LTTE's Smoke Screening Of The Relief Effort Devised To Their Own Advantage And Needs To be Quelled !
As the near superhuman effort towards rebuilding in Sri Lanka as much
as parallel efforts in other affected global areas continue there never
seems to be too much emphasis and attention towards de-politicizing the
issue, the joining of all benevolent forces without political or ethnic
divisions and getting on with what needs to be done emphatically and unequivocally
towards even a partial restoration of Sri Lanka's devastations.
While the manouvering of the politicians and their stance in Indonesia
seems precedent invoking and their distrust of foreign military presence
and unwanted attention from the foreign media justifiable,there seems
to be parallel connotations to what is presently transpiring in the so
called 'Tiger Controlled Areas' in Sri Lanka (somewhat of an embarassing
misnomer relative to the Sovereignity of Sri Lanka ) in that there too
an unwanted foreign infiltration seems to be a disconcerting manifestation
which continues in gay abandon, unchecked where the similarities with
Indonesia nevertheless digresses in paradox and ironically the contradictions
of the Tigers have surfaced thankfully from these incursions as being
relatively exaggerated .
In Sri Lanka nonetheless it appears to be the inability on the part of
the Administration to make unilateral decisions as the governing body
without bending to various opinions from various quarters about what's
needed towards the relief effort without compromising the integrity of
Sri Lanka, her constitutional and legal statutes and making no prevarications
or hesitations towards informing everyone concerned who exactly is in
charge. Not Thamilselvam! not the TNA nor the LTTE who probably have unfulfillable
promises to keep to their supportives and miles to go before they sleep
! To add to their chagrin they seem leaderless, with depleted armaments
and cadre which seems to have increased their desperation whose transparencies
now stick out like a sore thumb while an eager world awaits the responses
of the Sri Lankan Government and how it intends to counter the LTTE's
current attitude which is by no means beneficial to a post Tsunami Sri
Lanka.
The effort is undoubtedly hampered to a great extent by the innuendo,
theatrics and blatant falsification of facts relative to the real situation
within Sri Lanka by the Tamil Tigers, their parliamentary proxies, websites,
supportives and operatives led by their somewhat quizzical political leadership
Thamilselvam , deputizing for a "GONE MISSING VELUPILLAI (PRABHAKARAN)
PIRAPAHARAN, FOR WHOM IT IS RUMORED THE LTTE ARE LOOKING FOR AN IDENTICAL
DRESSUP TO MEET FOREIGN DIGNITARIES AS THE REALLTTE HEAD HONCHO HAS APARENTLY
VANISHED INTO THIN AIR OR MORE REALISTICALLY PERHAPS INTO THE SWIRLING
WATERS OF THE TSUNAMI TGETHER WITH SIDEKICK POTTU AMMAN!
Thamilselvam who despite his inability to communicate in the English language as much as his mentor seems to spew high flowing rhetoric of obvious translated or ghost written acumen rather than promoted by personal grey matter within himself whilst primarily having little ground to stand on legally and constitutionally and politically.
Aggravatingly though, the Tigers have somehow managed to sneak in their
proxies into Parliament and believe in their capabilities towards maintaining
their 'thorn in the flesh' mentality towards Government attributes of
well being for Sri Lanka ( perhaps on a regrettable note by the status
quo that contestations of the legality of the TNA's entry in to parliament
were not made at the appropriate time when the EU observers sounded the
warning at the last Election and the price for it being paid now!) and
continue to mislead the International Community and world leaders while
claiming redress towards non existent circumstances of abject suffering
in their area and painting a pathetic picture of exaggerated Governmental
neglect which some gullible international sources seemed to have swallowed
hook line and sinker if some responses are to be relatively construed.
It also seems perplexing and aggravating that despite accords set in place
by the Sri Lankan Authorities that it expressley desires the overseeing
of all the relief work and needs to channel all operations pertaining
to the relief effort which they are surely equipped for and admirably
bolstered by the backing of more moderate international sources willing
to toe the line with Governmental requests while their demands are sidelined
by others!
Due to the indiscretions of the Tamil Tigers, their questionable parliamentary representation , now boosted by the dubious TRO with leanings towards rebuilding the LTTE War Chest and the persistence of some misguided Foreign Government as well as UN Representatives that their presence is imperative towards Sri Lanka's needs, there is more hampering rather than helping the cause by all the pundits and know alls foraging for information in the devastated areas and perhaps time for reconsideration and taking a time out to re-evaluate whether foreign self assertions towards their own righteousness and consciences despite the theatrics of the LTTE will be of any long range benefit to Sri Lanka!
The following statement by S.P.Tamilselvam fully ennunciates the theory of many qualified observers that the agenda of the LTTE is far removed from their required contribution towards Sri Lanka's recovery from her recent devastations.
Quoting Thamilselvan, head of the political wing of the ethnic Tamil
rebels who thus far have never relented their past while persisting blatantly
despite world opinion towards their quest for an independent state said
Saturday." The Sri Lankan Government lost a chance to revive the
peace process despite hopes that the state and guerrillas would unite
in efforts to recover from the Tsunami, and the Sinhalese-dominated government
has given minimal assistance to rebel-held areas, instead channeling most
international assistance to areas under its control. "It has dashed
hopes of reconciliation," end quote of Thamilselvan in an interview
at his headquarters in Killinochchi, a town in northern Sri Lanka that
serves as an administrative base for the guerrillas where the relevance
of the Peace Effort ssems to have bounced backwards into the same perspective
as their veiled threats to ursurp it before the Tsunami hit though arguably
with no viable means now, more so than before to substantiate their rhetoric.
The LTTE continue to smoke screen the relief effort combining much subterfuge
and irrelevant rhetoric which grows meaningless with time and a colossal
hurdle towards real accomplishment of the greater priorities than the
existence of a motley bunch of internationally condemned terrorists and
perhaps high time something substantial was done towards stifling and
quelling their efforts which as always are self centred towards their
own objectives and the travails of Sri Lanka continue!
