The narrowest battleground in Sri Lanka where hundreds fell in previous operations, Muhamalai and Kilali, were captured this afternoon along with elephant pass. Palai still remains uncleared. The 53 and 58 are squeezing in on Palai. LTTE seems to have abandoned the area and retreated.
The 53 Advanced into a 500m2 area initially at Kilali and Muhamalai without much LTTE resistance. The 58, by that time, had reached the lagoon area at EPS.
Meanwhile resistance in Mulaitivu is growing. On 1st January, a massive counter attack broke the 59 Div FDL. 24 Ratha Regiment cadres were killed and another 8 captured, who also later died. 18 soldiers were also killed.
The police Special Task Force and members of the now 41,000 strong Civil Defence Force were deployed to guard the rear of the 59. Fighting is expected to intensify in this area.
TF 3 and 4 are also advancing steadily towards Iranamadu, Puthukudiirippu and Mullayaveli. They will join the 59 in further trapping the LTTE, which is probably 1,000-1,500 strong in Mulaitivu now.

rana,
of course SF, etc. know best; i'm in no way challenging that.
but SF, etc. are under severe pressure from many quarters (unfortunately within the govt) to address MANY COMPETING priorities now.
what i want is to add more weight to one of those priorities (HARVESTING tigers) AHEAD of others.
according to my sources, some powerful SECTIONS of the ruling party, the clergy, foreign ambassadors, media bosses, NGOs, SOME president's advisors (YES!!), uni professors, etc. are running a VERY powerful campaign to tone down the KILLINGS.
from about 05/12/1995 to around 15/07/1996 there was a LULL in SLDF op.s after taking jaffna which was the BIGGEST victory by then. what happened thereafter is everybody's knowledge.
we cannot let that happen again.
Oh dint you Peter ill send you one next time, guess you prob were a bit busy learning to write ?

Sam Perera,
Thanks for your kind words, mate.
I was born in Pannipitiya and spent first 36 years as citizen of SL. Though, I am a duel citizen now, my contribution to SL economy is minimal and having a good income with fair wealth in my new home country, I feel guilty of betraying my mother land.
I got my complete education free of charge from SL thanks to working public and serve them for 13 years before moving. My present success in entirely belongs to free education, I received from my mother land.
I came to SL last December and spent two and half months with my close relatives. During that time, I saw how ordinary people are struggling to make a living. I do generous donations and spent lot by visiting every 2-3 years to SL but do not think have any rights to force my way of thinking into shaping future of SL.
ak47,
We regained Jaffna in 1995 (December) and lost Mulathive in 1996. However, I can't remember anything else in in 1996 than Cricket.
All,
Interview with General Sarath Fonseka
is available via given link.
Way to go General Sir.
Rana,
I don't think that you are forcing anything. Your opinion is as valid as mine (i.e. 1/20 million). Obviously, somebody floating an idea is not equivalent to forcing something down the throat. All of us have the same rights to our country (Sri Lanka), i.e vote and express ideas. Please feel free to chime in with your thoughts, the diversity will make it better.
2009: Killinochchi falls to Sri Lankan army
Sri Lankan troops have driven the Tamil Tiger guerrillas out of their heartland capital of Killinochchi after a 18-month operation.
Maj Gen Jagath Dias, who led the 57th Division of the Sri Lankan army into the town, raised the Sri Lankan flag in the northern city at noon, marking a major success in the 26-year civil war with the Tigers.
Senior officers at the ceremony emphasised it was a victory over the rebel guerrillas and not the Tamil community. The government is urging the 230,000 Tamil civilians displaced by the recent fighting to return to their homes.
The government's war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka has cost nearly 70,000 lives since the conflict began in July 1983.
Jungle control
Maj Gen Dias said the offensive would continue: "This is not the end of the war. Very soon we will totally defeat and annihilate separatist terrorists."
The BBC's Colombo correspondent, Roland Buerk, said the fall of Jaffna would be a "real blow" to the rebels.
"Killinochchi town was really the heartland of what was effectively a Tamil state in northern Sri Lanka. They ran the police force, the law courts and more importantly the taxation services.
"They were collecting tax from the people there to fund the war. Also of course it was a pool for recruits."
Despite the success of Operation Riviresa - or Sunshine - in securing the city, the rebels still control large areas of the Jaffna peninsula and can operate freely in the jungles of north and east Sri Lanka.
That was a copy&paste from

Moshe,
Do not worry mate, One of my close friends who is serving SLDF in a fairly high position, told me recently.
In his exact words:
"FONSEKA EVILLA YAKA WAGE MINIHEK, UTA DEMALA SINHALA KIYALA NE ME YUDDEDI"
He wants to kill all tigers without mercy and will do the same for any SLA fellow who is not doing his/her job as SF wants.
I am certain after listening to my friend killing the LTTP leadership is personal to SF.
Rana
There are so many ways to contribute, Ranaviru foundation is doing a really great job. I just found out familiar names that I respect on their web site as people running it.
There are lot of Rana(singhe)s around Maharagama area that I know of.
I have contributed a village to Sri Lanka.
We must focus on protecting VVIPs at any cost in coming days. As per some media there is large number of LTTP suicide cadres in the south so we must be vigilant if not RED ALERT in coming day to avoid any unavoidable mistakes. As to make di-ass-pora Tamils happy LTTP might target any soft targets too…
I would like to ask you guys to discuss this matter in order to keep open eye on this matter….
As we have very good think tank here …please try to inform our relevant authorities if you have any doubt or any info you might this they need to think about….
rana,
thanks mate. that gives me some reassurance.
but i still can't brush aside the kili-EPS cycle of 1998/2000 and 2008/09. reminds me of the cricket team.
when things are going well we are on top of everything, but when things don't go well, we give up. so we should make good of the TIME (which is NOW) to secure our future.
SF is much better than vp but don't forget SF succeeded at the top for just 3 years but vesapillai more than 25 years. vp has been responsible for MORE debacles and MORE victories than SF. and vp has little to lose NOW.
i won't rest until tigers are wiped out as promised. but the going rate is good, it must be bettered by getting into the harvesting mode NOW.
I am forming a company called Gondas Sri Lanka Limited. Mahindha mama has given his blessing. I recall Defencewire posting an article on ex army soldiers being used for such purposes overseas.
However my idea is to lease them out to Mahindha to attack anyone who is against him. This is going to be what remains of Sri Lanka when Eelam breaks off.
Just a day after i said Sri Lanka will eventually end up moving towards a military ditactorship. Guess what Mahindha mama does not disaapoint.
I guess with an imminent economic collapse Gonda work will really pick up speed. I am also thinking of starting a finance company with 10% intrest. Anyone interested?
Where is STD? We miss STD's analysis.
navindran,
call it Gonohrea Tamil Elam. STD will join in.
fcuked up 'virgins' from the malathi brigade will also join.
Moshi,
//i won't rest until tigers are wiped out as promised. but the going rate is good, it must be bettered by getting into the harvesting mode NOW.//
As I said before, do not worry, MR, GR and SF is unstoppable. "Kappan" vesapille has gone too far after the last CFA. He got drugged by his own success and one way or the other end of peelam is inevitable.
SF has stationed 40,000 strong STF and CDF force to cover rear guard of 59 div, just to make sure the inevitability.
No, press, journalists and observers. No witnesses means no crime was committed.
My only worry is not SLDF but RAW arse holes are spying on us secretly and may have few cards up on their sleeves.
I normally do not post whole articles but this is maybe why Prabha feels no need to launch a counter offensive even when Mahen seems to hope and beg for it in his blog. So sad

The Credit Crisis Comes to … Sri Lanka?
By Joe Nocera
“So,” said the driver as we settled into our seats for a four-hour ride to our resort in Sri Lanka’s tea country, “Do you think the economic crisis will get better in 2009?” We had just landed in Columbo, Sri Lanka’s capital, and these were practically the first words we heard.
We were coming from Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, where the effects — and potential effects — of the credit crisis were front and center. Would the Wall Street layoffs hurt the technology outsourcing firms that have proliferated here, they had asked. Would corporate America’s need to control costs help the booming business process outsourcing industry, they had wondered. Everywhere I went, people expected me to opine about the credit crisis.
But in Sri Lanka, a small, lush, tropical island of 20 million people that neighbors India, and where we had come for holiday, I didn’t expect to hear the same fears. After all, this is a place where the economy is still largely agrarian; its largest export, by far, is tea. And this is also a place that has been consumed by a decades-old civil war. Yet the economic crisis found its way into almost every conversation we had over the next week.
Because I was on vacation, I didn’t interview people in their offices. Instead, my conversations were over tea in the afternoon and drinks at sunset. I met people in Sri Lanka’s newly emerging resort business. They had survived the tsunami; now, they felt threatened by this new economic tsunami. Indeed, they could mark the exact moment when business fell of the cliff: it was September, when Lehman Brothers defaulted. The country’s cricket association — by far the biggest spectator sport in Sri Lanka — was essentially broke; the big, upcoming Test Series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan had not been able to find a single sponsor. Land development was largely on hold because financing was impossible to get.
Oh, and on my second day in Sri Lanka, I picked up the local newspaper to discover that a large bank, Seylan, had been taken over by the country’s central bank. My new Sri Lankan friends told me the backstory: the bank was run by a businessman who was offering 25 percent interest to attract deposits, which he was then using to finance development projects that were unraveling because of the credit crisis. When the depositors found out, they raced to pull out their money, creating a run. After the central bank took over, its governor, Ajith Nivaad Cabral, gave a news conference in which he played down the bank’s mistakes, and chalked up the problem to an inexplicable crisis of confidence. It turns out the bank’s owner was politically connected.
A few days later, we were in the south, having drinks with a friend, a British ex-pat who runs a small, high-end property. He had spent an anxious afternoon in nearby Galle, where the Seylan Bank had a branch, because he wanted to get his money out. He was worried. The bank told him to come back in seven days. That made him even more worried.
For all the talk of the interconnectedness of world trade and global markets, it is still striking to see how events in America in 2008 have created turmoil in this small country. You shake your head in wonder. Sri Lankans, however, understand that interconnectedness all too well. Or at least some do. We made friends in Sri Lanka with Dominique and Rohini Nordmann — he runs a boutique resort company; she is the sales director for the Aman Resorts — and we spent time at their home, which looks out over the Indian Ocean. Gazing out at the water, Dominique told me about his own economic indicator.
“See out there?” he said pointing to the distance. “A few years ago, you would have seen shipping containers from China, one after another, all day long.” I looked out at the empty ocean. “Now we see maybe one or two a day,” he said. The Nordmanns didn’t need to read the newspaper to know the world was in recession. They could see it from their lawn.
[We already have enough material to write a few chapters in our chronicles that rivals Prince Gamini and Prince Kiththi (Vijayabahu the great).]
Sam Perera, dear chap, these are indeed heady times. The battle cries of our ancient warriors are again ringing through Alimankada and Yapa Patuna.
Lions to the kill!
Lions to the kill!
Tear them limb to limb!
Eat their livers!
Once all the terrorist scum has been slaughtered our republic will be again one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Cheers!
DefenceWire:
"They will join the 59 in further trapping the LTTE, which is probably 1,000-1,500 strong in Mulaitivu now."
How did you arrive at this number?
Earlier in February you had released a great article on speculations regarding the LTTE's numbers:
The Commander of the Army claimed the man/woman-power of the Tigers was around 5000. He was referring to the hardcore fighters. Sources close to the Tigers estimate it at around 25,000. Our estimate is that it has a hardcore fighting force of around 10,000 fighters.
LTTE may also have around 10-15,000 more second line fighters and a militia/home guard of 40-50,000 (lightly trained civilians), of whom they might have the capacity to deploy around 5,000 as auxiliary forces at a time.
Defencewire, how did the LTTE's total number drop from 20,000-25,000 fighters down to 1,000-1,500 in less than a year?

Shameful that America calls attack on MTV criminal. All criminal activities if scantioned by god like mahindha is good bussiness. Mervyn Silva is after all a good bussinessman.
Heard Prabha might award Mamanithar awards to Lalith Kotelawala and Meryn Silva for their outstanding contribution for the cause of tamil eelam.
In another related news the Liberation Tigers of Sri Lankan Media is purpoterly being formed after years of abuse by sucessive Sri Lankan goverment. Their aim is to have a country where media is not beaten and killed whenever the politicians feel like it.
When I read words from people like ReallyCold. Its really heartwarming that I really have a opportunity to suceed in my gonda bussiness as well as my triple gems 25% intrest schemes. If I feel Reallycold sister is beautiful, i will take her. After all what one person in power feels and does is right isnt it. Now i know even after slaughtering 60 000 youths in the South, why these politicians can continue to suceed.
Classic: "If you remember Mervin Silva several times attacked sirasa camera mans."
Guys,
Economists Navindran is awake, and busy with cut and paste.
Good for Dr.Gupta- I believe he is Guju
We can divide NRI in # of ways in US.
1. Guju- they started to come in early 70s and 80s.
They are very religious folks but very business minded. Guju chicks are damn sexy.
90% of US Gujus are into medical field/Business( mostly motels and stores)
2. Telungu - They came in #s in 90s and early 2000s.
They own # of tier-4 IT consulting firms in US and more or less they dominate the IT- very very sneaky people.
3. Tamils - Most Indian Tamils are in high positions but lack leadership qualities. Who would like curry without salt? You can compare these Tamilians to curry without salt.
4. North Indians - very shallow folks.
5. Other - We need to do more profiling.
Brave1,
"The these people always believe that Tamil Separatism was wrong and it was only a terror movement...lot of people laughed a them...
1. SL Gunersekara
2. Champika
3. Rathana Hamuduruwo
4. Wimal"
There were many others who believed that the LTTE was a terrorist organization, not just the above individuals who did not play a role in the SLA's recent victories (that credit belongs to Gotabhaya, Fonseka, and the officers and men under them.
"I believe evolving Asian supper powers and need to hob nob with them will demand even bigger investments into SLDF. I think we'll require to invest lot more into SLAF and SLN. SLAF shall be equiped with air superiority platforms and SLN shall be able to field platforms capable of responding to aggression by potentially belligerent India."
If we want to build a 1st-class military after the LTTE is beaten, we will have to develop the economy first. Otherwise we will be stuck with a bloated, low-quality military that sucks resources but does not return anything to society.
"Another area we'll need to strengthen is the Intelligence. We should posses an intelligence arm sufficiently competent to conduct covert operations international and to infiltrate diaspora led separatist movements."
You'll need people who can speak Tamil to do that. How many Sinhalese speak Tamil?
Wijayapala,
Did you read my email?
I am waiting for a reply!
Wesaballa asked,
how did the LTTE's total number drop from 20,000-25,000 fighters down to 1,000-1,500 in less than a year?
Joke of the year.
You were writing in the Defencewire blog, didn't you?
Writing total crap, nothing military.
This is what happens to idiots like you.
What do you think the army, navy, air force, SF were doing all this time?
Wasting time talking bullshit like you?
I pity you assclown.
The answer: They went to Elam.
Guys,
I think, India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is highly worried about the possibility of capturing Vesapilee and/or Pottu alive by SLDF. There is a strong possibility some hierarchy members of LTTP may spill the beans about Indian involvement during 1975 -1990 period.
There was a news article about some RAW members flying over SL on observation mission. Either they want to make sure LTTP hierarchy is either dead or escape to India.
RAW will have a lot to answer, if we get all details of their involvement with LTTP. May be some big shots attached to state/federal govts are sweating now with fear.
[If we want to build a 1st-class military after the LTTE is beaten, we will have to develop the economy first. Otherwise we will be stuck with a bloated, low-quality military that sucks resources but does not return anything to society.]
With $26B+ yearly economy, these chena boys want to build 500k+ strong military. No wonder why these chena boys are called as "modayas". As you know how Russians faced hard time to keep its strong 1+M military well oiled since the break up of USSR. They did not have enough funds for any kind of training nor keeping its nuclear arsenal in good shape nor upgrading its aging black sea fleet. Rising Oil prices helped them to rebuild its military and finally they are coming back into world picture. In Lankan case, tea prices can keep us to build formidable military?
If you chena boys want 500k+ strong military, please simply enlist your 1M+ of your Sinhala housemaids from ME. All you need just #, am I right ?
Wijayapala,
Well if it helps you to sleep well , we will agree that LTTE has another 7000 cadres..
Interesting article:

As far as, I can remember, Sirasa TV station belongs to Shan Wickramasinghe who is closely related to Ranil Wickramasinghe. Sirasa has been anti MR, GR and SF for last 2-3 years. If you remember Mervin Silva several times attacked sirasa camera mans.]]
Sirasa is own by Maharaja, not Shan W.
Unlike his brother RW, Shan W. is very good patriotic guy. When I was in SL, I was a fan of his "paththara sirasthala" program. Unfortunately, I cannot listen to the Isira TNL now. Nobody uploads it to the web :(.
I heard, SLBC is broadcasting this program again at night. I'm not sure. If anybody know about this please let me know as we can listen to SLBC through the web.

All,
Can we please start to publish some greate songs / Kavi etc. like below?

There is no better time than now for those.]]
I published this link yesterday (only once). According to server logs, 70 people have downloaded it during yesterday!
Imagine the no of readers for each comment!
rana,
good analysis.
i recon we need both quality and quantity; i prefer a tilt towards quality.
explanation:
believe it or not, 400 soldiers cost about the same as a Mi-24 (only the purchase price) over 5 years with all the overheads!!!
Guys,
I do not like to talk about things which I don’t know much. However, after encouraging pat in the back from Sam Perera, I thought about it. My feelings are as follows:
Size of the future SLDF after eliminating LTTP completely:
Let us look at Australia first. Australia defence force is about 60,000 service men with a defence budget of over US$ 23.0b. They need protect vast land and water mass compared to SL. Aussies also has over US$400b/year economy and more than US$ 20,000 per capita income.
Now, if we look at SL with US$ 2000 per capita income and say about US$40b economy with 1/60th Land mass to protect is having say 250,000 strong army with comparatively small Navy and Air Force. Our highest defence budget is about US$1.6b.
If you compare the two you will see, it is quality that matters. What we need is very strong Navy and fairly strong Air Force to protect our territorial waters and fishing rights. The function of the army is to provide internal security only.
Our biggest threat is India and India got over 1.3m army and another over 1.0m reserve with matching Navy and Air Force. It is the third biggest defence force in the world.
We cannot compete with India, what we need is a defence pact with countries like India, Pakistan and China, something similar to NATO. We should not try to match India in defence matters with our Pauper economy.
Finally, I would say, 250,000 strong army as at present should be cut down to 150,000 once the war is over and Navy and Air Force should be expanded 400% and 200% respectively. This should happen in phased out passion over next 06 years.
Even with the above our defence budget will be around US$4.0b, if we want a quality from Navy and Air Force. In here, I am assuming our economy will double within first five years after the war with booming tourism industry.
I may be wrong, would like to see response from others, also please note figures I quoted may be debatable.
@ nisal
make it 71 bro.. :)
Rana,
I most certainly agree that we need to improve our Navy and Air Force. However, I am with Ananda-USA about the Army. We have to prepare for the war we will never fight. There are many uncertainties in the future,one being fragmentation of India. Also, we need a powerful deterrent against any future internal threats(hint mountain divisions). In addition, the LTTE problem will continue at a low intensity for a decade or two. Therefore, we need a stronger army beyond Prabakaran. We may have to find very creative to make this happen. May be partly volunteer force with regular Swiss type training and partly a permanent force. Anyway, we all agree that we shall never be caught again pants down as in 1983,
Moshey

OaO Asithri
Rana,
Thanks for the email- sorry I didn't write back sooner. I sent you a response.
I totally agree with what you argued about the post-LTTE SL military- you have written a lot more sense than what some daydreamers here who claim to be "educated in defense affairs." The SLN and SLAF have to be built up, and we will need outside support for this to happen. We won't need more than 150,000 SLA for internal security, but as you said this demobilization process must take place slowly and carefully, both to make sure the ex-soldiers are taken care of AND to deal with any return of insurgency (LTTE or others).
The only thing I would add is that the SLA should get more involved in UN peacekeeping, like Bangladesh. The SLA should be a place of honorable employment for young men and women of all backgrounds who want to serve Sri Lanka.
Hey Bhairav...
How goes it LTTE aunty-fcuker?

"oh oh…I see the “history teacher”…blah blah blah"
Sigh... I see Arse-ithri has gotten stuck in "broken record in feedback loop" mode, hence the inability to come up with anything new.
"I see this undercover Tamil-superiority bitch is a “hero” for some of our so called “patriots” here…shows the level of intellect of these “patriots” !!!…or may be it is simply the “birds of feather, thick together”…how fucking pathetic!!!"
What I find pathetic is your whining about this. What's wrong, little Dumb-Arse, are you crying that not everyone on this blog is a half-wit loser like yourself? Do you need your Ammi to hold your hand?
"I am sure some so called RW/TNA (=LTTE) “patriots” (hak hak hak!!!) may have tried such “he is the buddy to burn” sentiment with OaOA and may have ended up in white-vans as soon as they landed in Colombo!!!"
Nope, we're still here Dumb-Arse. As everyone can see, you can't do shit. You have no contacts whatsoever with the JOH or anything related to the MOD- you just blow hot air to pretend that you're part of the history being made.
Truly pathetic! Laughing My Silly Sad Ass Off!!
"Mahinda is the Great"
sarath the greatest. i recon SF should take over from MR, not now, one day.
that will permanantly silence undercover tamil elamists.
the argument SF is a good commander but a bad politician is BS. look at the politicians. no one can be worse than them!!!!
of course MR and a few others are the exception to bad politicians.
i recon after MR, SF should take over the govt. thereafter he can go for an election which he can win EASILY.
please SF groom at least one junior SF b4 it is too late. too bad he didn't have a son.
ha ha ha…even the traitorous but "formidable" “maharaja” went up in flames today!!! - of course, it is the “Peoples Power”…at play…nothing more, nothing less...a kind of a "democracy" if you must!!!

Guys,
Whatever our differences with Sirasa, there can be no justification for burning it down. We have a law in our country! (I hope so)
Present Sinhala Buddhist culture (part of it) is a gift to us by British. Few hundred years ago our ancestors had no problem in seeing topless women. I don't want to divert the attention of the discussion.
If people keep on trying to justify attack on Sirasa on culture or UNP friendly attitude that is bad.
Re: Siarasa attack
Combating Maharaja terrorists should not be done in this fashion. The damage will be claimed and the fame they create will be free marketting. Only the govt is in trouble when this type of events happen. And Maharaja is a winner in this event.
If you hate sirasa, hurling a hand grenade is not gonna make much damage can it? We should corner these traitors in the legal framework.
Sirasa is a channel I hate, for being stupid but they are NOT pussycats. In my opinion the undervcover pussycat suspect is NewsFirst, a small arm under Maharaja acquiring and processing news and handles the News matters of all their channels. The bias to pussycats can be found there. Sirasa merely broadcasts the news given by those. Sirasa ppl are not directly involved in the news fabrications for pussycat propaganda which News First do, although indirectly support. Of course both under Maharaja.
I think we should uncover NewsFirst and they should be banned. As long as news is banned only complain against Sirasa is stupidity, which is a common crime in most mass-media in SL [and even elsewhere, even in first world media].
And this bombing looks more like private revenge than of public interest. In last few months they locked horns with few powerful donkeys [like Mervyn] so this maybe related.
Pls dont laugh for what I plan to say next. Sirasa themselves are not out of suspicion. Seeing the manner they went after cheap publicity, I can't rule out the case that they themselves may have planned this. Since cost is insured, they wouldn't mind the free marketing

MR is following DS's footsteps in balancing the ethnic percentages in the island. thus the large army is a good strategy. a strong military & related industries/products will also boost the economy. we gotta start producing military hardwear at some point. we even import bullets if i am not mistaken. now's the best time to start, probably with foreign collabaration. Govt. could export & earn foreign exchange & invest in infrastrucure.

This is very true. What we call nationalism today is a western influenced ideology. What we call discipline is what was transplanted i us during Victorian era. Most these defects are bugying urban population mostly. What we truly are can be observed in village level.
My post at The Economist
[Rohit L takes a very nonchalant view of what is happening in India today, as we Sri Lankans did 30 years ago to our eternal regret. We continually minimized the terrorist threat that enabled a rag-tag group of terrorists, enabled and fed by foreign enemies, to pull off the con-job of the century, and transform themselves into a near conventional army capable of threatening the very existence of the nation.
The upper class technocrats of India today do not appreciate the widespread disenchantment of the poor, destitute illiterate in India, played upon like a sitar by power hungry, ultimately unpatriotic, demagogues incessantly jockeying for power. Blinded by the superficial vision of a technologically resurgent India, the upper crust minority in India are oblivious to the urgency of addressing the social and economic inequities at the bottom of their society, and allow demagogues to pit segments of the community against each other, hacking away at the root and foundation of social cohesion, to propel themselves into power.
Misguided assessments of Indira Gandhi's government, continued under Rajiv Gandhi's government, and the desire to garner political support of Tamil Nadu's demagogues, led India to train, equip, and fund Tamil terrorists in Sri Lanka, to prevent Sri Lanka from moving towards a free market economy aligned with the Western World, at a time when India was still mired in obsolete socialist politics of distributing poverty to its people from a fixed pie, and was aligned with the Soviet Union. Sri Lanka's move towards an open market was not a threat to India; having educated its people, and having achieved a measure of social equity, Sri Lanka wanted to meet the aspirations its people for a better life by growing the economic pie; that was all, no threat to India was intended; it was India that was paranoid. India prevented the government of our sovereign country from eliminating the LTTE menace from Lanka several times.
Perhaps Rohit L is not aware of the secessionist politics in the state of Tamil Nadu, or of the 13 or so other separatist movements busily training armed guerillas elsewhere in India. With the exception of the AIADMK, every other political party supports the Greater Dravidian Nation agenda. Karunanidhi pens poems in praise of LTTE's late Thamilselvan, Vaiko has broken bread with Prabhakaran in Sri Lanka's Vanni and wants to send Tamil volunteers to Sri Lanka, Tirumavalavan declares solidarity with the LTTE, Ramadoss in the recent past wanted a "Vanniyar-only" separatist state including parts of Karanataka, Andrha Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Instead of throwing these people in prison for a couple of decades, the Indian government condones and mollycuddles them to preserve their votes. You point to the few terrorist movements, such as the Sikh demand for Khalistan, as an example of the triumph of negotiation over military action. However, practically all terrorists movement ended in India through the application of military force, not negotiations or granting of their separatist demands. We are watching with great interest, the final resolution of the Jammu & Kashmir, Assam and Naxalite conflicts; whether they will be solved by military force, or by granting "self-determination."
We Sri Lankans are united in supporting the integrity of India, within its current borders. The Indian government should move firmly, and soon, to crush all of these secessionist and communal movements without delay, before things spin out of control. A first step in this direction, could be to demolish caste-based affirmmative action programs that pit various communities against each other, and implement programs based purely on poverty and need, as Kumari Mayawati proposes. Unfortunately, the Indian government seems paralyzed and unable to act to preserve the integrity of India and communal harmony within its borders. I believe that Tamil Nadu could well be the first state to successfully secede from the Indian Union. When that happens, Sri Lanka, as well as the states of Karnataka and Andrha Pradesh in India, will have to be prepared to cope with the "Greater Dravidian Nation" agenda. How India copes with this is internal matter for India to solve; but in Sri Lanka we will be prepared to meet it head on with all of our collective might. Sri Lanka dare not remain vulnerable to the vagaries of the internal politics of India.
As they say, if you fool me once, shame on you, if you fool me twice, shame on me.]

If you observe the writers here, some just jump with we can't do this, we need to reduce our forces attitude.

I am glad that many in the blog find the two cents worth of these delusional jack-of-all-trades parasites to be garbage.

"Mahinda is the Great"
sarath the greatest. i recon SF should take over from MR, not now, one day.
that will permanantly silence undercover tamil elamists.
the argument SF is a good commander but a bad politician is BS. look at the politicians. no one can be worse than them!!!!
of course MR and a few others are the exception to bad politicians.
i recon after MR, SF should take over the govt. thereafter he can go for an election which he can win EASILY.
please SF groom at least one junior SF b4 it is too late. too bad he didn't have a son.
things that came in to mind as I read ur post....
1)Pakistan - corrupt politicians--> popular army general --> army general takes over the country --> people are happy, dancing on the streets--> army general becomes power crazy --> killings, abductions, suppressing dissenting voices --> people protest --> army general is thrown out of power --> the same people who celebrated when the general came in to power now celebrates his demise from power
2)sri lanka under premadasa - ineffective leaders--> charismatic personality--> close to grassroots/ no nonsense guy--> people are jubilant when he comes in to power -->starts off well, massive development projects --> leader takes the support he has from the majority of the people as a license to silence dissenting voices --> some disappearances here and there--> leader gets power crazy--> soon the killings, abductions get put of hand--> people are quite resentfull now--> people celebrate when the leader is killed...
bottom line is.... power corrupts every human.... and there is nothing more evil than unchallenged power.... Shocking as it may seem now, that will happen to SF as well, if we give him what u suggest we give him... So that is why we need a strong judiciary, and a parliament, to act as a counter weight on the executive.....
all the so called low castes were banned from covering their upper body. men & women. it's recorded.
I suppose that made it easier for the priviledged to spot the well breasted women. not joking.
it changed with the brit take over.
it would have changed anyway even without the brits. what did not change was the brit imported coolies who're blasting the bodies of all & sundry to pieces today.
this is what has to be stopped at all costs.

[Our biggest threat is India and India got over 1.3m army and another over 1.0m reserve with matching Navy and Air Force. It is the third biggest defence force in the world.]
Yes, but India cannot deploy all 1.3m troops in one war theatre; it is surrounded by enemies along all other borders, which is not the case for Sri Lanka.
[We cannot compete with India, what we need is a defence pact with countries like India, Pakistan and China, something similar to NATO. We should not try to match India in defence matters with our Pauper economy.]
Yes, allies are important, but a very large SLDF is need to provide the core/primary competency.
Regarding the notion that India is so big that we can't do anything to dissuade them, look at the following counter examples:
1. Israel opposes the entire Arab world, and survives.
2. Taiwan defends its existence against the Peoples Republic of China from its inception to this day, and survives.
3. Cuba holds the USA at bay with a peoples army, and survives.
4. Switzerland mobilizes its entire population in 1 week, refuses passage to Hitler's army in the invasion of France, remain free and uninvaded throught WW-II, and survives.
5. Britain fends off the Nazis after evacuating the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk, defends itself agaionst invasion primarily by having the best Navy and the first Radar controlled air defense system, until the US joined in, and survives.
All of these countries did it largely through self reliance to complement alliances. There are many more counter examples in world history.
Finally, it may not be India that will invade, but a newly independent country called Tamil Nadu, 80 million strong. Are we going just hope it won't happen and wait, or are we going to be so well prepared militarily that they won't even try?
Ultimately, keep in mind:
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see, and
Those who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat its mistakes.
[Few hundred years ago our ancestors had no problem in seeing topless women. "]
Sujeeva,
Your ancestors were into animal sex, so "topless" had to compete with rest of the domestic and wild animals to have a shot at the glory with chena boys who would have cared less about topless since they had threefold of supply.
About this Maharaja attack...let us consider a few points in proper perspectives...
Earlier, it was the "peoples power" that brought Ranil Ponnaya down when he was on the verge of giving the "tahmiileelam" (aka ISGA) on a platter to the LTTE whore sons/daughters! Then, the "peoples power" dis the same when CBK the cow wanted to give LTTE nearly $1.2Billion via P-TOMS!
In these occasions too, the masses (from apolitical patriots to patriots in the camps of JHU, JVP, SLFP etc.) took to the streets in protest and Ranil in particular assured that they were baton charged, water-cannoned, and even tear-gassed! However, in the end, it was the "peoples power" that prevailed (the results we see today)...
So, likewise, here we go again... it appears to be the "peoples power" that has attacked maharajas for their crassly, openly, and repeatedly denigrating comments/reports about our bravehearts' achievements in the battlefield...and I for one see it as a "natural expression of dismay by the people"...however, even MR GOSL has condemned it and currently the IGP is under Presidential directive to catch the culprits!!!
Now about this action by "peoples power"...do I think this is the best course of action? NO, I do not!
However, when I think that the need of the hour is to exercise ZERO TOLERANCE for LTTE scum, I am not sure if this action is outside that realm...

Sam P,
Mate, you said some good points there, specially on the possibility of disintegration of India. I didn't account that.
I agree with fairly large volunteer force too.
I also couldn't understand, what you meant by mountain divisions. Could you please elaborate on that.
I suggest we create Television series called Bomb Watch.
The program will air live on days that are suspected
the LTTE will carry out it's terrorist bombings.
It will be on
stand by 24 hours and perhaps give the state of
cities every 2 or 3 hours.
If and when LTTE makes a Terrorist Bomb attack
the TV crew will rush there (Logistics should be handled
for maximum coverage of Island.) and cover the Brutal
Massacar.
To gain maximum benefit of such a program
it should be sold to TV operators around the world
who would wish to buy it (or even given free).
So the subtle threat that Peter is making here
about bombings in Colombo for the January
Tamil Thai Pongal day can be used to show to
the world the dedication of the LTTE to terrorism.
Though I have been watching this blog for a long time, this is the first time I want to comment.
Though I like to see the Sri Lanka being peaceful, multi ethnic and equal opportunity country as envisaged by many in this blog, I like to express a word of caution.
First, I believe that SLA is drawn into this euphoric status by LTTE.
This may be false sense of success that LTTE wants SLA to have.
Second, Many of the experienced divisions of LTTE has not participated in the war so far. They are hidden and unused for most of the current skirmishes.
Just like the earlier unceasing waves operations of LTTE, this time also we can see such onslaughts that would demoralize and drive SLA out of Wanni.
Probably the SLA has learnt its lessons based on the earlier experiences with LTTE. Yet, the current euphoria exhibited by SLA and its supporters make me believe that the SLA has not learnt its lessons. This is a false sense of success/security.
And to top it all, many of the towns are cleanly vacated by LTTE and in most cases without any bloodshed by LTTE. Specifically LTTE is making the SLA spread thin in large space and make SLA weaker. While LTTE accumulates its strength in one small space. That too closer to Mullaitivu where the SLA had faced many difficulties in the earlier wars.
Now the war of attrition is expected to be started by LTTE. With the black tigers, they would enact many suicide missions on the garrisons of SLA and kill many SLA men.
If SLA wants to win the war, they have to rethink the strategy. Whether they want to wait and start the attrition of the LTTE cadres or make the population captured by the LTTE to lose patience by prolonging their stay with LTTE, I do not know.
But in all probability, the current conflict seems to be scripted by LTTE, and not by SLA.
That is the danger.
Rana,
Since the end of WW-II, Australia has never had an insurgency on its hands. Australia would have fallen with less resistance than Singapore during WW-II if it was attacked, and that was a great fear at that time, but was spared because Japan decided that demolishing the British in Burma and then India had higher priority, and later return to the military backwater, that was Australia.
Today, Australia is completely exposed to enemies because of its small defence force. It relies on its alliance with the US for protection, and that alliance is very strong. There are various forces emerging in that region, especially in Indonesia and the Phillipines, that Australia is not equipped to deal with at present. Australia's great advantage is that it does not have a separatist community within it at present, that could change in the next 20 years. Only time will tell.
Sri Lanka is not a high priority to the US; pleasing India is a much greater priority. Also, every powerful nation we ally ourselves with, will want a pound of flesh out of us, and may become a greater disease than the disease we are trying to protect ourselves against.
So, we have to do a balancing act between powerful allies, any one of whom who can eat us whole at any time.
Therefore, the key is to make sure that we have our own defense force that is large enough to make any potential powerful enemy, or powerful ally, think twice about the cost in lives and treasure, of moving against Sri Lanka.
This is what Switzerland, sandwiched between Germany, France and Italy, has done so well over several centuries, in a Europe always at war.
Good Morning Sri Lanka! (by a whisker- heh heh).
Well its good to see some familiar key board heroes back discussing what we should do when the land struggle is over.
Hey, Rana. My contact will contact you soon bro.
Sam, Ananda, Sujeewa,
About the future of SLDF, I am with you guys. It would all depend on if they want to go down this track. For my part I am willing to help in whatever for. There are various sustainable ways in which expatriates can help:
A)National Services (e.g. Health, Engineering/logistics)- Expats can develop professional OS associations which could provide rostered professionals to visit with thier families and have a working holiday. Invariably they would mostly want to go to relatively remote places. The places that require their services. They will come and spend their tourist dollars in SL as well.
SL just need to provide:
1) Training courses- to brief them about SL conditions and how to deal with them. Such courses would make the trip a buisness trip and tax deductible.
2) Provide access to accomodation at local/near-local rates.
A win-win both ways. Sustainable because many people would want to come.
B) Investment- Ensure that SLDF and GSL are involoved in productive industries with good potential with entry level shares. i.e High risk/High return; rleatively low initial cost. Only those with significant patriotism would invest. But hey, every drop counts.
Alternately expatriates could develop partnerships with local firms and commence production of goods and services.
C) Charity work: Above mentioned professional association can also be involved (perhaps via thrid parties like Ranaviru) in delivering appropriate goods and services to the needy.
D) Education: There are hundreds and thousands of expatriates who are highly trained and can help bolster training programmes in Sri Lanka. Especially the Defence University.
All this could be done relatively free of Government interference and corrupt Civil Servants, if GSL and SLDF had the will to effect it.
[I also couldn't understand, what you meant by mountain divisions. Could you please elaborate on that.]

He meant to say "topless division" which is mountain division.

That was from fake "bhairav" ID too. Seeing at the ID, you can verify the fake and real.
with area available to LTTP getting smaller by the day things get harder for LTTP & easier for SLDF. specially SLAF.
not even US marines can give their best if faced under present circumsatances by LTTP. so holding onto best reserves till last could be a matter of too little too late.
the proposals put forward by sinhala expats for future dvelopment of SL might give heart attacks to LTTP suckers. or they might explode with jealousy. BANG!!! more pieces to be collected.
truthseeker said..
[First, I believe that SLA is drawn into this euphoric status by LTTE.]
Good words of caution; but I don't think either the SLA, or the bloggers here, are foolishly being euphoric. All patriots are very glad that things have turned out very well so far, and are celebrating.
However, we are all well aware of the difficulty of rooting out the remaining LTTE cadre.
I expect (and others do as well) some LTTE cadres to use the civilians as a human shield in fortifications enveloping the A35 route, while other LTTE cadres disappear into the Mullaitivu jungle, to continue the fight from there.
Anticipating the latter scenario, I recently posted (and sent to MOD/SLA)a proposal for building two roads to more easily access the Mullaitivu District Jungle.
As you say, caution should be the watchword going forward.

i don't care which bhairav it was but that comment was funny.
It was little disturbing to hear that LTTE has managed to send out a fairly large number of cadres to previously liberated areas (by SLDF) through clandestine routes.
The LTTE teams popping up in the East are examples. In addition, Vavunia and the other parts of the country i.e. the Up Country Estates also places for LTTE to send cadres for hiding.
It is important for SLDF not only to attack, but guard the rear ends too.
Most importantly, they require to deploy Ambush Teams in jungle patches that have been liberated.
This worked well in the 90s in Mullative, Kokkuthuduwai, Killinochchi areas, as our guys were harvesting 6 -8 LTTE mF&rs daily.
Puran Apu,
[Looks like 53rd will take EPS North and then declare EPS as liberated. ]
Although we do not have information regarding that I totally agree with you.
It is very unlikely that 58 will crossover to the peninsula given the narrow stretch at EPS. Although Palai is under serious fire from 53+55, 58 is nowhere close as of last night. For 58 to reach Palai they need to clear Soranpattu and Iyakachchi intersections. There is no way that LTTE can operate at Nagarkovil- Champiyanpattu if that happened.
Thoughtful analysis by truthseeker. It would be hard to believe that the Grand Chess Master has not thought of this.
If the script is written by the LTTE, then it is a very old script. Just what the GCM would love.

Sam, you could not have said a truer word.
It was almost an axoim in Sri Lanka, that the LTTE could not be defeated militarily. We had not even marshalled all the forces we could, and all the nay sayers, some among our own people, had already concluded it could not be done. All that they did was to demoralize the common people so much, that they began to parrot the same tune.
I suppose it is all a question of attitude: the pessimits see the glass as half empty, while the optimists see it as half full.
Optimism buttressed by careful study, preparation and determination to see things through to completion, can solve most apparently insurmountable problems.

Ravi Malhotra,
You are a true South Asian son. When you need our help we will give you our best shot!
I thought MTV was Music Television Network. has some one breached Copyright Laws? (Heh Heh).
Even if a broadcasting outfit is openly promoting Terror, it is not appropriate to promote goons to attack it. President MR has quite rightly asked the Police to act promptly.
OTOH, if one can demonstarte that a media outlet is engaged in terror promotion, then it is incumbent on the officers of the Law to interdict such an organisation. If you do not do this then you invite thuggery like this.
A good example is JRJ who kept the soldiers in barracks instead of giving the security forces some freedom to quell terror uprising in Jaffna. This resulted in considerable tension in the south that I personally witnessed on my visits in the early 1980's. In this context July 1983 was predictable. I am sure the Diasporic owners of LTTE did predict it.
SL cannot afford such repetitions again. Best approach is prevetion (i.e. give powers to the judiciary and law enforcers to curtail antiSL activity. Parliament's responsibility is to pass such laws). Has the SL parliament supported MR, the law enforcement agencies or the Judiciary in this?
If you could not prevent an incident such as this, then take prompt action to deal with culprits, denounce the act immediately and get on with the business of maintaining Law and Order. I think MR has done the latter.
I tend to agree with the concept of having a bigger Army even after the current war.
However we must use most of the manpower to produce something (fishing, farming, .. brick manufacturing... ), so that all burden do not go on top of few honest tax payers.
What do you guys think?
Vajira,
Thanks for the heads up about the WAR it self.For sometime the blog became to mingle abt Maharaja TV.
Yes i guess 55 DIV hasn't moved as NGK straight is too narrow to move in front in the harsh terrain.
And I havnt heard anything about 58 attacking sorunpattu , liyakachchi. So they will wait till Plai is cleared ,But my guess is our arti fire must be pouring in to liyakachchi,Sorunpttu,santuary strech.
And Mech's are also somewhere around ready for deployment.Anyway this is a decisive state of this war.
last_mile,
Please look at my previous posts on supporting part of the cost of maintaining a large SLDF through military production and national development activities.
I have written at least 15 articles at this blog, on this very subject.
ag,
"and most of them are sinhalese and i know some of them and they are some of the most patriotic people i have come across even to the degree of being chauvanistic and racist."
if they are chauvanistic and racist, they cannot be patriotic to a multi-ethnic country. (the definition of patriotism of a mon ethnic country like tamil elam is different)
"whatever, hidden motives that the owners of this media outfit may have, i think it's wrong for people to take the "law" into their own hands. if this media crossed the line, then the authorities should take them to task according to the law instead of allowing goons run amok."
100% true.
we have a supreme court that goes by the letter of the law (not by the spirit of the law). this is a fantastic opportunity to punish not only mtv, but also many other anti-constitution traitors.
the mtv attack only produced humliation.
i call upon the
"think tanks" behind this attack to file a case in the supreme court listing out the violations of the law mtv group has committed.
however, there is also the possibility of a self-arranged attack to seek sympathy and publicity.
mtv is better in the hands of another owner.
The terrorist who had been described as a military genius by Solheim, you remember the guy, has been defeated. It is now only a matter of time before the armed forces and the police that include the special task force will completely defeat the armed terrorist gang that had the support of the west and India at one time or another. I was a participant in a Rupavahini programme recently where I tried to analyse the situation and come to a certain conclusion. However the inexperienced presenter did not know anything on building an argument and he was only happy to fill the time allocated with some words, and he was not interested in the conclusion! I will try to present my case through this column.
How did the armed forces managed to defeat the so called invincible terrorist group of the westerners? A number of factors have contributed to the victory of the armed forces. The dedication, the capability, discipline and the heroic involvement of the soldiers have been one of the most important factors. Then we have the military leadership given by the secretary to the Ministry of Defence and the commanders of the armed forces. Thirdly the political leadership given by the President contributed very much to this victory. Then we come to the ideological hegemony that was finally established over the hegemony of the non national forces that gathered behind Solheim and others to inflate the terrorists into a mythical invincible force.
It was only the other day that Shanie advocated a ceasefire for the Christmas. He/she was not alone in requesting the ceasefire, and there were others like the all religions group. When the government ignored all these Samaritans and humanitarians Shanie thought that it was an opportunity lost, of course for peace. However one could achieve peace by defeating the terrorists though they will definitely explode a few bombs here and there for sometime, but not for long. It follows that the government by not declaring a ceasefire in fact did not give any breathing space for the LTTE, which is what Shanie and others wanted, and accelerated the peace process. These ceasefires are only Trojan horses and I am sure that the President is well aware of it. If a ceasefire was declared for Christmas then ceasefires would have had to be declared for other religious festivals as well, and the armed forces would have been spending more time in the barracks.
The LTTE was elivated to the status of an invincible force by the westerners with the assistance of India and with the ample support given by the so called intellectuals. There were mushroom war specialists some of whom called it a war and sometimes eelam war. They went on to call it eelam war one two three four, though strictly speaking there was no war at all. These so called experts who do not have any conceptual clarity have gone on to call the present operations the eelam war IV. The armed forces were only involved in operations against the terrorists and it was neither a civil war nor a war between two countries. Apart from these editors and others who talked of a war there were others who thought that war was not for Buddhists. One Thambiah supposed to be a so called sociologist wrote a book entitled Buddhism betrayed. His arguments were met though not in the jargon of western sociology and other western social sciences that limp behind western physical sciences. The dry jargon of western academic disciplines is not for us and we avoid it as much as possible, in spite of the third class engineers who turned out to be third class sociologists, and others.
The "gonibilla" that was created out of a coward (what spirited tigers) gang of terrorists was exploded long time ago and we advocated defeating of the LTTE and said that the terrorists could be defeated when most of the others had been mesmerized by the western "war experts", who compared Prabhakaran not only to the best guerrilla leaders but to conventional war heroes such as Napoleon. We knew that the terrorist leader was not the cobra that was presented to us but a mere rattlesnake or "garandiya". The garandiya may escape with the assistance of the west perhaps to establish an eelam in exile. Whatever he does he is bound to fail, but the forces should try to bring him to Colombo to be given a deserving farewell, perhaps in the presence of the western diplomats.
It is a well known secret that the westerners tried to apply pressure to the government not to go forward with the operations. The former commanders also had tried to convince the former Presidents that the terrorists could not be defeated. The former Presidents were more than willing to listen to those spineless commanders, and go down on their knees to the western diplomats. We were able to see through it and had written on number of times that if the government were to say no to the demands by the west firmly then there was nothing that the latter could do. All credit should go to Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse for standing up to western and Indian pressure and he would be ranked with great Sinhala kings such as Gemunu, Valagamba, Dhathusena, Vijayabahu and Parakramabahu.
It was not only the LTTE that has been defeated. It is basically Tamil racism created and nurtured by the Dutch and the British that was defeated. I do not want to go into details as I have dealt with this subject on number of occasions but suffice is to mention that the Vellalas who were brought by the Dutch for the tobacco cultivation were made the leaders of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) by the British later on. The British who were afraid of Sinhala nationalism from the very beginning cultivated a Tamil vellala leadership around the Ponnamabalam Coomaraswami family over the Sinhala leaders. The Sinhala people who constituted more than seventy five percent of the population with a history of more than two thousand three hundred years were equated with the descendants of Tamil Vellalas who did not have a history of more than two hundred years at that time.
The Tamil supremacy was established and it was drilled into the heads of the Vellala leaders that they were the leaders of the country. Tamil racism was sponsored by the British in order to crush Sinhala nationalism and they themselves brought labour from present Tamil Nadu to act as a buffer between the Sinhalas in the up country and the British government in Sri Lanka. The demand for equal representation in the legislature for Sinhalas and Tamils sprung from this Tamil supremacy which was a minority supremacy established with the assistance of the British imperialists.
However, with universal franchise which the Vellalas opposed introduced by the British in good faith of the leaders that they had created for the Sinhalas the things began to go wrong for Tamil minority supremacy and Tamil racism. The leaders after all did not fail the British, and until the advent of Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse the west was not unhappy in general with their products. There was one Tamil Vellala, a Christian for that matter who understood that it was not possible for the Tamils to be leaders of the country after the introduction of universal franchise and he opted for a separate state in the Northern and the Eastern Provinces. The so called injustices to the Tamils were created and grievances of Tamils were mentioned in addition to a bogus history of the country and the Northern and the Eastern Provinces in order to justify a separate state in the two provinces. We asked the question as to what the injustices caused to the Tamils due to being Tamils and no satisfactory answer was given. It turned out that these so called grievances had arisen out of administrative problems which could have been corrected without any difficulty. However, the Tamil Vellala elite having realised that they could not become leaders of Sri Lanka as a whole wanted a separate state and the next generation took up arms to achieve what the elite had wanted. The whole exercise was based on a bogus injustices problem and as such there is no problem to be solved as far as the Tamils (and Muslims) are concerned.
However there was a problem, it being Tamil minority supremacy and the solution the Tamils proposed with the assistance of the west, which became part of the problem was a separate state. There was only one solution to the whole problem and now that solution has been given. Any military solution is also a political solution and the armed forces have now given a political solution to the problem of Tamil minority supremacy and separatism. The APRC has no role to play now and all talk on devolution of power to satisfy Tamil minority supremacy and separatism has no currency. The APRC should be dissolved.
However we have a different problem altogether. That is the question of integrating the Tamils and other ethnic groups to the already existing Sinhala nation may be under a different name. One may call it national integration but it is definitely not nation building as a nation already exists. The national integration is up to the Tamils and the other ethnic groups and a solution could be found if the Tamil and other leaders stop going round the world with the assistance of the west criticizing the Sinhala nation for so called injustices. If they want they can learn from Obama who has become culturally an Anglo Saxon American Christian (he is Christian in religion as well) without criticizing the existing American nation and culture. Obama unlike some of our Tamil (and Muslim) leaders has been integrated into the American society and is not a minority President. He knows more than any Muslim in the world that had he remained a Muslim he would never have become the President of USA.

link for above post
it's heartening to see that there is quite a few of us who agree that irrespective of the MTV/MBC motives that they should have been dealt with through the proper channels of the law (like revoking their licence) than by a bunch of thugs.
the government does not need more bad publicity and pressure from within and without at this juncture. despite the swift condemnation by MR and company, i sadly doubt that the culprits will be brought to justice.
probably it's too much to ask but i hope that after the war is won that the next objective will be to eradicate the scourge of thuggery and corruption.
last_mile,
I agree that we must not let a large armed force be a burden. but we NEED A LARGE ARMED FORCE FOR THE FUTURE. they could be even used to train foreign (friendly) armed forces. They could also participate in civil construction to a certain degree.
but i think the engineering corp should be made more productive.
we must start producing military hardware on our own with or without collabaration. naval, air as well as ground. this will save foreign exchange. we could probably export them to friendly countries. the military hardware we do at the moment should be improved & advanced.
I am sure we could succeed. everybody who said LTTE cannot be defeated was proved wrong. this "cannot" business has to stop forever. this is the best time.
Puran Appu,
573 Brigade is in an unmentionable place, even accepted by Tamilnet.
I'm sure they will pop up with the news once 574 reaches the south eastern border of the Kilinochchi built up.
Moshe,
"if they are chauvanistic and racist, they cannot be patriotic to a multi-ethnic country. (the definition of patriotism of a mon ethnic country like tamil elam is different)"
i should have worded it better. what i meant was there are lot of patriotic people working there. but there are also some over-zealous ones who hold racist and chauvanistic ideals (there's always a bad egg here and there). now you and i might not consider them as patriots but you try telling them that. each his own, as i say.
as for the possibility of this being a self-arranged stunt for whatever reasons, i don't give it much credibility. if there is such a possibility, i hope that the investigation into the attack would bring this to light and appropriate action will be taken.

Hi Guys,
Sorry that I have to bring you this link (http://bandaragama.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/01
Look at the way this person humiliate our heroes in the name of media freedom.
In his post he points the finger at our military,
The post heading - "How ‘jaathika veerayaas’ vandalised Sirasa TV"
I think this Banadaragama wordpress site is admin'ed by that filthy mangy dog called Shakti in LNP (Go to his memberpage in LNP and you'll see what I mean)
Once LTTE is crushed all these filthy sons of whore's will be forced to flee with their tail between their legs.
Until then, we must take care not to give ammo to these scums. Attacking Sirasa was just the thing they wanted, IMO.....
At a time when SLA is screwing the Fat Pig upside down, we must thread very carefully and be aware that scums like Shakti are waiting to trap us in the wrong foot....
Vajira,
Thanks Bro.
Vajira,
Is it possible to send the tamilnet link regarding this?
Ananda-USA,
I have read many posts by you regarding this and value them too...
DoDo said,
"At a time when SLA is screwing the Fat Pig upside down, we must thread very carefully and be aware that scums like Shakti are waiting to trap us in the wrong foot...."
my sentiments exactly.
on a related note, sadly i find that like a lot of our politicians, there are some media who do not have the maturity and sophistication to know the difference between doing their job and not jeopardising national security. it's a very blurry line and easy to cross in the pursuit of truth. that's why we need a strong regulatory body to draw the line and set up a code of ethics, so that those who fall foul of the law can be taken to task.
Rascacapac:
Tintin fan?
Ali,
[Is there no movement from the 55 . Does not look like the NK axis area has movement .]
Wrong. Although there was no forawrd thrust reported in Nagarkovil, the 55th Div. operates in Muhamalai (north of A9) too. 53 operates in Muhamalai (south of A9) and Kilali areas. Yesterdays capture of the last defence line was achieved by 53 and 55 both.
Also 58 is nowhere near the sanctuary to impose blockade.
May I rack your brains guys?
Who was the commander at the time of the EPS debacle in 2000? Was it Gen Weerasooriya or Gen Balagalle?
573 is a holding division.
sorry holding brigade not division...

Vajira,
Brother, I think you are correct but orbat map which was updated yesterday does not show any movement for 55 and 53 both.
However, I am sure seen some news items to the effect that 53 and 55 is now surrounding Pallai.
Please check and report back, mate.

Terrorists Sandwiched in Terrains Struck
JAFFNA: TERRORISTS evading the horrific experience of being sandwiched between the joint 53 and 55 Division troops from JAFFNA and the 58 Division troops moving from the north of PARANTHAN were pursued and targeted in the captured southern area of the ELEPHANT PASS late Tuesday (6) evening.
57 Division troops took the lead in unleashing the attacks on those terrorists who remained trapped in above areas. The fighting saw many terrorists killed and a dozen injured.

LOL!
Rana,
There progress was a mere 500m (last LTTE defence line). But since then they have advanced close to Palai.
DoDO,
Macho, second para, is it 57 or 58?
quickly, bro.
Thanks Vajira.
Rana,
I think you spotted out a mistake. It should be 58th not 57th.
Probably a typo in Army.lk
DoDo,
Thanks, mate.
Hi Everybody,
Few days ago I posted a link asking support for our fund raising project (http://www.ranavirufund.blogspot.com). It started a discussion which indicated that many who are willing to show their gratitude towards soldiers were afraid to donate to funds which they are not sure about. This is perfectly understandable and I published a second post describing the Sevavanitha child scholarship program where donors can contribute to the welfare of the children of fallen/disabled servicemen while being 100% sure that the donations reach the intended recipients.
I'm happy to say that I have received over 20 emails from DW bloggers asking for the application form. Many of you emailed me again after submitting the application form to Sevavanitha (some had applied for sponsorship for more than one child). It was very heartening to see that almost everybody who responded were determined to spread the news amongst relatives and friends to sponsor more children.
For the benefit of those who did not read my post I'll describe the process very briefly again
Seva Vanitha Scholarship Fund
"Seva Vanitha Scholarship Fund" gives you the opportunity of sponsoring a child of a fallen/disabled soldier on a monthly basis. The stipulated monthly contribution is only Rs.750-1000 (depending on the age of the child), but you can donate more if you like. Procedure is very transparent, and you can verify all the details of the recipient before you start contributing. Your contribution will directly go into the recipient’s account and you can decide the duration of the scholarship. Please email me at hareen_m@yahoo.com for the application form and a detailed description.
turkey sandwich? looks like it's open season in the elephant pass sector.
i am glad to hear that the 53/55 and 58 are pursuing and hammering the terras and not allowing them to flee to mullathivu. only if we had some numbers to go on.

SIRASA" ATTACK BY OWN MASTER PLAN..............
The Mtv/ Mbc attack was orchestrated by them selves. They had already moved
all important equipment to the their new studio complex at Ratmalana (old
S-Lon factory) so that the Depanama complex will be given/ rented out to
Airtel. All this was done to descredit the government and to take away focus
from the victorious armed forces and most of all to upgrade their equipment
with the US $ 6,000,000 insurance claim (as they did before). Even after a
petrol bomb was thrown at the studios 3 days ago, why did they have only 2
security guards on duty??????? WHY????
The truth hurts!
They had already moved
all important equipment to the their new studio complex at Ratmalana (old
S-Lon factory) so that the Depanama complex will be given/ rented out to
Airtel.
Even though Sirasa claimed 95% of their critical equipment was destroyed, they managed to be back on air within few hours time!
Something very suspicious indeed.
Ultimate benefactors of the Sirasa attack was LTTE and its anti-Govt cohorts, since it significantly moved the spotlight away from LTTE's largest military debacle ever.
Govt should thoroughly investigate this ASAP!
sirasa fiasco is self sabotage.
even a small bank has more security.
y couldnt anyone call 119???
they all had mobile phones.
no underworld gang can carry t56 b4 being checked in colombo.
it is done by ravi.k after having a meeting in borella with other Thamil politicos/unp members/underworld people.
but cannot rule out Dr. Dutugemunu and his friend lal peiris (Justice of Peace) AKA kudu lal!
foolish singala underworld
Vajira,
As I know 573 brigade was coupled with 63 DIV(TF3) as 633 brigade.
It was bcoz 573 was the brigade tht was on the way to Mankulam. Since 63 DIV's first task was to capture Mankulam 573 was coupled with 63 as 633...
Dr.Jones,
If there's anything bothering you please don't hesitate, Bring it on...!
Your Mama must have taught you how to stand up like a man.
Cut the crap and bring up the question.
Thanks Hareendra,
You are a gentleman.
We should investigate this well and should punish all these Maharaja bastards.
Maharaja is Terrorist organization.
There are few patriots in Sirasa TV, but they help to destroy the country for money.
It is indeed very sad situation that Sirasa Tv attacked. But Why govt has to attack this station when all the things are going right for government.
But converse Sirasa TV has to put a good show to fall in their popularity after Swarnawahini and Derana rises.
God knows whats happening
MZ, DoDo, Thiru,
Thanks mates.
I recall another case like this, last year. Wasn't there some newspaper printing press which was destroyed? We thought the same thing at the time. It was too easy that the newspaper (was it Mongala's) which was anti-Government suddenly had two windfalls:
1)Insurance payout
2)Anti-Gov. Propaganda
After the end of "Tamil-Underworld", I hope MR will go hard at the "Sinhala-Underworld".
Is there any news on Ranil Ponnayas Ivasuwa Ethi Protest.
After this election UNP will say Ivasuva Ethi
All,
We should stick to real defence events than unwanted publicity towards Sirasa.
Our attention should re-divert towards EPS / Mulaitivu.
I think it is Sunday Leader Printing Press. So it is evident that some anti National forces are behind these attacks and put the blame on to government and show the IC that Srilanka is a failed state like zimababwe.
Maiyl,
That was that male-prostitute Lasantha Wickremetunga's Sunday Leader Press :)
------------------
Hanas,
Rani Ponnasingham, Hukeem, Mano Gonosan and Pongala to protest today eve. Only one missing in the protest is Velupillai Prabhakaran :)
If, SLA captured VP, what will be the best way to punish him?
1.Kill him on the spot
2.Death penalty after a court hearing
3.Send him to india
4.Other
pls vote....
Perin,
Sirisa issue also a defence event. Because sirasa trying to put black marks on our troops.
5. Kill him after recording him making a statement apologizing to everyone (ala Wijeweera)
Attack is the Best Defence,
Most suitable punishments are written in history books.
Our boys should find an innovative punishment for VP by mixing those 32.
SOLE REPRESENTATIVES OF TAMILS
4. Other
Pluck out all his myles while Peter counts them out loudly..
Rascacapac,
No nothing's bothering me, just noticed your handle and thought you were a Tintin fan; if not apologies, don't bother.
thambala,
a good one.
It looks like that the remaining strategic locations will be squeezed in the coming days to weeks. I would guess that once the troops take control of Theravilkulam, it's curtains for Tigers in the strategic locations.
After that mopping up will presumably occur in the jungle (if it's not already happening).
I wonder if the civilian will escape like in the east or if a siege situation would occur.
In the latter case I hope GSL will use massive World wide propaganda about it. It's check-mate. If they hold the civilians hostage then the Tamil-Diaspora reputation will be irretrievably damaged. If the civilians are allowed to escape then the remaining tigers will be rapidly harvested and the population will tell horror stories which can be again used for World-wide propaganda to damage the diaspora.
Of course, knowing the Diaspora-LTTE history so far we will probably see something in between- Harvesting of LTTE, horrific treatment of Civilians, a case for hunting down every last remaining fascist LTTE-supporting diaspora overseas. This is not the best outcome for the civilians trapped in Mullaitivu but we must have the resolve to use any further crimes against these civilians to devastate the fascist Tamil Dravidianists to dust.
Check-Mate: you can't win this one. You can't escape your fate. It is a shameful end that awaits you. The only possible better outcome you can hope for is to confess openly, point fingers at worse perpetrators and throw your self at the mercy of authorities and the courts of your host-countries. Oh, and pay compensation. If you don't we will help the victims to seek their just compensation.
Urban Jungle in the South of SL on the other hand will be a different challenge. I expect that intelligence about black tiger sleepers in the south will start flowing when Mullaitivu falls. Again victims are likely to be an important source of information.
What a nightmare for our friends.
Placebo,That's the one brother. That's the one.
As far as killing him goes- I think he has already been sentenced to capital punishment. I understand that SL has special provisions under the law to execute horrendous criminals. So, there is no need to do anything illegal. It can be done in front of the World.
Make sure he names everyone. There should be a lot of people in high places, around the World and in SL shaking in their boots.
Dr.Jones,

The fall of Kilinochchi represents an important point in the 25-year war that has divided Sri Lanka. We hope that this event will help hasten an end to the conflict, said a press release issued by the United States Embassy in Colombo yesterday (Jan 5).
'The United States does not advocate that the Government of Sri Lanka negotiate with the LTTE, a group designated by the United States since 1997 as a Foreign Terrorist Organization,' the release further said. However, 'The U.S. believes that a lasting, sustainable peace can best be achieved if the Sri Lankan Government works now to reach a political solution that addresses the aspirations of all Sri Lankans, including Tamils, Muslims, and Sinhalese,' the release added.
Hi Thiru
How come suddenely LTTE got middle tier leadership issues?
As per you, Peter, Mahen, LTTE is so powerful that they do not have any issues.
Is this because they started loosing grounds?
Mahen,
I guess this is part of the LTTE master plan scheduled to the dot on the hour and a Senior LTTE Military planner let you in on this.
Look man you are jeopardizing LTTE's grand plan for counter attack.
(
Sure this will probably happen.
Now you are trying to scare the Sinhala Modayas with their own victories. And you can rely on SLA victories for making predictions... Unlike the miserably failed nov 27 th poof poof you did..

I sooooo saaaaaad :(((((
Mahen, Thiru, Peter & other Eelam wishes
Do you expect the following
"LTTE guns down and hangs fleeing civilians
LTTE has threatened civilians in the areas still held by it with death as traitors if any attempt made to flee. To prove they are serious of this threat they have displayed bodies of 3 civilians near the Ponnambalam hospital. The bodies were hanged on posts that had banners stating "Fate of traitors', according to civilians, who have managed to escape and are now in IDP welfare centers at Vavuniya and Welioya
These civilians were killed by LTTE death squads, and dragged in public a long way before being mutilated and displayed, the sources said. Meanwhile, the rising agitation against LTTE dictatorship has resulted in a few confrontations between civilians and LTTE operatives.
This revelation of the scale of atrocities perpetrated by the LTTE, leaving over hundreds suffocating under its tyranny in the non-liberated areas at the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts, was made by civilians who spoke to our Wanni correspondent on a visit made to IDP welfare centers at Vavuniya and Welioya.
Human suffering in the non-liberated areas is escalating at an unprecedented scale with LTTE terrorists tightening its grip over the stranded civilians, state independent reports from the welfare centres in Vavuniya and Welioya. .
Despite these threats hundreds of civilians from Mullaittiuvu, Puthukkudiyiruppu and Visvamadu areas have fled and sought protection with security forces during the past few days.
A group of 35 civilians from Ananda-Puliyankulam area, were surrounded and severely beaten by an LTTE-led mob near the Sambankulama junction last December, a civilian said. The terrorists had assaulted the people including women and the elderly, killing two people and dragging away the rest whose fate is yet to be known, our sources said citing the civilians.
It will be recalled that when the LTTTE was beginning its terrorist activities in the 1980s, it used similar public killings and lamp-post hangings of those who were opposed to it in the Jaffna peninsula. Some analysts say the terrorist group is now going back to such practices as civilian opposition to it rises.
The LTTE is a ruthless terrorist outfit that has been engaged in a bloody terrorist campaign against the citizens of Sri Lanka since 1983. Lead by a psychopathic chief, the outfit has been trying to establish an ethnically pure Tamil state on the Sri Lankan soil. The LTTE is also the first terrorist outfit to use suicide bombers, and to develop naval and aerial fighting capability. The outfit is listed in the UN list of shame for using child soldiers and banned in many countries in the world.

The Mtv/ Mbc attack was orchestrated by them selves. They had already moved
all important equipment to the their new studio complex at Ratmalana (old
S-Lon factory) so that the Depanama complex will be given/ rented out to
Airtel. All this was done to descredit the government and to take away focus
from the victorious armed forces and most of all to upgrade their equipment
with the US $ 6,000,000 insurance claim (as they did before). Even after a
petrol bomb was thrown at the studios 3 days ago, why did they have only 2
security guards on duty??????? WHY????
The truth hurts!
YEAH...YEAH I AGREE...!!! THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO TOPPLE THIS GOVERNMENT...!!! THEY WILL GAIN PUBLICITY ALSO...!!! FOR THE DAMAGED ITEMS THEY WILL GET INSURANCE...!!!
Supreme Court of India approves Jayalalita petition to recover Kachchatheevu island from Sri Lanka

[Government gets SC notice on Kachchatheevu
IANS
First Published : 05 Jan 2009
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Monday issued notice to the government on a plea of former Tamil Nadu chief minister J. Jayalalitha to retrieve a 285-acre island in the Palk Strait off Rameshwaram from Sri Lanka.
A bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Justice Markandey Katju and Justice P. Sathasivam issued the notice on the AIADMK chief's plea that the late prime minister Indira Gandhi had ceded the Kachchatheevu island to Sri Lanka in 1974 without suitably amending the constitution.
Appearing for Jayalalitha, senior counsel Harish Salve contended that the government was, in fact, yet to amend the constitution which is mandatory for effecting any change in the area of the Indian territory.
In her lawsuit, filed through counsel Srikala Guru Krishnakumar last August, Jayalalitha has also sought the court's direction to the government to restore the rights of the fishermen to visit the island with their vessels for fishing and earning their livelihood.
In her lawsuit, Jayalalitha said Kachchatheevu, a small barren island in the Palk Strait, "was historically the part of Raja of Ramnad jamindari (landholding) and after the abolition of jamindari system in 1948, it became the part of Madras presidency".
But the Indian government, acceding to an unjustified Sri Lankan territorial claim over the island being made since 1921, ceded it to the southern neighbour under an India-Sri Lanka maritime agreement in 1974 without the mandatory constitutional amendment, added Jayalalitha, who is Leader of Opposition in the Tamil Nadu assembly.
She said the island was used by the fishermen of both countries to dry their nets, to rest and to pray in St. Antony's Church, built on the island by an Indian fisherman of Ramnad.
Stating that the fishermen from both sides undertook fishing in the waters around the island without any animosity, Jayalalitha said the island was of "strategic importance and special significance" for fishing operations in the area.
She said in her petition that despite consistent protests by locals and their representatives on the floor of parliament, the Indian government ceded the island to Sri Lanka through 1974 agreement, which remains unratified by parliament till date.
She added that the government even surrendered the rights of the fishermen to Sri Lanka in 1976, depriving livelihood to a large population of fishermen from Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu.
She added that due to the Sri Lankan navy's "hostile attitude", the fishermen fear to go fishing near the island and have been deprived of their sole source of income.]

A Humble Appeal to Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh
(By: Dr. Ravi Malhotra President, Front Against Terrorism (FAT ) Mumbai, India)
"The Sri Lankan Government is in the process of systematically and successfully eliminating the terrorism from their soil and liberating the innocent Tamil civilians being held by the LTTE (better known as Tamil Tigers) as a human shield against their wish. We regret that the pro-LTTE politicians in the state of Tamil Nadu are pressurizing our Prime Minister Shri Dr Manmohan Singh to pressurize the Sri Lanka Government to enter into a ceasefire agreement (CFA) with the world's deadliest terrorist organization, the LTTE" writes Dr. Ravi Malhotra, President of the Mumbai based Front Against Terrorism (FAT).
"During the past three decades, the people of Sri Lanka, Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims have suffered enough from the terrorist activities of the LTTE. Only a person who has seen the horrible scenes following either a bomb blast or a suicide attack could comprehend it. I have witnessed the consequences of terrorism three weeks ago when terrorists attacked my home city, Mumbai. I have seen innocent people screaming, unconscious, dead and blown to pieces", he further asserts during an appeal documented to the Indian Premier, condemning the sinister motives of a few Tamil Nadu based LTTE proxy politicians.
Full text of the article follows.
There are many instances in the World history where well educated and matured Prime Ministers and Presidents of various countries have made wrong decisions and serious blunders, knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or by an oversight, causing significant downfall and irreversible damages to those countries. India has now reached a similar critical stage.
The Sri Lankan Government is in the process of systematically and successfully eliminating the terrorism from their soil and liberating the innocent Tamil civilians being held by the LTTE (better known as Tamil Tigers) as a human shield against their wish. We regret that the pro-LTTE politicians in the state of Tamil Nadu are pressurizing our Prime Minister Shri Dr Manmohan Singh to pressurize the Sri Lanka Government to enter into a ceasefire agreement (CFA) with the world's deadliest terrorist organization, the LTTE.
It is a well known open secret that it is India who created the LTTE for reasons known only to late Prime Minster of India Mrs Indira Gandhi and her close associates. It is a fact and not a fiction. It is a shame for India to commit such a crime against our own neighbour, people of Sri Lanka. In fact, India should be held directly responsible and accountable for the enormous damages done to property, infrastructure facilities and loss of human lives (grandparents, pregnant women, toddlers etc) during the past three decades. Frankly speaking, India should have compensated them. Sri Lankans are too polite. Otherwise, they would have gone to the international courts seeking compensation from India. India has done enough damages to our neighbouring country Sri Lanka unnecessarily. Now, it is the time to STOP it.
During the past three decades, the people of Sri Lanka, Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims have suffered enough from the terrorist activities of the LTTE. Only a person who has seen the horrible scenes following either a bomb blast or a suicide attack could comprehend it. I have witnessed the consequences of terrorism three weeks ago when terrorists attacked my home city, Mumbai. I have seen innocent people screaming, unconscious, dead and blown to pieces. Hon Prime Minister; You may have not seen those suffering from your own eyes. That should not have happened anywhere in the world, even to an animal. At a time when Sri Lanka is about to eliminate LTTE terrorists following a prolonged period of suffering, it is unfortunate to see that few selfish politicians in South India, once again, are stepping out to drag Sri Lanka back to suffering by taking unnecessary actions, which will definitely help the LTTE and also the separatist movements in India.
Hon Prime Minister; you may recall that V. Gopalsamy (better known as VaiKo), glorified the terror act of LTTE when they attacked the Colombo International Airport in Sri Lanka. It is on record; while addressing the public at a meeting, Vaiko declared, 'the boys were all less than 20 years old, entered the airport with ease, devastated many air-crafts, and caused extensive damage to the air-port. I am proud of the boys, since after causing huge loss all the boys returned safely without any loss of life'. Hon Prime Minister; Do you approve this criminal statement?
Soon after the failed assassination bid of former President of Sri Lanka, Mrs Chandrika Kumaratunga, the racist pro-LTTE politician Vaiko publically said "She needs to be lucky every time, but we need to be lucky only once". Do you understand the hidden meaning of this criminal statement? Hon Prime Minister; Do you approve this criminal statement?
These two criminal statements should be more than enough to refresh your memory if you have forgotten the true colors of Vaiko. Now, it is the same Vaiko and the gang who are demanding you to pressurize the Sri Lankan Government. Has Sri Lankan Government ever pressurized Indian Government on our internal affairs? No. So, if that is the case, why should the Indian Government pressurize the Sri Lankan Government on their internal affairs? Is it fair? Let them handle their own business, internal affairs etc. In this particular case, the Sri Lankan Government has proven without any doubt that they can successfully resolve this issue by themselves provided that other countries do not interfere. The leader of the LTTE, mass murderer, Velupillai Pirapaharan is wanted by INTERPOL. Are you aware Pirapaharan is wanted by India too for the assassination of our former Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi ? Under these circumstances, I cannot understand how a person like you, the Prime Minister of India, has not rejected the demands by Vaiko and the gang? In fact, you should have immediately ordered Indian law enforcement authorities to arrest Vaiko and the gang under the prevailing laws in India.
We are proud of your recent statement made at the Lok Sabha, "There are no good terrorists and bad terrorists." Yes, terrorism any where is terrorism everywhere. Nothing could justify the killing of innocent civilians and the wanton destruction of property including national assets. We expect you to implement your statement, not only to India, but also to other countries including Sri Lanka.
Hon Prime Minister; In the name of humanity, our humble appeal to you is;
India has produced her greatest sons such as Mahathma Gandhi and Jawarlahal Nehru. Follow their foot-steps;
Our former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi did the worst crime in the contemporary history to our friendly neighbouring country Sri Lanka by breeding, nurturing and training the LTTE Tamil Tigers in Indian soil perhaps to destabilize the economically emerging Sri Lanka; Do not repeat the same crime again; Now you have the opportunity to undo it;
Leave party politics aside, do not surrender to the racist and unfair demands by pro-LTTE Tamil politicians in the state of Tamil Nadu;
People of Sri Lanka too are innocent human beings; Sri Lanka and India are blood relatives. We share common values and culture. Do not show the strength of your mussels to them; Practice the teachings of India's icon, her greatest son, Mahatma Gandhi;
Sri Lanka is systematically and successfully eliminating the terrorism from her soil. Please leave them alone; do not interfere with their internal matters; Help them, if our assistance is sought by the Sri Lankan Authorities;
At this critical juncture, the whole civilized world is watching your actions. India's future and credibility are in your hands. Please do not let down India, the people of India and Indians successfully living in other parts of the world, in front of the civilized world community.
Thank you.
