Karunanidhi's Farce Unto Death for 'Sri Lankan Tamil cause'

It was a memorable day and a truly historic day too..just the day for me to write something down on this damn blog of mine..so as the day started there was Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK) supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi,who just of a whim realized the 'plight of the Sri Lankan Tamils'' and decided the only way for a solution is to make the supreme scarifies..

So he goes to some memorial in Chennai and then states " Despite the LTTE calling for a ceasefire, the Sri Lankan government has done nothing. Rajapakse has killed so many Tamils. Let him consider me also. I am fasting for the Sri Lankan Tamil cause" and thus the great hero of Sri Lankan Tamils in Tamil Nadu started his farce, a farce unto death as his faithful daughter Kanimozi stated to media.

They say the decision to go on a farce was a spontaneous decision and Karunanidhi did not consult anyone,and of course can you consult any one on this? in your right mind you can't, especially if you had just finished a massive Breakfast in the first place!

To make matters worse DMK President and Karunanidhi's son MK Azhagiri (who is also contesting in election by the way!!) too went on a farce in Madurai saying "I am fasting for the Tamil issue in Sri Lanka in the same way as DMK leader Karunanidhi is doing"... "We will stop this only when there is ceasefire in Sri Lanka where innocent Tamils are being killed," he had further stated.

And then , pronto..some miracle happens..the Government in Sri Lanka 'yealds' to Indian Government pressure 'capitulates' and announce an end to all hostilities.jubilant Indian home Minister P.Chidambaram was heard on NDTV saying something like we didn't pleaded nor request with the Sri Lankan Government but India insisted (?) that war should be stopped and rehabilitation should start...

So according to Indians, the Sri Lankan Government has agreed to stop the war and let the LTTE return to its rightful place as the ruler of all Tamils in Vanni..wow,what a major achievement..but i read the statement of the Govt of SL on this and to my sheer horror finds nothing of sorts just something that says we're going to stop use of heavy weapons,Aerial bombardments,use of jets etc..WTF...was that not stopped last week since troops were more focuses on surgical strikes inside the small territory?

Then i realize...poor basterds were duped by the MR boys!

Anyway, lets forget all that and move back to Karunanidhi's farce..so, just as this 'break through' was announced , the jubilant Karunanidhi realising his efforts, his sole efforts had turned the tables on the Sri Lankana Government and realizing he,single handed had saved the LTTE from brink of decimation and also the realizing the fact that the cause of the Sri Lankan Tamils have been won, got up and ended his farce, just in time for a humongous Lunch!

However, Jayalalitha,leader of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) said the fast is a drama to gain political mileage out of the Sri Lankan Tamil issue and said "I accuse him of staging this drama of fasting just to fool the people..," but we need not listen to her..she had called for a Separate State for Tamils in India or Sri Lanka (not so sure where exactly..) last week..and this drama talk is irrelevant here...

So with that i end my post about the escapades of the great 'champion' of Sri Lankan Tamil people, M Karunanidhi who only today started a farce unto death, just after his Breakfast and ended it just in time for Lunch.....


[P.S- i can't speak for people of Tamil Nadu but as for the Tamil people of Sri Lanka, they have stopped eating such dead 'lanu' long ago..and that's something the leadership of the LTTE has realized recently, in a painful way too! ]

Captured LTTE Terror Tech and Armament in Vanni sector

Army reported today and then saw on Rupavahini news of the #13th Artillery that was captured from the LTTE so far..although the gun had sustained considerable damage following an air attack some weeks back, it still had the markings and the main components and was seen being towed away by a Military Truck.

And then there is a this latest acquisition, the destroyed LTTE T-55 Main Battle Tank! this tank was hit by counter fire from Sri Lanka Army Tanks while it engaged in LTTE defensive attacks in Puttukkudirippu area and was destroyed by sustained fire from Army Tanks and had toppled over into a ditch..

It was ,again shown on news today after it was upturned and taken out of the ditch. news claimed that it had remains of the bodies of three LTTE carders, presumably the crew of the tank, some unidentified type of shells, and some other contents intact along with the manufacturers operating manual!

Apart from the fact that its now being use as a weapon to attack Ranil Wikramasingha and his "Peace Talks' as the Rupavahi claim that it was brought to Sri Lanka by the LTTE from overseas during Peace talks...but so far they didn't claim it was brought inside bags of LTTE peace talk delegates..as that's the regular practice for any significant weapon found on the battle field.

However the methods of procurement, its time the Ministry of Defence set up a proper Weapons Forensics Team to look into all this captured equipments and chart out the origins of the such technology and armaments , just so that in the coming future the Government can engage in whatever way to thus deny such sources from being used by the LTTE or any other of its successors!

Also, it will be a good lessons learned for the International Community and interested States to clamp down on illegal arms trade that fuel so many bloody conflicts of the world.

May be by doing so,we might be able to uncover some of the missing 'humaniterian aid and funds' that poured into Vanni during the last couple of decades too..
