10th anniversary of LTTE attack on sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy

today falls the 10th anniversary of the LTTE attack on the sacred temple of the Tooth Relic , the Sri Dhalada Maligawa in Kandy.Dhalada Maligawa is the most sacred of all the places of Buddhist worship and considerd as some thing that's equal to the Mecca for Islam or Jerusalem for Jews and Christians.

LTTE on 25th January 1998 exploded a powerful bomb laden truck within the temple precinct and followed by a attempt to raid the temple with 2 more suicide bombers.however the suicide bombers were prevented from entering the temple by two heroic Police personal but 13 people lost their lives and many more got injured in this attack.

this attack was clearly an attack to create a Sinhala-Buddhist backlash against the minority Tamils as the LTTE expected island wide riots and mass scale attacks against innocent Tamils and Tamil owned businesses in the rest of the country.however soon after the attack all most all the leading religious leaders in Sri Lanka and India condemned the heinous attack and called on the LTTE to take up responsibility .a backlash that the LTTE expected never materialised , however there was intense pressure from the public and mainly Buddhist organisations towards then President Chandrika Bandaranayake Kumarathunga to act strongly.

interestingly , no so called 'Civil Society' leader nor so called International Community condemned nor stated a single word against the LTTE over the attack. they simply issued statements that basically said they were sad and hoped things get better.

no one today talks about the LTTE targeting places of religious worship, let alone sacred sites nor the LTTE use of such sites and places as cover for launching attacks against military.today we hear so much about the LTTE or 'Tamils' being denied of so many rights but fails to ask how much the LTTE has done to destroy rights of believe a religion , place to worship etc.

LTTE continuously use places of worship as launch pads for military attacks and use them in a two pronged strategy. primarily LTTE used the sacred or holy places as cover and expect a military counter attack on the site as a example of SL Military attacking religious sites on a secondary basis. this is a time tested tactic for the LTTE, which they horned against the IPKF when they were in North and East Sri Lanka.

the LTTE used and continue to use the grounds around and within the sacred Madhu church to launch attacks against the military and during these days , with the continuing military operation against the LTTE in Mannar , the LTTE uses the Church grounds to launch Artillery attack against the Military forces. this is a known fact and for some reason the Church of Mannar and the Bishop of Mannar seems to be silent on this. when the SLMM was here , they too denied such use and went to the extent of stating that they have found 'evidance' of Military attacking the Church and its vicinity.

10 years on after the deadly attack against the Dhalada Maligawa , we not only remember the attack but also realise well , what the true face of the LTTE is and also take solace in understanding that even with such a devastating attack against the Buddhist faith , we the Sri Lankans , especially the Sinhala-Buddhist never yielded to terror nor wielded violence against innocent Tamils (against the wishes of V.Prabakaran ).

iTRO crap on abrogating CFA

this is bit too late but never late when it comes to TRO. after putting TRO plainly out of business by Sri Lanka and mainly US and few other western governments , suddenly it has come to the limelight .

 

well not so much of a limelight but at least it had issued a statement on the GoSL'S abrogation of the CFA and surprise surprise , it got to D B S Jeyarajs blog , while no other print/electronic media nor any other blogger noticed it.

 

whats really funny is that now the good old TRO is called ..iTRO ... may be after the hype of the Apple and its iPhone and iPod, the main face of the TRO to the rest of the world Arjunan K. has signed the statement , with address and phone numbers of a location in London ,England.

 

we all know the story of the TRO, no need to repeat it again and again but my question to Arjunan is who are you trying to fool here?
iTRO is 'shocked and concerned' about the GoSLs move to abrogate CFA?

did they not realised that during the CFA , from the start till the end ,iTRO or its predecessor TRO's master the LTTE was killing innocent people and breaching the CFA on a daily basis?

dose Arjunan know ( or may be he was the one!) that TRO was a front for LTTE in not only channeling funds but also in purchasing arms and other warlike material ?

dose Arjunana realise many of the LTTEs assassins and bombers came to Colombo under the guise of TRO staff?

K.P Reggi , the head of TRO is now and was before a fully fledged LTTE military cadre and former area leader ,who not only conducted terror attacks against the Military but also against civilian villages in Pollonnaruwa/ Kantale area?

only the stupid Tamils who live in western countries who are blindly believe LTTE will create a Eelam in SL will read and believe this nonsense from iTRO . as for the IC , they don't give a damn about Sri Lanka.

 

one other thing about the iTRO is that it seems now its relocated to UK and again and gain we see that UK soil being used to wage terror against Sri Lanka .

 

whats the stand of the UK government on this ? do they tolerate LTTEs terrorism against Sri Lanka while , they the UK government fight each and every other rag tag terrorist group in the world ?

 

why the double standers then?

 

Prabakaran celebrates the end of CFA in a bloodbath

the whole world knows how the blood thirsty LTTE led by V.Prabakaran celebrated the end of the ceasefire agreement yesterday.Prabakaran ended the ceasefire officially not in North or Eastern province of Sri Lanka but on a remote road leading to Buttala from Kataragama in the Uva  province and a chena in a remote area of Monaragala.

 

we all saw the dead bodies,stacked on each other  of the people who died in the Prabakarans attack on a bus in Okkampitiya , yesterday.  dead included many small children.those innocent and poor people were not shareholders of the war,separate state nor within the spear of power and influence. at the same time these innocent people had no connection to the President , Defence Sec or the Army commander or any other important person within the Sri Lankan State.

 

for these people , wither the CFA was alive or not was not a issue, it was the same for them. the piece of paper which is called the CFA agreement (which by the way the original signed doc has gone missing, according to the Govt..maybe at 5th Lane residence of Ranil,where he might be reading it every morning before he starts his work!) is not a thing for them,for the only war they know that existed in this country was the war to stay alive.

 

its was the same war that the people who died on the Kebithigollawa bus had to face and it was the same war that the farmers who took water from the Maavil Aru anicut for cultivation had to fight.it is the same war that the Tamil community who live beyond the check point in Omanthai , under the hands of Prabakaran who fight on a daily basis.

 

since the dawn of civilisation the worst scourge faced by the humans was violence and terrorism is the pinnacle of that scourge.during the rain of Hitler , terrorism was called 'facisim' and the height of fascism is the terrorism of the modern days.

 

if someone takes revenge on fellow humans for the single intention of capturing or seizing power , then that person is a monster and Prabakaran is a monster beyond imagination.he is in fact far beyond Hitler when it comes to the amount of cruelty he had imposed on the human race.

 

with the advent of the ceasefire in 2002 , prabakaran had the chance of entering a fair process of Political engagement, yet for him it was a sojourn to re arm and re group his bad of murderers. had Prabakaran had a genuine interest in Peace and a peaceful settlement to the ethnic issue, then he could have used the opening when Mahinda assumed the Presidency, however instead Prabakaran decided to increase the scale of LTTEs ceasefire breeches in ten fold and enter a era of mass scale assassinations and bombings. after waiting patiently for few months the Government started to fight back, throwing Prabakaran to a rapid pace of withdrawals and defeats.

 

today Prabakaran bombs and kills people in desperation ,knowing that he will face the same fate as that was met by his close confidants such as Shankar,Tamilchelvam, and Charles and understands very well that his days are numbered.

 

although Prabakaran is living in air conditioned very deep hole somewhere in Killinochchi or Mullativu , he will be met by a bunker buster bomb pretty soon and when that happens President Mahindas promise of handing over Prabakara to India will be fulfilled though it will be in form of a box.

 

i hope that happens soon , so that the poor innocent people of this country can still cram into a bus early morning and go to places of their work and to know that their children got to school on time, and not to fear the deaths awaiting them by the road and all the Tamils who live overseas who blindly fund a bloody war in Sri Lanka can use that money for something more benevolent and also the so called international community to focus more on talking peace with Taliban or the Iraqi insurgents and entering to ceasefire with them with the facilitation of the Norwegians .

 

 

annulling the ceasefire and the crocodile tears of the bogus 'civil society'

ceasefire ceased to exist for me the day LTTE killed Lakshman Kadiragamar MP and minister of Foreign Affairs.minister Kadiragamar,a Tamil and believer in democracy and non violance was killed by the LTTE not because he was a crusader to liberate the Tamils from the LTTE but because LTTE leader V.Prabakaran and his cohorts realised Kadiragamar  was a moderate Tamil leader who could not only reach out to the rest of the Sri Lankans , whole world how had a pinch of interest in happenings in Sri Lanka and the Tamils in the rest of the world.

 

when Kadiragamar was killed, the bogus 'civil society' only made vague statements and called for all 'parties' to adhere to the ceasefire. whats the f... , all parties to the CFA was adhering to the ceasefire minus the LTTE at that time , but for some unknown reasons they never mentioned the LTTEs hand in killing Kadiragamar nor Kethesh Loganadhan , another Tamil moderate killed by the LTTE during .. of course the ceasefire.

 

so called civil society of Sri Lanka , who constantly we hear on mainly English language print and electronic media , who 'represent' rest of the civilians in Sri Lanka , in overseas mainly in Western countries are a bunch of wankers , spineless crowds who pay lip service to the LTTE. for them 'loss' of Tamilchelvam was for more serious then scores of civilians getting killed by road side bombs or Tamil politicians from opposition political parties in the hands of the LTTE.

 

day has come for Dr.Jehan Perera,Dr.Kumar Rupasingha,Prof.Jayadeva Uyangoda, Sunila Abesekara , Nimalka Fernando and rest of the so called 'civil society' band wagon  to understand who the real enemies of peace in Sri Lanka is and why they should stand against not only the ills of the Sri Lankan government ,as they do all the time but also the scourge of the LTTE too.
