Has he got nothing more profound to say in this serious diplomatic crisis that Sri Lanka is faced with, instead of making foolish comments on issues that really are on the periphery to the gravity of the situation that Sri Lanka is faced with.
It
is time we have some more professional people in Govt. instead of ones who
whenever they open their mouth, embarrass our Country. The latest folly of this
person was shown in the utterances that appeared today.
He
is talking about double standards, where LTTE protestors were displaying
Prabarkaran’s picture in Geneva in demonstrations by the Diaspora. Whilst I
abhor any martyrdom for a murderous unscrupulous terrorist, his Govt. has
provided the space for the Tamil Diaspora to revere him, by their very action
and inaction post 2009, which will only get worse unless sanity prevails in the
GOSL to address the real grievances, so that imaginary grievances are NOT given
undue coverage as is being done today.
By
protecting Karuna the murderer of 600 Policeman in cold blood, with no truth
and reconciliation on his part or even any mea culpa on his part, the Govt. has
engaged in duplicity and double standards of the worst kind. Trying to bring
Osama bin Laden who had few followers and was fighting a war against the USA on
many fronts, he is being very disingenuous. He had NO supporters except the
terrorist band.
Praba on the other hand had a whole army and sympathizers who
believed in his cause of a separate state as the only answer to the grievances
of the Tamils, due to the years of mistreatment at the hands of various Governments
over very minor issues, that could easily have been resolved, which then rightly
became just causes due to the terror unleashed by successive governments. If I as a Sinhala, my community was singled out and mercilessly killed by a mob just because of outward ethnicity, (Kheliya's genes may prove he is more Tamil than Prabarkaran, but that is a story for another day) and I was personally affected, I would also take up arms and I don't know what atrocities I could be capable of if I was sufficiently motivated. This was NOT so with Osama! it was a more religious war against perceived infidels.
GOSL
of the past created the foundation for the bloodthirsty Prabarkaran, and was unable
to destroy him because of personal agendas of leaders and not the inability to vanquish,
so much earlier if sufficient resources had been deployed in that aim.
The
unprofessional nature of the all actors in this play, is due to sycophantic allegiances
that go contrary to the best interests of Sri Lanka proper. Keheliya has also sadly
sold his soul for pecuniary and family gain, as there are NO political options left
for him. He knows that and so does the President and so he is being used as an imbecilic
spokesman we can all make fun of. What he does to his stature is his problem, what
it does to the good name of Sri Lanka is my problem.
