Appeal to the leaders of  Political Parties and the People of  Tamil Naad

V. Anandasangaree

Dear Leaders and People of Tamil Naad,

First thing the Sri Lankan Tamils expect Tamil Naad to do immediately is to save the people trapped in the LTTE controlled area, where they are kept under compulsion and secondly to have a true briefing of the present situation without being misled by the TNA Parliamentarians of Sri Lanka who are presently in Chennai to have the LTTE rescued. The people whom they claim to represent are in the verge of total annihilation.

I was  deeply moved by the concerns and the sentiments expressed by the Leaders of Political Parties, other Leaders and the enthusiasm  shown by the general public of Tamil Naad, relating to the tragic situation now prevailing in Sri Lanka .  But I am really shocked at the terminology used to describe the situation in Sri Lanka. There is no attempt by anybody to exterminate anyone deliberately or otherwise. A few deaths had taken place in the war zone but this cannot in anyway be classified as Genocide.  In reality there is a war going on between the government and the LTTE the most ferocious terrorist organization that did not even spare Heads of States. Tamil Naad cannot so easily forget that they could recover the dead body of the late Hon. Rajiv Gandhi only in pulp. There are hundreds of such incidents that had occurred both in Sinhala and Tamil areas. Hundreds of Buddhists and Muslims had been massacred in their places of worship. The people who are now trapped in the LTTE controlled area may have to face the same fate, if the TNA Parliamentarians failed to seek the help of Tamil Naad to save these innocent people.

It is still not too late for Tamil Naad to respond positively to suit the prevailing situation. I strongly urge that whatever response Tamil Naad shows should be beneficial to the People living across the Palk Strait should not be detrimental to their interest. A clear understanding of the ground situation in Killinochchi, where the war front has now shifted to, is necessary for anyone even to talk about the problem. It is my frank opinion that some leaders and many people of Tamil Naad had been misled over a period of several years, by exaggerated, false and fabricated stories spread at random by some interested parties, to boost the LTTE. But there are very eminent leaders in Tamil Naad who can recommend a reasonable and acceptable solution for the ethnic problem within a United Sri Lanka. Unfortunately these sources had not been properly tapped due to the LTTE’s unyielding stand and constant demand for separation.

Since   Tamil Naad can, in the present scenario, play a constructive role, I have a moral duty to brief them properly, of the latest developments. I am the one who is most concerned of the People of Killinochchi and I hope my credibility will not be challenged by anyone who knows my links with Killinochchi.

I am in politics for well over 50 years. I lived and grew with the people in Killinochchi who elected me first as Chairman of the Killinochchi Village Council in 1964  and then as Chairman of the Killinochchi Town Council and finally as their member of  Parliament for Killinochchi in July 1970. I quit this office in October 1983 along with 17 other members of the Tamil United Liberation Front,  protesting against the extension of  term of  office of  Parliament for a fresh term of six years, by holding a referendum which is never the practice in any country except during the world war, as done during the  second world war. This act is a remarkable contribution the TULF made,  for the preservation of Democracy in Sri Lanka. All the 18 seats vacated by the TULF members remained vacant for a full term of six years. This appeal comes from a founder member and also the present President of this only moderate Tamil political party.

During the past few years I had been appealing to various authorities such as the Secretary General of the United Nations,  Heads of  various States, Heads  of Diplomatic Missions,  Heads of various Religions  and such others to intervene and help to liberate the Tamil  People, whom the LTTE was keeping under their  subjugation  for many years in areas under their control. These people hardly enjoyed any Democratic or fundamental rights. Their human rights had been violated beyond ones imagination. The recruitments to their cadre under compulsion went on unabated. They did not spare even elders from under-going some sort of training.  Of the people abducted the whereabouts of many are not known. They have torture camps and dark -room chambers with methods of torture unheard of in any civilized society. In one form of torture the person to be punished is put into  a tri-angular shaped cage little smaller than the person to be punished. The cage is wrapped round with barbed wire with hardly any space inside for mobility. Another form is throwing snakes inside the dark-room chamber where a person is detained. Every home in the areas under the control of the LTTE is like a funeral home. Parents who resisted recruitment of the children had been mercilessly assaulted. The out-side world    does not know what is happening in the LTTE held areas, popularly known as ‘Iron Curtain’ area. I hope the TNA members of Parliament  who are now in Tamil Naad, taking part in demonstrations and Sathyagrahas  will confirm  this accusation of mine and also endorse my demand  that the Tamil People under the  subjugation of the LTTE  should  be liberated from them. Otherwise the TNA should honorably refrain from taking part in any activities, in India, related to the Sri Lankan issue.

Inciting speeches in Tamil Naad by the Sri Lankan Members of Parliament of the Tamil National Alliance should be discouraged. Allowing it will cause great embarrassment to the Sri Lankan Tamils more than half of whom live in harmony in the South with the Sinhalese and the Muslims.  These TNA members of Parliament who were elected fraudulently with the fire power of the LTTE, only act as proxies of the LTTE and not as elected representatives of Tamil people. Anyone who dares to challenge this statement can go through    the reports of the four different Election Monitoring teams that were present during the last elections. The two foreign teams are from the EU and the Commonwealth. The two local teams the PAFFRAL   and the CMEV even recommended annulling these elections and called for a fresh poll in the electorates where the TNA members won.

Inspite of my repeated pleadings the International Community could hardly do anything because no one has free access to the areas under the LTTE control. The LTTE had access to Government controlled areas under the Ceasefire Agreement, without any reciprocal arrangements for anybody to visit the LTTE controlled areas. As a result of this provision in the CFA, the LTTE, apart from controlling their areas, could also bring under their control even areas under the control of the government. News about human rights violation in the LTTE areas do not reach the outside world. The LTTE that virtually controlled the areas held by the government was also responsible for most of the Human Rights Violations in the government held areas as well.

I do not for a moment suggest that the LTTE is responsible for all Human Rights Violations. I am only saying that they are responsible for a larger portion of the violations and has also by their conduct had facilitated the other culprits to escape. The LTTE had bumped off a large number of Tamil Police Officers and also had warned the Tamils not to join the Police force. As a result only a few Tamil officers are available, resulting in almost all Police Stations in Tamil areas manned by Sinhalease officers. In a case of accidental firing a civilian died in the government held area. A Police officer who went to investigate the crime was asked by some youths to go for the inquiry, unarmed and without security. The said officer, supposed to be a very good Police officer, trusted the youths and went to the scene of the crime. Within a short time photographs of his hacked body thrown on the road, appeared in one of the pro –LTTE web sites. Can one reasonably expect another Sinhalese officer to conduct investigations freely? This incident partly explains as to why and how some crimes go undetected

Apart from this there is a war going on between the LTTE and the government. As long as the LTTE assumes themselves a position in par with the government, what can anyone do? When the LTTE engages in aerial bombing how one blame the government for aerial bombing can? However whenever there is aerial attack causing causalities I had not failed to bring it to the notice of the government and when there was aerial bombing in the night I had  blamed the government and my request   to avoid night time bombings  had been complied with. This is why I insist that the war should stop to prevent civilian casualties.

The charge of the LTTE that the government of Sri Lanka is engaged in genocide is a big farce. More than 50 percent of the Tamil people now live among the Sinhalese and Muslims. Most of them had fled from LTTE controlled areas. LTTE’s repeated attempts to provoke a backlash in the Sinhalese areas had failed. All their claymore mine attacks in the Sinhalese areas, targeting   service personnel and civilians are done to spark off communal riots. Hardly one such incident takes place without taking a few civilian lives.

Number of Tamil politicians academics principals of schools business people ex-members of other groups killed by the LTTE amount to several thousands. As a comparison not a single person under this category had been killed during this long period of conflict by any Sinhalese. Black July 1983 incident is perhaps the last communal riots the country faced. For that too the LTTE was partly responsible by causing the death of 13 Sinhala soldiers. Even in this incident it was the hoodlums who were involved in murders and arson. The Sinhalese civilians were responsible for saving hundreds of thousands of Tamils who lived among them

The population in the North now is reduced to half of what it was in 1983. Some are in the South with the Sinhalese and Muslims, some in Tamil Naad in India and many others had gone abroad    and settled in various countries like UK, Europe, Scandinavia, Canada, USA etc. The so called freedom fighters have brought the Tamils to this state in Sri Lanka. The number of civilians and combatants killed easily exceed one lakh. Thousands had become widows and widowers. Thousands had lost theirs limbs and many their eye-sights. According to the LTTE figures they had sacrificed over 20,000 Tamil youths of their cadre at the battle front. The worth of the property destroyed by them alone is worth several billions.

The LTTE is fighting a conventional war with sophisticated weapons.  They use Aircrafts  big or small. A section of the people is kept under their subjugation with almost all their rights denied, in certain areas for more than a quarter of a century. In these areas youths in the range of 20-25 years had not even seen a train and the leaders they know are Pirabakaran, Pottuamman, Thamilselvan and such others. The government is duty-bound to free its own people from the clutches of an illegal terrorist outfit the LTTE. The people themselves want to be liberated and agitating for it for a long time. It is painful to see some innocent men, women and children getting killed. I myself had lost a few friends and known people in this manner. But the causalities in this war are negligible compared to the  number of lives lost  due to Prabakaran’s suicide bombers, claymore mine attacks  etc. I concede that this does not mean that the government forces can kill. But in this incident as to who should be blamed I am not in a position to give an answer. I am only opposed to the usage of the term genocide, because it is not so. Apart from that, increase in casualties  causes me great grief  particularly to see those who claim to represent them are giving a wrong picture to over sixty million Tamil speaking people  living in Tamil Naad and also trying to mislead the world’s largest democracy- India.

For more than quarter of a century the LTTE had been taking the Tamil people for a ride. The Tamils need liberation only from the LTTE. The government had already liberated large areas from the LTTE , the East in full and in the North well over 75 percent.  Now only a small area is left. It is here all the displaced persons from Mannar Mullaitivu, Killinochchi and Vavuniya are driven into. The LTTE had brought them here under compulsion for their own protection. They are now using them as a human shield. The people have no proper food or shelter. Everyone seems to be interested only in saving the LTTE. Two days back a TNA Parliamentarian was boasting in Parliament that the displaced persons are refusing to go out of   Killinochchi for fear of the government forces. This is absolute falsehood. The moment the LTTE opens its iron gate the displaced persons will move out in no time and get back to their respective homes. The present situation is an artificial creation of the LTTE without any consideration for the sufferings of the people. The electorates like Killinochchi, Mullaitivu Mannar and Vavuniya are predominantly jungle areas and infested with deadly snakes. Several people had died of snake-bites. Very soon the rainy season will start.  The poor people cannot bear the agony any more. Women and children are the most affected. A sacred duty is now cast on the people of Tamil Naad, to go all out and either  by  persuasions or by threat of withdrawing support, compel the LTTE to open their iron gate for the people to go anywhere they want to. If Tamil Naad  has any sympathy for the Tamil people who are suffering under the subjugation of the LTTE for several years,  it has a moral obligation to win for them the basic fundamental  right of choosing  the place as to where they wish to live.  In this war situation people who are living with fear and tension in Killinochchi should be rescued by Tamil Naad, by pressurizing the LTTE.

The dispute in the country is not between any ethnic groups. It relates only to the rights and privileges one is entitled to and can be sorted out at the negotiating table. If the LTTE gives up its demand for separation and agree to lay down their arms we will help them to play an important role in negotiations. Everyone in India,  in Sri Lanka and even in many parts of the world,  know fully well that creation of a separate state of Eelam is an impossible task. The Indian government is vehemently opposed to it and so the International community. The only option available is to agitate  for a federal solution with the only one alternative of adopting the Indian modal to enable the various regions in Sri Lanka to enjoy powers equivalent  to those presently enjoyed by various states in India including Tamil Naad.

The Tamils in Sri Lanka remember with gratitude the immense services rendered for the Tamil cause by people like the late  Hon. Smt. Indra Gandhi ,  the late Hon. Rajiv Gandhi and such others. We are also grateful to two great leaders of Tamil Naad the late Hon. Dr. M.G.Ramachandran and Hon. Dr. Kalignar Karunanidhi . If Mr. Prabhakaran had listened to the good advice given by them and accepted to work according to the Indo- Sri Lanka Accord, our country would have become a paradise with all people living as equals with mutual trust and confidence built among themselves. Several thousands of lives and billions worth of property would have been saved but Mr. Prabaharan having assured them returned to Sri Lanka and ungratefully changed his mind and worked against the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord resulting in the crisis the country is facing today.

We also appreciate the bold stand taken by Dr. Selvi Jeyalalitha Jeyaram in dealing with the LTTE as a terrorist Organization and also for pledging full support in all other matters that could alleviate the present plight of the Sri Lankan Tamils.

The time has come for all leaders of Tamil Naad to forget their differences and get together to help to liberate the Tamils who have lost their rights properties and self respect.  The immediate task should be to save the innocent people who are trapped in  Killinochchi  with no freedom to move out. Failure to do so will end up in great disaster.

Speech made by President TULF at the handing over ceremony of the Proposal by Hon. Tissa Vitharana to His Excellency the President Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse.

Your Excellency the President, Hon. Ministers, Hon. Members of Parliament, Leaders of Political Parties, Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

It may be a surprise to all of you to see me participating in today’s ceremony held to hand over an interim report of the APRC to His Excellency the President by Hon. Tissa Vitharana, I owe an explanation to the People of this country, to the International Community and also to Sri Lankans living abroad, as to why I am giving my support for the implementation of the 13^th Amendment in full, as a first step before a final solution is recommended by the APRC.   I speak also on behalf of Mr. D. Sitharthan and Mr. T. Sritharan representing the PLOTE and the Pathmanabha EPRLF respectively with whom the TULF has formed an alliance in the good interest of the Tamil speaking minorities.   It is no secret that that we had been agitating for a solution based on the Federal concept and also offered to accept the Indian Model as an alternative if the term federal is allergic to any one.   We have not changed our views in this matter and in the matter of merger of the North and the East.   We assure everybody that while spurning violence we will by non-violent means and in a friendly way continue to persuade the citizens of our country to agree that no permanent solution can be found under a Unitary System.   We will continue to dispel the fears of those who think that country will be divided.   We will take all steps to erase off the minds of our people the idea of separation and to strongly support the concept of a United Sri Lanka.

 

To achieve this, the Government and the Media should seriously discourage propagating one section of the People as superior or inferior to another.   We have joined today in this historic assembly that could be described as the Constituent Assembly taking its first step towards bringing peace, to the bleeding Nation and to its people who had undergone untold hardships for a period of half a century and more particularly during the past 25 years.

 

We have joined this assembly today to show our solidarity on behalf of the Tamil people, for the re-birth of a Nation where we the Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Malays, Burgers and Members of all the other small groups live as equals in all respects, in a society where one is in no way superior or inferior to the other.

 

We dispute the claim of any one who says that this country belongs to one group or to the other.   With only about 22 miles of the Palk Strait separating Sri Lanka from India, we call upon the 60 Million Tamils living across this strait to give their blessings and their co-operation to bring back normalcy and peace for our people and wish us a bright future without being misled by a handful of pro-LTTE Leaders on both sides.   We assure the Tamils living across, that there is no attempt by anybody to annihilate the Tamils and that contrary to that, more than half of the Tamil population is living in the South happily among the Sinhalese and Muslims reposing confidence in them, far away from their tradition places of habitation.

 

Over a period of 20 years several opportunities were given to the LTTE to come back to the negotiating table.   I had even volunteered to negotiate with the Government to obtain them a prominent role in the Administration of the North and the East.   Even a general amnesty for the Leaders and the Cadre was offered.   They did not pay any attention to any offer.   Instead they are sacrificing valuable human lives on both sides every day.   Even now these offers are open.

 

It is regrettable to note that apart from exposing our people to grave danger they have once again started massacring innocent Sinhalese Villagers who mind their own business without any interest in Politics.   Our people, I mean the Sri Lankans had suffered enough, loss enough and are living in constant fear and tension.   They want relief now.

 

His Excellency has assured that the APRC will continue with its task and the implementation of the 13^th amendment is only an interim measure.   We hope APRC will continue this process in the same spirit and find a solution which will meet the aspirations of the Tamil-speaking people.    We whole-heartedly support His Excellency’s efforts to find Peace in our country.

 

I thank Hon. Tissa Vitharana and representatives of various political parties for the efforts they took.

Text of the Presentation of Mr V Anandasangaree at the International Conference on Countering Terrorism (ICCT) on 20^th October 2007 at the BMICH, Colombo.

I consider it as a great honour for having been invited to address the International Conference on Countering Terrorism. I thank the Lakshman Kadirgamar Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies (LKIIRSS) for the invitation. The theme of this conference is “Terrorism – A Challenge to Democratically Elected Governments” and the topic assigned to me is “Transforming Terrorists – Lessons for Sri Lanka,” a subject that is not easy to handle in the Sri Lankan perspective. The problem of transforming terrorists is multi-faced, complicating and peculiar to Sri Lanka. Hence a briefing of the situation in Sri Lanka is necessary.

 

May I start by saying that Terrorism is not merely a challenge to Democratically elected Governments, it is also a greater challenge for electing Democratic Governments. Since I am active in Politics for almost half a century and having contested six local elections and eight Parliamentary Elections, some successfully and some unsuccessfully, I like to share the experience I gained, with you all. I am a victim of terror politics. Since 1983 we cannot boast of having democratically elected Governments in Sri Lanka. The last free and fair election held was in July, 1977 at which the party that captured power could gain 4/5^th majority in Parliament and created history with no prospects for any other party to gain such a majority ever in the future. This massive mandate was given to rectify the wrongs of the previous government which too had a clear 2/3^rd majority in Parliament. This 2/3^rd majority was made use of to replace the Old Soulbury Constitution with a new one, doing away with the safeguards the Minorities had in the Old Constitution, such as the Senate, Right of Appeal to the Privy Council, Section 29 etc. The New Government ignored the massive mandate it got from the people. It adopted a new constitution and to amend any provisions in the constitutions made it mandatory for a 2/3^rd majority in Parliament and ratification at a referendum. The first past the post electoral system was replaced by the Proportional Representation system under which no government can ever get 2/3^rd majority. Thereby, the Government that came to power in 1977 under the first past the post system had bound all future Parliaments in Sri Lanka by preventing them from making any amendment to the constitution without the support of the opposition. Violating the established convention that “No Parliament can extend its own term of office” the 1977/83 Parliament extended, its own term of office by a referendum. The only occasion the British Parliament, Ceylon Legislative Council and Legislatures in many other countries all over the world, was during the 2^nd world war and never after that – the only exception being Sri Lanka. Things were made worse by the amendment No. 6 of the constitution, passed in 1983. It prevented the TULF’s 18 Members of Parliament, including me, who vacated office protesting against the extension of the term of office by a referendum, from contesting to re-enter parliament. Subscribing an Oath had been made mandatory by the amendment six, of the Constitution to seek election to Parliament. All those 18 seats remained vacant for a full term of 6 years from 1983 – 1989.

 

The amendment six of the constitution resulted in the Leadership of the Tamils taken away from the moderates and handed over to the armed groups. Many Militant groups took control of all Tamil areas both in the North and the East. Conscription and voluntary recruitment of youths and students took place in large numbers. Kidnappings, extortions and killings took place in Tamil areas at random in the early eighties. The arbitrary killings of the youths and student leaders by the armed forces, had been so common that contrary to suppressing the uprising, it only helped the groups to grow stronger. The arrival of IPKF in 1988 following the implementation of the Indo-Sri Lanka accord made all militant groups other than the LTTE, to return to the democratic stream.

 

The LTTE not only attacked the IPKF but also either eradicated or expelled all the other Militant Groups that opted to give up arms and join the Democratic stream. It emerged as the only dominant group and gradually took control of two districts in full and parts of six others in the North and the East where Tamils are predominant. The Tamil people living in their areas were subjected to untold hardships and were living like slaves. They were deprived of most of their fundamental, democratic and human rights. The subjugation of the Tamil people was one of the reasons for the easy liberation of the Eastern Province from the LTTE. In the rest of the areas that are under their control in the Northern Province, they have become so unpopular that the peoples want themselves to be liberated early. Two Districts in full and three districts in parts are still under their control.

 

I had written a number of letters to Mr. V. Prabaharan, during the past three to four years pleading with him to give up his demand for separation and to accept a reasonable solution based on the Federal Concept. Failure of the Members of Parliament representing the North and the East, made me to take the responsibility on my head to free the people from the LTTE’s subjugation.  Another reason being that the Kilinochchi Electorate I represented in Parliament for over 14 years is now fully under the control of the LTTE. I feel it as my duty to free the people whom I represented and to liberate the others also from the LTTE’s subjugation. I have offered Mr. Prabaharan, to negotiate and obtain a general amnesty for him and his cadre if he agreed to give up his demand for separation and agree for a reasonable solution. I even offered to obtain for him and his cadre a bigger share in any interim administration, the Government may be contemplating. Neither he nor anyone else on his behalf, responded in any way, to any of my offers. All what I got in return were unpleasant and demeaning criticism from the pro-LTTE Print and Electronic media, both of which are only interested in glorifying the actions of the LTTE.

 

In my last letter of 22 June, 2007 affectionately addressing Mr. V. Prabaharan as “My Dear Thampy” meaning “Brother”, I wrote, “Please understand my concerns, for the Tamil Speaking people in particular and for all Sri Lankans in general. Since things seem to be going out of control, please take suitable remedial measures to bring back peace and tranquillity to a suffering nation, with-out any further delay”.

 

I further wrote, “The time has now come for you to take full responsibility for the present precarious condition in which our people live. Although unpalatable, please act with responsibility and caution, forgetting all what had happened in the past and work for a prosperous future of all the people of Sri Lanka. Like some others who project the LTTE as the sole representatives of the Tamil people, I will not do so because you are not considered by the Tamil people as such, mainly due to your ruthlessness. You know very well that you have earned the name as the most ruthless person in the world. Are you not aware that you are fast losing your credibility day by day, by causing terror and tension to the people. By your reign of terror you have silenced every Tamil voice except a few of which I am one. If you are not going to help to find a solution for the ethnic problem during my life time, you will never find one. Please give up your demand for separation and accept a federal solution within a United Sri Lanka, which will receive very wide support, surprisingly even from un-expected quarters.”

 

Repeated initiatives taken by me to bring the LTTE back to the negotiating table failed. I tried to persuade him, pleaded with him and even warned him, but nothing could change his mind. Had he listened to me the entire LTTE cadre would have been transformed by this time and the country would be enjoying full peace, with a solution found. The LTTE did not show any sign of agreeing for a reasonable solution as an alternative to separation. They keep on maintaining through the pro-LTTE media their commitment to a separate state. They were also claiming themselves as the sole-representatives of the Tamil People and therefore have the exclusive right to speak on their behalf. I was the first person in my country who rejected the claim of the LTTE that they are the sole-representative of the Tamils. The LTTE got upset over my rejection of their claim. At the last Parliamentary Elections they could get 22 of the 23 Members elected fraudulently for the North and the East and successfully eliminating me. The election was virtually conducted by the LTTE cadre. Rival candidates were not permitted to get involved in any type of campaign. They were not allowed even to cast their votes. There had been large scale impersonations thuggery and intimidation to the extent of the Election Monitoring Teams recommending annulling and a re-poll in the North and the East.

 

INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO TERRORISM

 

Except a few countries that promote terrorism in various states, for reasons best known to them, rest of the countries in all parts of the world shun violence in any form and respect the democratic norms. They will not dare to promote terrorism in any country but will certainly help to eradicate it, if not satisfied with the cause for which the terrorists had grouped themselves. All countries respect human values and will go all out to protect the Human Rights, Fundamental Rights and Democratic Rights of the people. However we cannot expect the International Community to act unilaterally without our responding favourably to solve the problem that we face. No country will be prepared to accept the blame of suppressing a movement when it claims that the problem in respect of which it was formed, still remains unsolved and no reasonable solution is forthcoming.

 

It may be relevant if I quote form the letter dated 7^th May, 2006 addressed to His Excellency the President by me : “The International Community that had thrown its full weight to find a solution to our ethnic problems is gradually getting disgusted with the whole thing and it may not be a surprise if they give up their efforts totally. Each country has its own problems to bother about. The very frequent visits, of the Japanese Special Envoy His Excellency Yasushi Akashi and the Swiss Government’s offer, without any hesitation to host the Peace talks in Geneva and many other good gestures displayed by various countries, clearly show that every country is prepared to do anything to make the talks a success. It is the LTTE’s ignorance that prevents the LTTE to grab the golden opportunity made available to them. They should realize that the attitude of the International Community, the European Union in particular, will not remain the same through out. They should therefore give up making unreasonable demands, with the deliberate intention of dragging on the talks”.

 

In the same letter I have also said, “The European Union has in one way shown its resentment to the LTTE by imposing a travel ban on them and thereby given a signal that they are not going to tolerate their activities for ever. It was equally a signal to the Government of Sri Lanka that, unless it comes forward with a proposal reasonable enough in their assessment as one that could be recommended by them to the Tamil People or to the LTTE, it is not going to be hard on the LTTE”.

 

REGIONAL RESPONSE TO TERRORISM

 

I wish to reiterate that our dealings with the neighbouring countries relating to terrorism and their activities should be very tactful. It is a big relief that our relationship with countries at the regional level are very cordial and their assistance in combating terrorism is very encouraging. I am quoting a paragraph from my letter dated 7.5.2007 addressed to His Excellency the President to prove how our neighbours help us to combat terrorism.

 

“Although not obliged to do so, the Sri Lankan Government has a moral duty to keep the Indian Government and Tamil Nadu informed of the proposals, in appreciation of the efforts taken by the Indian Navy and Tamil Nadu Police to curtail the activities of the LTTE and causing the arrest of the LTTE cadre and the Tamil Nadu Nationals involved in transporting materials used to make bombs. If not for the Tamil Nadu Police and the Indian Navy, we would have faced grave disaster. To remind what Mahatma Gandhi said, “India and Ceylon can’t afford to quarrel with each other”. Please see that due to our lapses the International Community does not loosen its grip on the LTTE. We always need India’s especially the Tamil Nadu’s assistance to keep the LTTE at bay”.

 

TRANSFORMING “TERRORISTS” : LESSONS FOR SRI LANKA

 

The question of transformation of terrorists will arise only when the problem which created the terrorists finds an acceptable solution. Successive Governments during the past thirty years could not offer a tangible solution. Whatever offered did not even come close to what the Terrorists are demanding. Further more what is offered by the Government, although too little is rejected as too much by the opposition and when the opposition takes over the reigns of Government, the same story had been repeated. It is very unfortunate that some politicians are too selfish that they only want power and not interested in the welfare of the suffering people. Merely because the demand of the Sri Lankan terrorist group, also described as freedom fighters by one section of the press, is unreasonable, it does not mean that the Government should reject it even without offering some thing that would come close to what the terrorists demand. As for me I do not accept them as freedom fighters because today the situation is that the ordinary people will have to be liberated from those so called liberators.

 

The Government is well aware that a larger section of the Tamil people do not recognize the LTTE as freedom fighters and are prepared to accept a reasonable solution within the framework of a United Sri Lanka based on the Federal Concept. It is very unfortunate that the country although ready for a Federal Solution some groups oppose it on the unfounded fear that federalism will lead to a separate state. The Tamils today are totally opposed to a division of the country. The people of the country are left at the mercy of the most ruthless terrorist group which will never agree for a solution, leaving the government the only option of submitting a reasonable proposal acceptable to the International Community.

 

The EU had now imposed a total ban on the LTTE with the expectation that the Government of Sri Lanka also will fulfil its obligation to the satisfaction of the International Community, based on the Oslo Agreement within a United Sri Lanka. The Government which is committed to find a solution under the Oslo Agreement, if shows reluctance to do so, will certainly lose its credibility in its relationship with the International Community, that is toiling hard through their representatives to bring back peace to Sri Lanka. We cannot forget the untiring efforts taken by the Diplomatic Community, including the Japanese Special Envoy H.E. Yasushi Akashi in this regard.

 

The arrogant and uncompromising stand of the LTTE, the daily killings by them and the sufferings of the innocent people compelled me on 19^th June 2006 to write to H.E. the President thus : “A situation is now fast developing, due to the LTTE’s arrogant attitude, for your Government to act unilaterally by putting forward a reasonable proposal, acceptable to the Tamils and Muslims. I am not unaware of the constraints you have to act arbitrarily. But since the entire scenario has changed during the past few months, in comparison to the pre-election period, I am convinced that your hands should not remain tied. This is the time you should be free to take independent decisions and act, guided by your own conscience. I can provide you with enough material to substantiate my claim that variation in your policy at this juncture is indispensable”.

 

In the same letter I have said, “What has happened all these years and what is happening in our country every day is more than enough for everyone to realize the urgency to find a solution without delay. When the country is bleeding profusely we can’t take advantage of the situation for political gains. Hence please come out with a proposal assessed as reasonable and acceptable by either the co-chairs or a team of experts nominated by a few countries where Federalism has thrived and offer it to the LTTE for their acceptance. I am suggesting this to avoid any lame excuse the LTTE may find. If the LTTE accepts the proposals, all the other Tamil parties can be persuaded to agree to give to the LTTE majority representation in any administrative set up and make it conditional for them to surrender their arms. If they require security the Government can provide the same.

 

If the LTTE rejects such a proposal the only option the International Community has is to get together and tame them by various ways, including imposition of strong sanction and such other steps necessary to pressurize them. If your proposal confines to the Oslo Agreement to which the Government is committed, the LTTE cannot justify their rejection. The Indian Government too had very clearly and firmly said that it will go all out to prevent division of the country and also that it will deal firmly with terrorism. Although this remark is made in relation to India, it equally applies to Sri Lanka also because only 28 miles of the Palk-strait separates Sri Lanka from India.

 

India’s main concerns are its sovereignty and integrity. India is totally opposed to separation and terrorism, more in their own interest than ours. However we can take it as an overall guarantee to allay the fears of some Sri Lankans who think that a federal solution will lead to separation. India’s stand on these matters had never changed with every party that came to power, and will not change in the future as well. The main reason, for my continued agitation for a solution based on the Indian model, is that it satisfies those who are opposed to the Federal and Unitary type of constitution. The Indian one is neither federal nor Unitary and the Indians take pride in saying that they believe in “Unity in diversity”.

 

The LTTE is such a ruthless organization with unyielding character will never agree for a solution other than separation. The Government without any delay should submit a reasonable proposal acceptable to the International Community and Minorities. I do not think that the Government will have any difficulty in soliciting the support of the entire opposition to solve the problem and leave it to the International Community to pressurize the LTTE to agree for the solution that has been accepted by all the other concerned parties. It is only then the question of transforming the Terrorists will arise.

 

Once an acceptable solution is found what the parties to the conflict should do are (1) The Government should offer a General Amnesty for all those involved in terrorist activities and (2) The terrorists or combatants or the so called freedom fighters should agree to disarm and demobilize themselves and prepare to re-integrate with the people. The Government must educate the people of their commitment towards re-integration with the groups. While transforming the terrorists, simultaneously the general life standard of the people also should be uplifted to win their hearts and minds in order to ensure a long lasting peace.

 

Knowing the reasons behind terrorism, the Government should take steps to eliminate frustration caused by racial discrimination, oppression, disparities, deprivations, denial of human rights etc, to achieve which the following steps are recommended :

1. State to ensure (a) appropriate action to eliminate racial discrimination and (b) Implement the Language Policy by compulsorily teaching Tamil to Sinhalese students and Sinhala to Tamil students.

2. State to ensure making it compulsory for job seekers to have a fair working knowledge of the Sinhala and Tamil Languages initially and after a specified period full knowledge of both Sinhala and Tamil languages.

3. State should ensure appointments wherever possible in proportion to the ethnic composition.

4. State to ensure enlistment to the three armed forces and the Police in proportion to the ethnic composition

5. State to ensure admission to Universities for those who have minimum requirements for admission.

6. State to ensure re-settlement of all displaced persons during the past 20 – 30 years back in the respective lands in which they lived.

 

Government should also take steps to :

 

1. Re-establish links to the North, East, South and West of Sri Lanka by road, rail and air and also should develop the sea route. Ports in the North and East should be developed in KKS, Pt. Pedro, Mannar and Batticaloa.

2. Start development projects specially in the North and the East with International Funding with the dual purpose of developing the area and providing employment, to impress on the people of the North and the East that the Government is genuinely interested in the development of these provinces.

3.  Identify tourist spots in the North and the East and develop them to attract foreign tourist e.g. Casurina beach at Karainagar, Keerimalai at KKS, island resorts in the North, Pasikuda in Batticaloa are some. I would like to reiterate this point because the successive governments in the last 40 year period, during which tourism developed, had no plans to develop tourism especially in the North and in the East. This is an open secret and a severe discrimination against the populace of the North and East.

4. Take steps to erase completely the feeling of minority and majority prejudices and also eliminate all sort of discriminatory feelings in day to day life.

5. Encourage participation in democratic process by conducting political classes to the ex-terrorists.

 

Encourage frequent visits for the ex-terrorists to get mixed up with all communities freely and friendly in all parts of the country, such as :

 

1. Conduct inter-school cricket tournaments

 

2. Through the sports officers, organize Volley Ball, Football and Ella matches for the youths who had left school or had their studies interrupted. The cooperation of Rural Development Societies, Community Centres, Sports Clubs  etc, can be obtained on an all Island basis.

 

3. The Sharvodaya Movement can be entrusted with the task of organizing Shramadana Camps with the participation of Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims in the rural areas with the assistance of the Rural development societies and Community Centres.

 

4. The same organizations can be encouraged to organize pilgrimages to important shrines like Madhu, Nagadeepa, Kataragama, Kandy, Chilaw, Mannar, Trincomalee etc.

 

5. With the help of the same village level organizations, organize visits to places of historical importance, ruins etc. to understand the culture and civilization of various ethnic religious groups.

 

 

The only Sri Lankan group that can now be classified as a terrorist group is the LTTE. They can be brought under several categories and each one differs with the other. They differ in age, education and civil status. There are mentally affected, disabled, those who are satisfied with the solution, those who still stick to their stand with no intention of changing, high ranking leaders, trained combatants and non-combatant volunteers. The movement being over 30 years old, some of them would be married and having children. Each member of the family will have to be rehabilitated and suitable schools will have to be found for their children. The Leader category of the terrorists if interested in politics should be given all encouragement to do so. All assistance should be given to them to rejoin their families.

 

Depending on the age and their education, each one of the LTTE Cadre should be found admission in Universities, Schools, Technical Institutes and Vocational Training Centres. The married couple’s requirements should be looked into – such as housing, education of their children etc. and also mentally affected and the disabled should be given special attention.

 

Counselling Centres, Vocational Training Centres, Garment Production Centres, Primary and secondary schools and housing schemes should be started to meet the new requirements.

 

To prevent the reactivation of the terrorist movement, the following steps should be taken.

 

1.                   Protection should be given to the ex-terrorists from those who may seek vengeance.

 

2.                   Arrange to send abroad for employment those who do not have the courage to face the society, fearing retaliation for their past conduct.

 

3.                  Offer incentives for giving information that will lead to the detection of concealed weapons, illegal sale of weapons and any preparation for revival of armed struggle.

 

4.                  Regular subsistence for each individual for a specified period to help them to re-establish themselves without returning to terrorist activities.

 

5.                  All concerned persons to be rehabilitated mentally, physically, spiritually and socially, to prevent them from returning to terrorism.

 

 

At this point the majority community also to be educated as to why the government is going too far to assist the terrorists and the North and East while their children and some of their areas are still under-developed and are not getting enough. It should be remembered that when we speak about transforming terrorists the number is not that big. If you take  the LTTE it maybe around 20,000 and their families and other groups which have returned to the democratic process still carrying arms may amount to another 20,000 (Karuna group, EPDP, TELO, PLOTE,EPRLF Padmanaba, ENDLF etc). Therefore transforming them is not a big issue it is only the genuine will and trust from both sides that is needed.

 

In conclusion I wish to quote what I heard from somebody. “In a country where all people are equal, we should not say that somebody is giving somebody something and that somebody is there to receive from somebody something which they do not have or which they are deprived of getting. It should be shared according to their need, and then everyone will feel equal and comfortable in the entire country.”
