Government will
speak to the Tamil Diaspora

( October 24,
2012, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Tamils have become cheap political
silage for the President Mahinda Rajapakse regime even after the war victory
against the Tamil Tigers. The government is extending the age old and the well
practiced plan against the Tamils with the aim to keep them away from the
centre of attention, influence, or power them further. Local spins against the
Tamils are now being played in the international terrain. Everything that this
government did since coming to power is to bully the Tamils to bring them to
their submission level steadfast.
Empowers the
conquered, Heroic Nudity (Gaul standard bearer) and elevates
Having
understood that Tamils are playing unexpected superior international politics
is causing serious indigestions for the Rajapakse brothers and an olive branch
is deceptively waved with all the media glare to torpedo their campaign. The
nudity of this government is exposed once again. Instead of wrapping itself
with the clothes of self conscience and shame, it is exposing its state of
undress further through the magnifying glasses.
The whole
Diaspora Tamils were considered as hostile elements and proxy of the LTTE until
now and was demonised to such a level that any self respecting Tamil who were
driven from their lands will not sincerely fall foul to the bogy wolf cry of
the state .
The government
that is claiming that Diaspora Tamils are eager to join hands with the
government, is still to reveal the names of the Tamils who have come forward to
work with them. Many Tamil delegations have met the President since 1998. But
there is no tangible relationship being forged except for few Tamil drama and
dancing queens and the international benefit cheats and credit card fraudsters
shamelessly joining the government without any self esteem ignoring the wider
interest of the Tamils.
With the
Interpol wanted Kumaran Pathmanathan (KP) associated with the government to
save his own life, repeated attempts are being made to disturb and undermine
the Tamil Diaspora with his engagement. KP who was responsible for exporting
suicide kits and cyanide capsules to the LTTE that took the lives of hundreds
of thousands of people have even forgotten the golden rule of the LTTE to
swallow the cyanide capsule faced with danger, instead he is begging and
pleading to save his own life. The shattered remains of the suicide bombers of
KP’s creation has been effectively erased from the mind of the ego centric
international arms exporter of the LTTE.
The most
vociferous of the Tamil Diaspora group is the Global Tamil Forum. It had
recently extended an offer for talks with the government. Instead of
acknowledging the offer, the government is trying to play its dirty
poli-tricks to execute a terrible twist
and engage with some unknown frauds in the Tamil Diaspora.
The government
can reach Gopan Mahadeva likes as they have a history of working against the
wider Tamil interests. The man in the 1970’s was singing for his supper with
the Srimavo Bandaranayake government to emasculate the effort of the mainstream
Tamil leadership to negotiate with the government. Such persons will even write
poems to praise Mahinda Rajapakse for massacring the fellow Tamils to bring
peace in the country. There are many such unknown potty quantities in the Tamil
community whom will be provided with red carpet welcome to sell the wider Tamil
interests with much publicity.
During the term
of this President, many unprecedented acts of deception were perpetrated
against the Tamils. Diaspora Tamils were not exempt. Kidnaps, murders,
incommunicado detentions and imposing a blanket visa tax on visiting
non-resident Tamils to fill the coffers of the state speaks volume of the
mission of the government against Tamil minorities.
The big
statement of the government of engaging with the Tamil Diaspora comes at the
time when the siblings of the President is screaming at elected Tamil
parliamentarians that they are not the true representatives of the Tamils and
also letting loose a campaign to repeal the 13th amendment to the constitution.
The government
likes to play only the one sided drum and even when two sided tapper is
available, it will loudly beat the one sided bongos hits to hold on to power by
trampling with the Tamil rights and existence.
