Two weeks prior to the ‘Geneva Talks’ of October
28th and 29th, we addressed a letter to the local print-media
(English) titled ‘Geneva II - talks bound to fail’. Strongly
none of the papers thought it fit to give due publicity for same
- may be they may have had their own reasons for not publishing
same. But we arrived at our opinion after very carefully
analysing - not only LTTE gimmicks of the past two decades, but
also what respected Tamil Leader of the like of V.
Anandasangaree, Minister Douglas Devananda, LTTE renegade Col.
Yamna Awman, Rasiak Thurairaja of EPRLF fame, who know V.
Prabhakaran and his Terrorist Outfit inside-out had repeatedly
said at many International Former as well as their Media
Releases.
Though our print media did not venture to
publish the said letter, we had once again been proved right.
Earlier several letters by us pointing out the illegality of the
1987 merger of the Northern and Eastern provinces were published
in most of the print-media. Although we knew that the Fraudulent
Merger was Unconstitutional and hence Null & void in Law, we had
no means to initiate litigation. Thanks to the JVP, they filed
action - though belated and a full five member Bench - which
included the country’s Chief Justice gave the verdict in favour
of the JVP and rightly so.
This Supreme Court Judgement for reasons that
cannot be understood-appear to have inked the so-called ‘Peace-Monges’,
‘INGOS’, the Opposition UNP and also the International Community
including USA, UK, Japan and Norway. How come?
Is Sri Lanka not an Independent, Sovereign
Country? How can outsiders interfere so blatantly with the
country’s purely internal affairs? Do they not recognise and
respect the highest Court of Law of Sri Lanka? The TNA are Tiger
Proxies and Tigers indeed in sheeps clothing as we see at the
beginning of every Parliamentary sitting.
Why is the Government feeling so-shy to tell the
world Loud & Clear that enough is enough and we do not welcome
or tolerate interference, even by ‘word’ in our Judiciary? Are
we so naive, so timid for the fear of losing the ‘Dollar Aid
bait? Have we no self-respect, honour, decency and dignity? Why
bend backwards to appease a set of terrorists and the
International Community at every turn? This is exactly what all
our past rulers and so-called leaders from JRJ down to Ranil W
and CBK did all the time. And that is exactly why we are, today,
in this most tragic prodicament!
Over to you Mr. President and GoSL!
