Tamil Extremists After Industrial Colombo Not Infertile Jaffna

All families of TNA MPs live in Colombo! Their demand for Tamil Eelam is a sham to distract people and terrorise them into extorting more economic benefits and privileges in Colombo and surrounds so that a Colombo-centric Tamil Eelam will become more feasible.
Quest for Tamil Eelam was genuine until open war began in 1983. The war and violence convinced Tamils that Tamil Eelam is not going to do them any good. The north and east have no modern industries, arid, infertile (relative to the wet zone) and plagued with caste disputes, regular Indian interference and increasingly severe water shortages. Tamil racists are now after Colombo to be the capital of their Tamil-only Eelam. With Tamil speaking people’s percentage creeping higher and higher along the north-western and western coasts linking these areas to what they call ‘Tamil Homelands’ in the north and east, the shape of things to come becomes clearer.
TNA’s demands must be understood in this light and defeated in areas outside the north and east. TNA is now after areas outside the north and east merely using the north and east as a terrorizing tool. Even the Indian model does not allow Tamil language in states outside Tamil Nadu. This has saved Uttar Pradesh for instance from becoming a mini-Tamil Nadu. A similar provision must be introduced in Sri Lanka. Tamil (Nadu) language can be the only language in the north and share equal status with Sinhala in the east, but it must not be recognized in other provinces as an official or national language. Tamils can still use it in their community as they do in Canada, Malaysia or anywhere else.
Tamil Tiger Terrorists carried out 55 terror attacks on Sinhala civilians in Colombo. Their aim was to terrorize and evict Sinhalas out of the City and they succeeded. Now Colombo City (the most prosperous, industrial, comfortable, advanced in healthcare and education facilities and the economic and transport capital) has twice the number of Tamils than Sinhalese, reversing the demographic balance before the war. There are Tamil-only streets, ghettoes and localities in Colombo-city much like Chennai or Jaffna. The next round of Tamil-only federal units or even autonomous regions will spin up within the Colombo City.
TNA demand for a new constitution and Tamil Eelam are red herrings; distractions. While all their families are living in Colombo and Tamils waiting to colonize Colombo in their millions, TNA knows only too well Tamil Eelam is not feasible. Sri Lanka must not fear their terror tactics and give into anymore appeasements.
Some groups opposing a new openly federal constitution will hail the planned compromise which is a tweak of 13A to allow Tamil separatists a future foothold in Colombo, etc. while allowing them devolution in the north and east.

I agree. Indians through the Tamils want the entire island. Ranil, Sirisena and Choura are only the Sinhalese puppets used to hoodwink the majority community.

Political power sharing or devolution never work for the country, or the people whether it is ethnic or otherwise. Concentrate the political power and decentralize the administistrative power. Cut down the number or white collar thieves by cutting down the number of politicians. that will streamline everything. Bring back the constitution worked before 1972 and amend it with the good parts in 1972 and 1978 constitutions. the govt should be careful what to decentralize and what not to decentralize because, Extremism by Ethnic and religious minoritirs in Sinhalae already have destroyed the country for the Majority people.

The so called Tamils are Indian Colonial Parasites. The same Indian Colonial Parasites are found in all former British-Indian Colonies now Colonies of the Indian Empire.

Best first take care of the FLAWS in the Central Bank (which is in COLOMBO which is eyed by Tamil take over folk !) PROCEDURES before the money tricksters attack the Public Funds and the Fiscal System of the country again !
The Central Bank Report to the Presidential Commission on the CB Bond Scam admitted that the written procedures are FLAWED i.e. can be used by unscrupulous persons to scam away money from the Public Funds. The EPF monies have been depleted, thanks to RW appointing a scheming scammer – shame !
Justice must happen even at this late stage of matters.
* Scam free procedures with Checks & Balances in place, a must for the Central Bank and other banks too, asp.
* Tamil leaders Vadukoddai Resolution (1976) still in place ! VR says : “Eelam by Violence” and this piece of advice from the then Tamil leades has not been even given a side glance by the UN ! What perfidy. REVOCATION of the VR by present day Tamil leaders a must before developing the N&E.
* REMOVE the ILLEGAL 13-A. No need for the 13-A now.
March 5th, 2017 at 1:09 pm
No one in the BHG ( Btrmulla Hora Guhawa) talks about abrogation of 13A, not MR certainly.
All patriots here demand it but support MR unconditionally knowing that HE WILL NEVER DO THAT.
Why ?
March 5th, 2017 at 3:13 pm
To remove the 13-A :
INDIAN permission needed ?
INDIA : Overlord of the Indian Ocean and all that, now with the west.
Ironically, the 13-A was imposed due to the Cold War times (in 1987, on the JRJ govt running with the west), when INDIA was with the then Sov Union.
INDIA also trained the LTTE in Tamil Nadu at that time.
Both events were done to obviously upset Lanka’s run with the west.
Now INDIA is running with the west, and Lanka continues to run with the west too.
So, now is the time to remove the 13-A, with both INDIA & Sri Lanka running with the west.
Comments welcome.

Randeniyage,
That is because some so called PATRIOTS are just PARROTS.
They just PARROT what POLITICIANS say.
This is the DEFINITION OF A PATRIOT: a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.
Nowhere it says politicians.
A supporter of a patriot is NOT a patriot.
March 5th, 2017 at 3:23 pm
Fran,
There is NO “13A”. It is 13 amendment.
By saying 13A people IMPLY there will be 13B, 13C,………, 13Z.
What is the stand of MR on 13 amendment? I have NEVER heard him say we should REMOVE 13 AMENDMENT. He personally told me in 2014 that 13 amendment is now part of law and CANNOT be SCRAPPED.
Fran, please don’t contradict MR.
March 5th, 2017 at 3:33 pm
Randeniyage,
We PATRIOTS don’t really “know” that MR will “never” REPEAL the 13th Amendment. That is only SPECULATION! We have to FORCE HIM to do it after the NEXT ELECTION, and may be very willing to do that given the REJECTION of his attempts to negotiate (remember the PSC) by the Tamil leaders between 2009 and 2015.
He did not REPEAL it after the war was won, because he felt that support for the 13A among Tamils would go away, and he would be able to REPEAL it after he had developed the nation and reconstructed the war zone and helped to rehabilitate the war-affected.
Many of us Patriots knew better, that Tamil leaders are inherently RACIST, and with Tamil Nadu demagogues ever present to STOKE THE FIRE, and the ISSUE being a convenient DIVISIVE TOOL for the Western Powers pursuing their NeoColonialist agendas, we would never be able to eliminate the drive for EELAM by the EELAMISTS voluntarily. It must be IMPOSED regardless of their protests …. in the interest of all citizens, and especially the ordinary Tamils held captive by their Racist leaders.
We always felt that it must be made IMPOSSIBLE by the Sinhala majority in the interest of peace and progress in the nation as a whole for all communities.
Mahinda had another problem beside Tamil racism:
He had just expertly managed with great skill to balance Indian and Western interests fending them off until the war could be won. It was TOUCH-AND-GO.
Most patriots talk as if there was no problem in REPEALING 13A in the wake of the defeat of the LTTE. NOT SO. MR needed TIME, at least another DECADE of national development and economic growth, with strong economic links to other nations, for Sri Lanka to be able to weather and survive the sanctions that were very likely to be imposed by Foreign Powers and even the UN upon REPEALING the 13A.
His JUDGMENT was to DEFER the decision until the Tamil Community saw no advantage in it, and the nation was strong enough to prevail over its foreign enemies impiding sanctions.
Unfortunately, our Sinhala Modayas swallowed the Western and Tamil Diaspora orchestrated mantra of corruption, corruption and still more corruption HOOK, LINE & SINKER and stabbed themselves in the belly by voting for the Yamapalanaya.
Now that we are mired DEEP IN THE YAMAPALANAYA CESSPIT, we might as well BITE THE BULLET and restore a PATRIOTIC GOVERNMENT as a prelude to REPEALING thr 13A and DISSOLVING the Provincial Council System!
Sri Lanka is now economically weaker than it was in 2015 to face the resulting sanctions, but is STRONGER than it was in 2009. The reality is that Sri Lanka CANNOT advance politically or economically with the EELAM sword hanging over our head; so might as well REPEAL the 13A and DISSOLVE the PCs NOW, and bear whatever pain that come with it economically.
It seems that the Yamapalanaya’s PURPOSE in DELIBERATELY GUTTING OUR ECONOMY is to drive Sri Lanka into a weak position so that the Sinhala community can be blackmailed into accepting a Federal System favoring ghe Tamil snd Muslim separatists.
If we don’t RESTORE a Patriotic GOSL NOW, and REPEAL the 13A and DISSOLVE tge PCs soon after, Sri Lanka will be condemned to many decades of economic STAGNATION and slow DISINTEGRATION into a patchwork quilt of Racist Apartheid Bantustans!

USA,
We PATRIOTS don’t really “know” that RUN-NIL will “never” repeal 13 amendment. That is only SPECULATION!
We PATRIOTS don’t really “know” that SIRA will “never” repeal 13 amendment. That is only SPECULATION!
MR had 164 seats at one time but NEVER repealed 13 amendment. He even appointed his NEPHEW Shashindra as UVA CM. What hope of repealing 13 amendment after that!
Racist Bantustans happened already.
Look at eastern province. Since 2012 the CHIEF MINISTER is NAJEEB.
Look at northern province. Since 2013 the CHIEF MINISTER is VIGGIE.
If you don’t see these BANTUSTANS you will never see any!

Katussa (Lorenxo),
So if you see things so CLEARLY NOW, how come you VOCIFEROUSLY SUPPORTED your “Maru Sira” and OUST MR?
Didn’t your crystal ball tell you what WOULD HAPPEN is the DISASTER WE ARE HAVING NOW?
So, I CONCLUDE, that was your DESIGN, not an ACCIDENT as you would have us believe now in your attempt to force more bitter medicine down the throats of Sinhala Modayas!
Either you are a CONGENITAL FOOL who believed in the Yamapalanaya by your own admission, or an EELAMIST AGITATOR trying to destroy the Sinhala people.
Whist is it, Katussa ( Lorenzo)? FOOL or EELAMIST?
In EITHER CASE, why should we trust the prognisticatiobs of a FOOL or an EELAMIST?
Many of us Patriots at LankaWeb, WERE NOT FOOLED, and supported the war-winning patriotic government that delivered our motherland from rack and ruin.
So, PRAY TELL ME, why should we trust a SELF-ACKNOWLEDGED FOOL or an EELAMIST AGITATOR? Why?
We KNOW WHO & WHAT you ARE, and WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!
So, PLEASE BUGGER OFF from LankaWeb; we don’t need your STUPID exhortations!
Read my lips: B-U-G-G-E-R O-F-F!

Lanka rejects UN call for foreign judges in war probe

Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has rejected a fresh appeal from the United Nations to allow international judges to investigate alleged war-era atrocities, vowing to not prosecute soldiers.
“I am not going to allow non-governmental organisations to dictate how to run my government. I will not listen to their calls to prosecute my troops,” the president said in remarks distributed by his office yesterday.

To remove the 13-A, the best party is the UNP (westward Ho ! INDIA hey !), with MS in tow.
After all, the Exec PM is there because “the west wants it so” (per Pres MS).
March 5th, 2017 at 5:12 pm
A recent statistic points out that baby Muslims less than 5 years outnumber those of the Sinhalese. Just imagine this this statistic is correct, the scenario in 15 years! Whither Sri Lanka – whither Sinhalese?
March 5th, 2017 at 5:25 pm
HERE is what the Tamil ALLIES of the Yamapalanaya do went they go abroad!
Their Tamil TERRORISTS of these SunGod worshippers MURDERED hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Sri Lanka, but they present themselves as WAILING VICTIMS in Geneva!
They should be TARRED, FEATHERED and KICKED all the way back to a PRISON in Sri Lanka!
UTTER HYPOCRITES &^ TRAITORS!</b.

Sri Lanka main Tamil party welcomes report of the UN Human Rights High Commissioner
Sat, Mar 4, 2017, 12:57 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Mar 04, Colombo: Sri Lanka’s main Tamil party, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) welcomed the report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the implementation of the 2015 Human Rights Council resolution, and its recommendations.
In a statement, the TNA said while the report acknowledges some areas of progress, such as discussions on constitutional reform, it is critical of the government’s failure to deliver with respect to a number of critical issues.
The TNA said it shares the concerns of the Report that confidence building measures such as land releases, release of prisoners, repeal of the PTA, reform of the Victim and Witness Protection Authority and ending military involvement in commercial and civilian activities have not been pursued satisfactorily. “In fact, the failure of the government on these issues are steadily eroding the trust of our people,” it said.
“We have continued to express our concern about the lack of progress on the issue of accountability, and have called on the government to present a time-bound action plan to implement its own commitments. The systemic failure to make progress on emblematic cases in the regular courts highlights the need for a special court with robust international participation in keeping with the government’s commitments. We welcome the High Commissioner’s recommendation echoing this demand. We also call on the government to operationalize the Office on Missing Persons forthwith. The inexplicable delay in doing so unconscionably prolongs the agony of the families of the disappeared.”
“We therefore welcome the High Commissioner’s call that the Human Rights Council sustain its close engagement with the Government of Sri Lanka and ensure monitoring of developments in the country.”
The Tamil party called on the Government to demonstrate good faith by making swift progress on the issues highlighted by the High Commissioner.

Sri Lanka’s Colombo to see second fastest growth in super rich: study
Sun, Mar 5, 2017, 08:04 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Mar 05 (ECONOMYNEXT) Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo is likely to see a 160 percent growth in the super rich with more than 30 million dollars (Rs45bn) in personal wealth to 182 individuals over the next decade, the fastest after Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, an international consultancy has said.
The 2016 Wealth Report by Knight Frank, a UK based property consultancy said Sri Lanka had 3,400 dollar millionaires, 170 multi-millionaires (more than 10 million dollars) and 70 ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWIS) with more than 30 million dollars.
However no dollar billionaires were listed as being resident in Sri Lanka.
Personal wealth is measured by liquid assets such as land, homes and stocks.
Only Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam was expected to grow faster that Colombo, at 170 percent with 30 million dollar plus individuals growing to 243 by 2026, from 90 individuals in 2016.
Both cities however were growing from a relatively small base.
India’s Hyderabad which had 260 ultra high net worth individuals would also see a 160 percent growth to 676.
Mumbai which had high property prices would see a 150 percent growth in super rich to 3,350 in ten years.
Shanghai in China would see the super rich growing 150 percent to 6,450 individuals from the current 6,450. Shenzen would also see a 150 percent growth to 1725 individuals from the current 690.
Hong Kong already had 4,080 super rich and would see them grow 40 percent to 5,712.
Singapore had 2,500 super rich individuals and was expected to grow 40 percent to 3,500.

Cabinet to review decision on pension payment
SundayTimes.lk
March 5, 2017
By Damith Wickremasekara
A Cabinet decision to calculate pensions of retiring public sector employees, based on pending salary increases leading upto 2020, has been put on hold, officials said. The decision to hold back the implementation of the Cabinet paper approved in January this year came after it was revealed that the move would cost the Government billions as some 100,000 public sector employees who will retire during that period will be entitled to the benefit.
The Cabinet paper by the Ministry of Public Administration and Management proposed that a Rs 10,000 salary increase announced last year should be taken into consideration in calculating the pensions of those retiring even before it was fully implemented. The salary increase is being provided in five stages and only two stages have been implemented with three more stages to be implemented until 2020.
The Sunday Times learns that the Cabinet paper had been rushed through without outlining the full implications. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Management is due to review the decision. Public Administration Ministry Secretary J.J. Ratnasiri told the Sunday Times that the implementation of the proposal had been put on hold due to the non-availability of information on the number who had already retired, who will benefit from the scheme, the number due to retire and the financial implications.
To implement the cabinet decision, the Ministry had already prepared the circular to be dispatched to ministry secretaries, provincial council chief secretaries and heads of departments. The Ministry in its circular has justified the calculation on the grounds that calculation of the pensions would be complicated after public servants gain the full salary increase.
It has also pointed out that in the event of the death of the employee before 2020 he or she will not be entitled to the benefit and therefore the calculation should be done on the basis that the employee received the Rs .10,000 increase.
The Government currently pays pensions for some 1.4 million public sector employees and armed forces personnel with the pension bill amounting to above Rs. 180 billion.

Amidst all the political bickering and party clashes, the astronomical growth in Tamil and Muslim minorities outside the north and east continues. The north and east cannot sustain such a massive growth due to resource limitation. However, the Wet Zone can.
This is the gravest threat to the nation and its natives. We have been distracted to disregard this danger.
March 7th, 2017 at 8:52 am
Yes, there are Distractions galore to lure us away from the hidden negative truths in Lanka.
