GOSL IS HAPPY WITH THE STATUS QUO - HERES WHY!
The
fact that on January 15th 2014, the GOSL is by way of the MOD
talking about sending a Northern Provincial Council Member, Ananthi Sasitharan
back to a rehabilitation programme that over 10,000 former LTTE carders have
undergone, says something about the state of our unity.
Apparently
she was one of those who neither surrendered nor was arrested and slipped
through the cracks and it is better late than never to have her undergo the
process! I presume this was predicated by her telling Ambassador at large Rapp
that the Govt. has yet to answer the HR abuse inflicted on the Tamils!
She
is the wife of a senior LTTE official Sivakumar and it seems she is still in no
mood to compromise, making many of the serious allegations against both the
Govt. and the military presence in the North.
As a Sri Lankan citizen, elected and representing thousands of people in
the North, she is entitled to say her piece and Rapp has a need to take heed.
It is up to the GOSL to disprove what she says. After all it is not the job of
the opposition to agree with the Govt. IN a recent news item UNP issued a very
strict notice to the people of Sri Lanka on the assumed participation of the
Govt. in attacking Churches in Sri Lanka.
That,
is in my opinion NOT political grandstanding but a serious allegation on the
credibility of the GOSL by the largest single party on the Island, on
violations that are right there with the HR allegations and are at the heart of
why the credibility of this Govt. is questioned.
I
think what is at stake here is the continuing sense of insecurity created by
the GOSL, (maybe for political gain at the expense of citizens) There are
pontificating sycophantic Govt. journalists who say that just because Daya
Master was rehabilitated, and was an unwilling recruit to the LTTE in the first
place, that there is no real issue. They have got the plot completely wrong as
there are citizens of Sri Lanka who because they DO NOT have a conduit to
complain within Sri Lanka, as there is NO serious attempt at investigating
claims, resort to any foreigner who comes along to explain their predicament.
So Cameron, Obrhai or Rapp were subjected to the wailing of women with
unresolved problems.
GOSL
it is YOUR responsibility to resolve them, not some foreign jokers. Don’t go
around telling the US how to treat AL Qaeda in Guantanamo, do your part in
bringing closure to the real problems of Sri Lankans in Sri Lanka.
The
problem is that GOSL include the freedoms of all Tamils in SL, when it is a
problem of primarily solving the Northern Province issue first. It is no matter
that most of the Colombo businesses are owned by Tamils or those of Indian
origin, and that hundreds of thousands work in the South for their Tamil
masters at their peril. They believe that this explanation is evidence of
harmonious race relations. Then why is there NO serious Tamil Cabinet minister,
when you discount the discredited Devananda. Even Rauff Hakeem representing the
Muslim Party he leads is a senior Cabinet Minister of Justice.
Does
the Govt. realize the chagrin when Rauff from a party other than Govt. main
parties comes to Jaffna to open the Law Courts? So a Muslim is just as bad as a
Sinhala in Tamil people’s eyes as they were also evicted by the racist LTTE
from the Jaffna peninsula and are now seeking a return, now in numbers that are
5 times the evicted, due to their population growth whilst in exile.
The
Parliamentary Select Committees are a waste of time, as they have lost
credibility as not being serious and more attempts at stalling the peace
process.
Whilst
I do believe the TNA is also playing Hardball, that is more as a result of GOSL
feeding them everything they want, by their behavior. A UNP Govt. would have
solved this problem already without dividing the Country, but giving them just
enough autonomy for them to develop their own lands as they see fit. It is the
pride of a Northern Tamil to show the South what they are capable of. They have
shown it in the South, but they want to show the world that their province can,
given a level of autonomy have a GNP per capita of double that of the rest of
the Island within 5 years. The fact that GOSL is interfering in preventing this
process is what irks them, and sends them off to Netherlands to complain as
their voices are NOT heard in our homeland!!!
I
do not blame the West, the Diaspora or India for the current troubles as they
are all definitely one man’s complete responsibility, which he could have
resolved quite easily. It is the Sinhala
Buddhist fundamentalist electorate that has prevented him from so doing as he
wished to pander to this voter base of his, that keeps him in power, and is
able with that power to abuse it as he thinks fit. That is why the sycophantic
press has been unable to uncouple themselves from this myth, and inform the
electorate of the facts, as it is their duty, so the electorate can drop their
unfounded prejudices and vote the bastards out, giving Sri Lanka a chance at a
final reconciliation. I am afraid I personally do not believe that the Govt. of
Mahinda Rajapakse has any desire to resolve it as once it does, they just don’t
seem to be necessary for the future of Sri Lanka.
