide of Tamils

    This is voiced by a Tamil leader of Sri Lanka ,

    Arguing that the Northern Provincial Council elections was not conducted for the interests of the Eezham Tamil nation but rather was coordinated by the US-Indian establishments for diverting the attention of the world from the genocide taking place, Umar, activist with the May 17 Movement, stated that the vote of the Eezham Tamils for the TNA was cast against the genocidal Sri Lankan state. Without considering this, some are interpreting the vote as being against the demand of Tamil Elam and a legitimization of unitary Sri Lanka”

    It also appears that the party that has won the elections seems to be maintaining a studied silence on the Genocide issue.

    The Tamil Groups, as usual, are speaking in multiple voices.

    While  one group , the one that has won the elections, seems to go soft on Rajapakshe Government, post-election,another Group maintains that the victory is due to the Displaced Tamils in US and elsewhere and are voicing a hard-line approach to the Genocide issue.

    One group insists on a unitary Government, another in the Federal set up with more powers short of a separate Nation, Elam,yet another wants nothing than separate Elam.

    Contrary to what one has expected, that of trying to alleviate the sufferings of the Tamils in Sri Lanka every one seems to be engaged in one up-manship, which has the root cause for the failure to prevent the Tamil Genocide and realization of Tamil Elam.

    Rajapakshe, quietly used this opportunity to get a Bill passed empowering the Government to grab any land, a move which was scuttled by a Supreme Court Judge, who was impeached,, a Supreme Court Judge was installed and the The passage of the Bill was felicitated.

    The Government is emboldened by the bickering to such an extent that it has announced it was not bothered about Navaneetham Pillai’s Report of Genocide.

    “The Sri Lankan government on Sunday said it would not accept UN Rights Chief Navy Pillai’s deadline to make progress on its rights accountability record.

    The country’s Foreign Secretary Karunatillake Amunugama said the government would according to its own plan. “We will submit our progress to the next March session of the UNHRC. We have already completed most of the points raised by her while some of it cannot be implemented,” he said.

    UN High Commissioner of Human Rights Pillay told the UNHRC that Sri Lanka has failed to show progress on its rights accountability record. If it fails to improve the record by March next year it could lead to an international inquiry.”

    Sri Lanka has already figured in two UNHRC resolutions.

    In a curious twist Navi Pillai watered down her earlier report on Genocide that,In this Update, she commends the excellent cooperation extended by the government. She gives credits to the impressive human rights achievement by the government with the help of the international community. She says that vast majority of the internally displaced persons had been settled another instance of achievement by the government. She is pleased that the government has taken the initiative to invite the Special Rapporteur from UN.

    She thinks that the recent elections to the Northern Provincial Council will bring about better devolution of power. On the large military presence in Tamil areas, compulsory acquisition of private land and the role of military in civilian areas, she contends that all these are not simple and straightforward issues that could be resolved overnight. She thinks that these are complex issues that would have to be tackled through the initiatives of the various responsible ministries. Of all the internal mechanisms, she praises the LLRC. She is pleased that the government has accepted a number of its recommendations; for instance, the separation of the police from the Ministry of Defense. Touching on LTTE, she said that the outfit should be held responsible for war crimes.

    Navi Pillay does not talk about the mass killings of Tamils during the last stages of the war. More than 100,000 Tamils were mercilessly killed by the Sri Lankan troops. Is she blind to this episode? While she talks about the intimidation of minorities, she avoids even mentioning the mass murder of Tamils. If she can gloss over such an incontrovertible fact, then she must definitely have a particular agenda in talking about human rights in Sri Lanka.

    She mentions about the LTTE in relation to war crimes. What about the murderous Sinhala regime that decimated hundreds and thousands of Tamils with the support of the international community. Who raped hundreds of Tamil women? What about the thousands of Tamil prisoners languishing in prisons without any form of support? She praises the recent elections for the Northern Provincial Council, but what about the systematic attacks against candidate Ananthi?”

  • New Mass Grave Video In Sri Lanka War Crime

    I feel sick when I post on the sufferings of the Tamils in Sri Lanka, next only to Hitler‘s ‘Final Solution Efforts’

    I have posted some gruesome images/Videos/videos.

    Now the list is getting longer.

    A new Mass grave has been unearthed in Vadamarachchi.

    “The occupying Sri Lanka Army (SLA) in Vadamaraadchi in Jaffna has warned the original house-owners of a recently released former SLA camp-site at Pallappai at the heart of Vadamaraadchi, not to dig the wells at the site where 52 houses had been seized by the SL military for more than 14 years since 1999. The main camp of the SLA 524 was situated at Pallappai. A few days ago, SL military personnel who blocked the owners of a house from renovating their well, recovered human skeletons of 16 to 18 victims and instructed the owners not to reveal the details to media or human rights groups. More than 100 victims have been buried inside another public well that has been filled up by the SL military, the villagers say.

    In the meantime, an SLA commanding officer has also confirmed to a media source in Colombo on condition of anonymity that a Tamil journalist, Subramaniyam Ramachandran, reported missing in 2007, was slain and dumped inside an abandoned well in the vicinity of the Pallappai 524 base. 87 and 90 years old parents of the missing journalist have been struggling for years to learn the whereabouts of their only son.

    Around 2,000 youth were reported missing in Jaffna alone between 1996 and 2009.

    When the SLA seized Jaffna in 1996, it had put up several camps in Vadamaraadchi. The main base controlling Vadamaraadchi was the 524 camp, which was situated inside the Point Pedro harbour.

  • Navaneetham Pillai Indicts Sri Lanka Human Rights ,UN Report

    Navaneetham Pillai. the Human Rights Commissioner, after a visit to Sri Lanka to study the ground realities post Civil War, Post-LTTE era.

    Tamils Raped in Sri Lanka.
    Tamils Raped in Sri Lanka.

    Her Press briefing on 31 August , 2012 was candid to such an extent that the Sri Lanka Government was forced to protest that she exceeded her brief.

    She was earlier abused by the Government and the Sri Lanka Media , calling her ‘Tamil Tigress‘, accusing her of bias, raking her Tamil origins.

    Story:

    Sri Lanka refutes:

    ”

    Issuing a statement, the Govt information department says that she is only an agent of a Civil organization, hence she cannot make such statements regarding Sri Lanka.

    Govt has issued this statement with regards to the statements made by Ms. Navi Pillay at the media meeting held on the 31st in Colombo, in conclusion of her week’s tour in Sri Lanka.

    The complete statement is as follows..

    President Rajapakshe apologised for his minister’s out burst against her earlier.

    Her report, as stated  by her in the Press Meet , in short, is as under.

    1.Developmental activities. post the civil war , is sluggish and definitely not as it had been portrayed by the Government of Sri Lanka.

    2.The Missing Persons of Tamil area are not being investigated.

    3.Tamil women are being molested and no visible action.

    3.The Military, even after four years of the conflict coming to a close, still has an iron grip, on the Tamil areas, hampering return of Normalcy.

    The presence of Military in the North East is worrying.

    4.The Military is controlling areas where it has no business, like Education, Agriculture.

    5.The Military is grabbing private Tamil lands for converting them into barracks, with no compensation.

    6.Systematic racist attacks are being carried out against Tamils and Muslims.

    As a parting shot, she said,

    ““I am deeply concerned that Sri Lanka, despite the opportunity provided by the end of the war to construct a new vibrant, all-embracing state, is showing signs of heading in an increasingly authoritarian direction,” Pillai said, a remark that was to be broadcast around the world in minutes.”

    Well, that’s pretty candid and accuses Sri Lanka, in real softer terms, its Genocidal and Ethnic cleansing Policies!

    Sri Lanka Refutes:

    ”

    On the opening remarks by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms Navanetham Pillay at the Press Conference on 31 August, 2013

    The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms Navanetham Pillay was on a week-long visit to Sri Lanka on an invitation extended by the Government of Sri Lanka in April 2011. This invitation is a part of Sri Lanka’s consistent engagement with the UN System.

    As is well known, the High Commissioner’s visit to Sri Lanka was extensive, which she herself has described, as the longest ever country visit undertaken in her current position. The GOSL provided unfettered access for the High Commissioner to meet all those whom she sought to engage with, besides providing briefings on the part of the GOSL, on the continuing post conflict developments, a fact that she has acknowledged.

    It is significant to note the High Commissioner’s acknowledgement of the true nature of the LTTE, and her call to those in the diaspora, who continue to revere the memory of the LTTE, to recognize that there should be no place for the glorification of such a ruthless Organization.

    While noting that the High Commissioner has paid respects “to all Sri Lankans across the country who were killed during those three decades of conflict”, a disturbing fact that emerged during the visit, which had also come up during her media conference, was the surreptitious effort made by the visiting delegation to pay a floral tribute during the visit to Mullivaikkal. It was pointed out by the Sri Lankan side to the OHCHR delegation that if such a gesture needed to be made it should be done at a venue common to all victims of the 30 year terrorist conflict and not on the grounds where the LTTE leader met his death. It is significant that at no point of time during the discussions in formulating the High Commissioner’s programme, that the holding of such an event was indicated. This was brought to the attention of the Government side, only a few hours before the unilaterally scheduled event. On inquiry it became evident that the UN Resident Coordinator in Sri Lanka, who represents the UN Secretary General, was unaware of this planned event.

    With reference to the High Commissioner’s assertion that the new Ministry of Law and Order “is at best a partial separation as both Ministries will remain under the President, rather than under a separate civilian Ministry”

    http://www.lankasrinews.com/view.php?2024Y5B220eYmBd34eaKmOlR4cadQWAAcddcySMQMdac4TlOmae42dBmY2e033B5Y402

    Now read the UN commissioner:

    Reprisals

    The fact that the remarks were addressed to Pillay while she was on a high level diplomatic mission on the explicit invitation of the Government was extraordinary. But more extraordinary, for the visiting UN Rights Chief was the fact that persons who had made representations during her tours of the former conflict zones had been visited by police and military officials. “This to me is just completely over the top – this kind of thing simply does not happen on my missions,” Pillay charged during the question and answer session. “The UN takes reprisals against those who speak with UN officials very seriously. I will be reporting on any reprisals against those who spoke with me back to the Human Rights Council,” she warned.

    On every critical issue falling within her mandate the UN Envoy pulled no punches. She had her own assessment on virtually every current challenge to democracy and freedom in post-war Sri Lanka. “The war may have ended, but in the meantime democracy has been undermined and the rule of law eroded,” she said, reading from one of the more electrifying sections of her statement.

    On the hot button issue of religious intolerance, with attacks against the Muslim community intensifying in the last few months, the UN Envoy said the Government had downplayed the issue. “They said it was an isolated incident, but the information pouring into my office indicates otherwise,” she said.

    Disappearances being the overarching theme of her visit, Pillay told journalists after her briefing that she had never witnessed such uncontrollable grief as when people begged her to help bring their loved ones home.

    “The fighting may be over, the suffering is not,” the UN Human Rights Chief said, as she prepared to leave Sri Lanka.

    The High Commissioner took great pains to address repeated questions on alleged UN bias put to her by the state media during the briefing. She urged journalists to “read the published material” to learn how vocal her office was being about human rights issues around the world, including those violations committed by powerful countries. “Sri Lanka is one of 193 states reviewed by the UNHRC. The US in its review had almost 300 recommendations made to them by other states,” Pillay explained.

    She added that UN independent experts were currently examining Extraordinary Rendition procedures, the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and drone strikes against civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan – all violations Washington has been accused of by human rights activists.

    (This is the story of Modern India,run by People,who you will see in your Life.

    This is Fiction, yet not Fiction.

    The incidents, some are real .Interpretations are mine as you can have yours.

    Names are changed and at places names of places are changed.)

    Mankollai,Mylapore,Chennai, 2200 hours.

    Amidst the hustle and bustle of mostly middle class area of Mylapore, is festooned with Party banners, Flex boards,buntings, autos blaring loudly with songs in praise of the leaders of TMP, Tamil Munnetra Peravai,  (TMP)Tamils Development Congregation, till recently a part of the ruling coalition at Delhi, now sulking after having been forced out of Power at the Center.

    The Meeting is to be addressed by the Party patriarch Sundara Linganar, aged 80.

    The small fry had been  allowed to speak and now the leader takes the Mike.

    (The Leader has wide and rich experience in the art of communication and the science of keeping the people enthralled)

    He ensures that he speaks last and does not tolerate anyone who can speak better before he does;if they do, they are cut off, literally)

    “My Dear Brothers,who mean more to me than my blood,

    You may wonder, why, at my Age, I have come here, with people supporting me with their shoulders  to ferry me to the dais?

    I would have come, nonetheless without their support,with the support of Tamil, whose cause I have been fighting from my ninth year from my village in deep South.

    Me, A Sudra, has come to be loved by people, because of my dedication and my service to Tamil,for my declaring Tamil as the Classical language, which nobody thought of.

    I have sacrificed my life many a times,

    I laid my head on the Railway track(when I was sure no train shall pass then) to change its Name,

    I gave up my life when Tamils were being massacred in Sri Lanka,, by going on an indefinite fast ,( from breakfast to noon), till the killing of the Tamils were stopped and Tamil Elam declared.

    I gave toothpaste to school children.

    I erected statues for everyone (who can assure me votes, dead or alive) in Public places.

    I fought for separate TamilNadu and State autonomy.

    Delhi was run from Chennai(cheers from the crowd)

    Now the Parliament is debating the Food Security Bill.

    We do not support the Bill but support the attempt in Passing the bill.

    But if Delhi were to adopt our amendments in the Bill we will welcome it.

    But the Delhi queen would not do it.

    The Aryans of the North, the Brahmin  Business Lobby  and Brahmin Media will not allow her.

    Let me warn Delhi,

    If the Bill is passed without our amendments, Blood will flow in TamilNadu.

    (The assistant hands over a chit which states that the Food Security Bill is passed without the suggested Amendments)

    Speech resumes…

    As I was saying Delhi will not dare touch us and play with our sentiments.

    I just received a note that the parliament has passed the Bill with Amendments.

    Your voice has been heard.

    This is the victory of the party and the people of TamilNadu.

    Your Party will be celebrating this momentous event, victory over the Aryans and the North Indians  Mount Road Maha Vishnu and Kulluka Bhattars for a period of one month.

    Donate liberally to your party to fight your cause and enroll your subscriptions to our party Daily.

    Long Live our Deceased Leader’

    Thunderous applause.

  • Tamil Nadu Wants To Annex SriLanka

    I read an interesting article in The LankaWeb.

    Tamils being Killed in Sri Lanka.
    n the aftermath of the screening of the Killing Fields on Wednesday 14 March millions across the world will be stunned and horrified by the images of the bloody massacre of Tamil people in Sri Lanka. Most will draw the conclusion that what took place is nothing short of genocide. And, once the shock fades, every viewer will ask: what can be done now?

    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.
