Whether Prabakaran..?

I've been hearing so many rumors and speculation on the fate of LTTE Chief V.Prabakaran for the last couple of weeks now.. many include Prabakaran escaping via speed boat under cover of a massive Sea Tiger assault on the Navy petrol units (which happened last week..), and to be met by a LTTE charted/owned Freighter off the coast of Eastern Sri Lanka .... to claims such as Prabakaran escaped using a submarine..(which i think its too far fetched ,since we saw the embryonic state of LTTE R&D on building a Sub..when Forces captured some of such crafts under construction last month/Jan 09) .

And yesterday and today, there were speculations and rumors of Prabakaran's body found among group of LTTE dead, and is now in a Military base outside Colombo awaiting forensics (may be DNA testing..?). then according to a claim by surrendered (again cannot confirm) 'Senior Memeber' (as he is called!) and one time leader of EROS, T.Balakumar states that LTTE Chief V.Prabakaran was killed by LTTE when his attempt to escape failed or he got caught in a failed attempt to escape! [that's according to #LTTE on Twitter..]

However, i have no 'confidencial/highly placed sources' within the Military establishment nor Political leadership to verify or claim on the fate of Prabakaran but my simple question is, Is Prabakran any more relevant after the crushing defeat of the LTTEs Terrorist structure?

I think the more important strategic issue is to redirect focus on strengthening Unity of this country and may be establishing rule of law with the defeat of LTTE and its reign of Terror!

In the case of Prabakarans demise,the remnants of the LTTE both here and overseas (including ,now head less chicken like TNA,NGO mafia,Jehan Perera etc and of course not to forget those 'genocide' chanting hordes carrying LTTE terror flags in Western capitals ), i think this claim of "Silencing Guns" is a hint that under the helm of K.P or Kumaran Padmanadan or Selvarasa Pathmanathan ,the LTTE will go global with its war of Terror against Sri Lanka and best indications of such 'second genaration' terrorist campaign for a Eelam is the continued fire bombings and attacks on Sri Lankan missions abroad and other places of significance such as Buddhist temples etc.

Most LTTE sympathisers will continue to believe in a stay behind LTTE and a Continuation LTTE but the Government here will start the hearts and minds campaign to win Unity and Equality among the communities and the people living (and continue to call this home) in Sri Lanka.

Time has come for that and the people too are ready to embrace such change. i saw that walking on the streets of Anuradhapura today and I'm hopeful!

Karunanidhi too wants an Eelam...

This is getting better and better...i was reading crap on the Indian elections and hey presto..news wires say M.Karunanidhi, current Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and DMK chief had claimed that he too wants an Eelam..

Now I'm not certain if he was calling for a Eelam in India but assuming this Eelam is the same as this mythical Eelam, LTTE is trying or was trying to crate for the last 30 years in Sri Lanka then i must say things are certainly getting interesting.

I say interesting because , unless you believe in Tamil movies it can't be true and realistic..even if its true, Sri Lanka is not part of Tamil Nadu nor Greater India.we are a separate,sovereign country and whatever ruckus happens in Tamil Nadu stays there,only the Movies and the amateur theatrics of the Tamil Nadu politicians come here in form of news!

So the story is that, at an election rally for DMK trade unions Mr.Karunanidhi ,who just only last week or so, championed a 'ceasefire' for the LTTE in Sri Lanka following a 3 hour fast unto death (read my earlier post on that drama) stated that he had assumed the responsibilities of making all efforts so that an 'Eelam' is created.

Karunanidhi had said  "We have ensured a fair quantity of relief for Sri Lankan Tamils. As a next step, they should get Eelam and I assumed responsibilities of making all efforts to ensure that 'Eelam' is created"...OK, now its clear.. its not a Eelam in India as i feared in the start but the same old tune ..in Sri Lanka...!!!

Now I'm panting, getting sweat on my palm.. I'm nervous..nervous that if Mr.Karunanidhi says he is assuming responsibilities of making all efforts to ensure a Eelam is crated for Tamil people of Sri Lanka , then ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!

Now I'm worried, in loss of words..

But then, senses return, i catch hold of a breath and realise it was the same Karunanidhi who, for the last 20 years who promised so many for LTTE and the Tamil Political stooges of LTTE in Sri Lanka, that is making these claims..

So, rest assured i'm going to sleep tonight with no nightmares as long as i know its Karunanidhi who is at the helm of 'crating a Eelam for Sri Lankan Tamils' project.

I've said this before, but wanted state again..i don't know the people of Tamil Nadu but i know for sure the Tamil people of this country are not idiots as Karunanidhi may expect to be, so i feel sad for the fellow..his armature theatrics may win him the election in Tamil Nadu but not the hearts and minds of the Sri Lankan Tamils..they have moved on after 30 years of suffering under an imposed nightmare called 'a separate state'.

A list visitors and fall of LTTE

A quick one..

I got on to a threeweeler today for a short hop and strike a conversation with the driver about the current state of the military operations in Vanni .he had an interesting theory on the steady stream of international A lists that come here to talk to the Govt and show sympathy to the Tamil people who are held by the LTTE as a human shield and shrapnel sponge! so this is his take...

He had seen the Defence Secretary Gota having a huddle with Yasushi Akashi today on TV..and recalls all the previous foreign emissaries who may have sat there in the same couch,thinking more or less the same..according the the threeweeler malli.."damn.. this mother fucker is sharp.." !!!! however, this had prompted him to think more into this 'phenomina' and ....

Then he says,"OK lets not talk about Gota",and start focusing on the A list again...and his fear is that the International community is sending plane loads of International high flyer's not only to cut out a bailout plan for the LTTE but also to buy time for them too...he (threeweeler malli!) explains each minute Gota spends with the IC reps is a minute saved from LTTEs ultimate destruction...

so his point is that western countries,failing to prevent the war are sending people constantly to talk to Govt hierarchy just so to tie them down from running the war effort! sounds more like a Machiavellian kind of conspiracy but still ....

hehe.. i think threeweeler malli's theory is an original worth an academic study!!!!!
