The President has
re-appointed Maj Gen Chandrasiri to his post for another five years as his
first five year term ends on 12th July 2014, in the Northern
Province in the midst of the TNA requesting a civilian appointment. It must be
noted that the Eastern Governor is also an ex Military man. Further he was the
Military commander for about 5 years before that, during the time of
hostilities.
Make no bones about it, if he completes
this term, he will have been the defacto king of Jaffna for 15 years and that
is more than many kings of Jaffna ever ruled, secure in the fact that he has
been the most powerful King of Jaffna in the history of Jaffna. Ironically
there is actually a pretender to the throne of Jaffna at present!
A Sinhala man will never understand
that, but for the proud Jaffna Tamils, it is a huge swipe at their sense of
entitlement. Most Jaffna Tamils now live in the Diaspora, and the rest in
Colombo as millionaires and billionairs,
as now most people in Jaffna are settlers from Killinochchi District and
therefore NOT Jaffna Tamils. This is reflected in the quality of the people and
the youth who are more interested in alcohol than studies unlike the Jaffna
Tamil of the first half of the 20th Century. Never mind the fact that
the Sinhala people did not mind a Tamil King as we had for many years and the
language spoken in Court was always Tamil. It shows to whom egos matter most.
Actually to a true follower of Buddhism,
it does not matter a toss who rules you as long as your basic ability to live a
meritorious life is not messed up with. That to an extent was why there was not
so much in the way of insurgencies in the 500 years of foreign rule as in European,
as opposed to Tamil Kings of yore, who were much more interested in warfare and
conquering. Oh how we have distorted history now, to suit our personal agendas.
Actually I blame some of the
intransigence of the TNA leaders on their arrogance and pride, and someone
really needs to tell them off, in a nice way, so they understand their personal
weaknesses and deal with their demons, so the Tamil people are NOT held hostage
to their machinations, that don’t help them. It is not to say the Sinhala Thugs
running the country are not without their insanity either!
This amounts to the definite stamping of
Presidential authority saying not to mess with me there, and no matter what
others say or plead I will have him there as he is the best man that I know of
to do that job. He has managed the security there well, and here have been very
few. So long live Prince Chandrasiri, courtesy of the TNA
