TULF leader V. Anandasangaree says that he has
to suffer unending humiliations and embarrassment by the Tamil
media both print and electronic within Sri Lanka and outside in
his mission to muster support for a solution to the
fifty-year-old ethnic problem within the framework of a united
or undivided Sri Lanka.
"My advocating a Federal solution and suggesting
the Indian Model as an alternative to satisfy those who are
opposed to the terms ‘Federal’ and ‘Unitary’, on which the
Indian Constitution is silent, had not appeased them", he said
in a statement yesterday.
"I am branded as a traitor to the Tamil cause
apart from facing constant threats to my life", he noted.
Such humiliations, embarrassments and threats
will not deter me from going forward on my mission to assist in
the formation of an ‘ideal’ society where all Sri Lankans
whether Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Malays, Burghers or anyone
belonging to any other group could live in harmony enjoying
equal rights and privileges in a United Sri Lanka,
Anandasangaree emphasised.
"I am prepared to pay any price to achieve this
as I love my country and its people very dearly".
Referring to certain articles in English media,
the TULF leader said that if the authors had read some of the
letters he had written to LTTE leader Prabhakaran and political
wing leader S. P. Thamilchelvan, heads of state, diplomatic
missions and to thoers including the President and former
President of Sri Lanka, such merciless and unreasonable attacks
on him could have been avoided.
