An Open Letter to Keith Vaz , MP

Ben Silva UK

Hon Keith Vaz , MP

Dear Mr Vaz,

APPG T and demise of Mr Thamilselvam

Summary
The need to have an APPG for Tamils is questioned, when it is the Tamil war lords from South India, that has caused the destruction of the ancient Sinhala civilisation, throughout the history of Sri Lanka. LTTE is simply repeating history. The APPG for Tamils appear to be a group in favour of Tamils and discriminates against Sinhalese. It is questioned, if the formation of the APPG for Tamils is a result of exposure to LTTE propaganda or if is it a result of, part of the massive profits, in excess of 200 million dollars, made by LTTE, falling into the hands of some corrupt politicians. . Various published literature indicate that over 250000 Tamils have been given refugee status in UK, resulting in the discrimination of Sinhalese and also giving Tamils a massive political and economic advantage over the Sinhalese.

Further the Sinhalese are a minority, in comparison to Global Tamils, and the home country of the Sinhalese, Sri Lanka is being destroyed by a terror campaign unleashed by Tamils. If at all, it is a APPG for Sinhalese that is needed, to look after the needs and welfare of Sinhalese, and to stop the Sinhalese being driven to extinction by the Tamils. These are some of the questions that should be answered by British Politicians. With reference to the demise of Mr Thamilselvam, the death of any human is a sad occasion for me, and I express my sympathy, irrespective of if he is a terrorist or not. Unfortunately LTTE is responsible for the deaths of over 60000 persons over a period of over 25 years. You have not protested about the innocent Sinhalese villagers that are being brutally hacked to death by the murderous LTTE terrorists..

Mr Thamilselvan was a key military person of the killing machine LTTE. Many have indicated that Mr Thamilselvan was anything but a peace dove. You made no response, when the Israel military neutralised founder of Hamas Sheik Ahamed Yassin, who was a 67-year old wheelchair-bound quadriplegic cleric.

You have to either defeat terrorism or let them carry out lawless murderous activities. LTTE have routinely killed civilian workers. Please also remember that LTTE killed Sri Lankan Tamil Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar and also two important Prime ministers. Assasination is the trademark of LTTE. LTTE agents disguise as civilians and carry out murders in Sri Lanka. LTTE have eliminated many Tamil politicians. LTTE never wanted peace Sri Lanka. ( confirmed by Karuna, former LTTE No. 2 in Command ) LTTE only wanted time to regroup, re-arm, and wreck havoc on the people of Sri Lanka. It was the LTTE, commonly known as Tigers, that began "Ealam War IV" on Sri Lanka in 2005-2006.

What is shocking and disgusting is that you are sad about neutralising and thereby disabling a terrorist leader. Your attitude to terrorists and your naivety , make it easier for terrorists to operate and make the world a dangerous place for law abiding peace loving citizens. You appear to project the voice of terrorists. Many question if you are totally naive, even out of your mind or if you have been rewarded by LTTE [23]. By taking the side of terrorists, many suspect that you have no sense of morality, or values and that you have no principles, but simply ‘play for Tamil votes’. The Sri Lankans should have the basic HR to live free of terror , that is funded from rich Western Countries [10],[11],[12]. A simple analysis would indicate that the terrorist problem facing Sri Lanka is mainly to due lack of law enforcement and carelessness/negligence` of officials in Western countries.

Demise of Mr Thamilselvam

I am referring to your views on Sri Lanka. It would appear to me that your knowledge of the situation in Sri Lanka is limited, perhaps due to the LTTE propaganda you may have been exposed to. You may be unaware that LTTE, a terrorist organisation, get funding from bogus Tamil refugees all over the world , and cause death and destruction in Sri Lanka. Please bear in mind that the Sinhalese have done absolutely no harm to any of the Western Countries that allow fund raising by LTTE to destabilise Sri Lanka.

Why do we have an APPG for Tamils, when , throughout the history of Sri Lanka, marauding Tamil war lords from South India have invaded Sri Lanka, routinely, destroyed the irrigation system of the Sinhalese, destroyed their culture and caused the decline of the ancient Sinhala Civilisation. With reference to the formation of APPT for Tamils, is this a result of exposure to LTTE propaganda or is it an effect of the massive profits, in excess of 200 million dollars falling into the hands of some corrupt politicians. Various published literature indicate that over 250000 Tamils have been given refugee status in UK, resulting in the discrimination of Sinhalese and also giving Tamils a massive political and economic advantage. Further the Sinhalese are a minority, in comparison to Global Tamils. The home country of the Sinhalese, Sri Lanka, is being destroyed by a terror campaign unleashed by Tamils. If at all, it is a APPG for Sinhalese that is needed to look after the needs and welfare of Sinhalese, and to stop the Sinhalese driven to extinction by the Tamils.

What exactly is happening ?. Is the LTTE propaganda so effective, that the truth is not relevant ?

These are some of the questions that should be answered by British Politicians.

I hope SLHC and SA would take up these issues. It is absolutely outrageous that Tamils are given preferential treatment over other ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, causing massive instability in Sri Lanka.

I will attempt to put the true situation in a nut shell.

Sri Lanka is the only home the Sinhalese have, and Sri Lanka has been the home country of the Sinhalese for over 2500 years. The Tamil war Lords from the neighbouring South Indian Tamil State, regularly carried out destructive raids in Sri Lanka. These regular destructive Tamil raids caused the destruction of the ancient, unique irrigation system, and caused the decline of the Sinhalese Civilisation. The Tamil war lords have carried out massacres and ethnic cleansing and have driven out the Sinhalese from their traditional home areas in the North and East of Sri Lanka. Now the Tamils appear to expand Tamil Nadu by trying to carve out a large part of Sri Lanka, for a mono ethnic Tamil State. LTTE is repeating history and carrying out the same type of destruction in Sri Lanka, that was carried by previous generations of Tamils. I have of course, nothing against the peace loving Tamil brethren, but simply wish to expose LTTE and their supporters.

You need to be aware that 54% of Tamils live amongst the Sinhalese, and live in peace and harmony. Further the Tamils live all over Sri Lanka, amongst the Sinhalese.

Large number of Tamils are now living in Western countries, who have arrived in those countries as bogus refugees. These bogus refugees carry out propaganda and raise funds for terror activities in Sri Lanka. The Sinhalese have been discriminated and have not been given the same opportunity as the Tamils for residency in Western countries. Therefore the Sinhalese have virtually no 'voice' in Western Countries. In general, you will hear only the Tamil side of the story and rarely the Sinhalese side.

Sri Lanka, being a poor Country have limited means to counter the LTTE propaganda, and is struggling to defeat the racist terrorism, funded by global Tamils. It appears that LTTE has managed to induce you into sympathising the terror group.

Please visit SPUR web site, http://www.spur.asn.au/latest1.htm for information on Tamil atrocities.

With reference to the demise of Mr Thamilselvam, the death of any human is a sad occasion for me irrespective of if he is a terrorist or not. Unfortunately LTTE is responsible for the deaths of over 60000 persons over a period of over 25 years. LTTE have killed many Tamil and Sinhala leaders, including two Prime ministers.

They have massacred many innocent Sinhala women and children. ( http://www.spur.asn.au/latest1.htm).

Mr Thamilselvan was a key military person of the killing machine LTTE. Col. R. Hariharan, a retired military intelligence specialist on South Asia, says "it is amusing to read the LTTE describing Thamilselvan as the `peace dove.' He was definitely not one of that species." You made no response, when the Israel military neutralised founder of Hamas Sheik Ahamed Yassin, who was a 67-year old wheelchair-bound quadriplegic cleric.

If he was not neutralised, it is likely that he would continue in his murderous activities.

It is difficult for me to believe that you are so naive as to assume that a ‘Brigadier’ in the world’s deadliest terrorist organisation is an innocent negotiator.

You have to either defeat terrorism or let them carry out lawless murderous activities. LTTE have routinely killed civilian workers. Please also remember that LTTE killed the Oxford educated, brilliant Sri Lankan Tamil Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar. Mr Kadirgamar was a distinguished lawyer and internationally recognised humanitarian. May I remind you, in case you have a short memory, that LTTE also killed Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi of India and Prime minister Premadasa of Sri Lanka. Assasination is the trademark of LTTE.

Do not forget that USA used nuclear bombs in Japan during the last world war killing over 60000, most of them innocent civilians. I am sure you also know, allied forces fire bombed Dresden killing many civilians during the last world war.

You may not be aware that LTTE agents disguise as civilians and carry out murders in Sri Lanka.

LTTE kill opponents and have eliminated many Tamil politicians.

Please see

http://www.spur.asn.au/prominent_tamil_leaders_killed.htm

http://www.spur.asn.au/killmp.htm

Further, LTTE groom and brainwash children and young people to become terrorists and suicide bombers.

The GOSL had no option other than to neutralise terrorists to safeguard the lives of civilians as well as maintain law and order.

In my opinion, any civilised human being would not allow terrorists to win.

Please see http://www.spur.asn.au/latest1.htm for details of murders and massacres carried out by LTTE. Please do not forget that LTTE has a powerful disinformation and propaganda machine against Sri Lanka.. You need to get a better understanding of the situation in Sri Lanka, rather than just believe in LTTE propaganda. The Sinhalese, a minority in Global terms are struggling to survive, and attempt to defeat Tamil empire building, that attempt to expand Tamil Nadu in India.

LTTE never wanted peace Sri Lanka. ( confirmed by Karuna, former LTTE No. 2 in Command ). LTTE only wanted time to regroup, re-arm, and wreck havoc on the people of Sri Lanka. It was the LTTE, commonly known as Tigers, that began "Ealam War IV" on Sri Lanka in 2005-2006. LTTE used peace talks as a ploy to procure weapons, recruit child soldiers and extract financial support from the Tamil diaspora. You may not be aware that the LTTE on all occasions unilaterally withdrew from negotiations. Even when peace existed, LTTE breached the agreement by surprise attacks on Govt. forces, with massive losses to the security forces. It is common knowledge that LTTE use peace to regroup, re-arm. and prepare for war (Just like the terrorists in the Middle east).

54% of Tamils live in Sinhala dominated areas of Sri Lanka. Sinhalese get killed if they attempt to l live in LTTE controlled areas. LTTE have carried out ethnic cleansing (ref SPUR) and they have driven out Sinhalese and Muslims from their areas. They have killed over 25 Tamil and Sinhala politicians. LTTE agents and fronts carry out a massive propaganda war against Sri Lanka and influence politicians in Western countries, USA, Canada and Australia.

LTTE get their funding from bogus refugees all over the world. LTTE is making a profit in excess of 200 million dollars (Janes defence review http://www.janes.com/press/press/pc070719_1.shtml ).. With this amount of profit, they are able to influence many. I suspect they may have infiltrated or influenced HR organisations.

It has to be pointed out that bogus refugees are generally LTTE supporters, as it was LTTE that facilitated the human trafficking process and provided the support network.

What is shocking and disgusting is that you are sad about neutralising and thereby disabling a terrorist leader. Your attitude to terrorists and your naivety , make it easier for terrorists to operate and make the world a dangerous place for law abiding peace loving citizens.

A simple analysis would indicate that the terrorist problem facing Sri Lanka is mainly to due lack of law enforcement and carelessness/negligence` of officials in Western countries. It would be sensible to deal with the root causes of the` problem rather than attempt to treat the symptoms. As I mentioned earlier, LTTE is not interested in a negotiated settlement, as past events show. In view of the facts given above, It is utterly reckless or naive of you to suggest that GOSL go back to the ceasefire agreement, when it was the LTTE that breached the ceasefire agreement, in the first place.

Terrorism and HR abuses are caused by racist terrorists and not GOSL. The GOSL is simply attempting to maintain law and order. If you want peace in Sri Lanka and want to stop the HR abuse by terrorists, then please take action to stop the funds generated in UK and other countries, that fuel terrorism.

If you are not taking any action to curtail terrorism, but merely sympathise with LTTE, then any peace loving, law abiding person would see you merely as the mouthpiece of LTTE.

The formation of APPG for Tamils is discriminatory and favours Tamils. Already Tamils are heavily favoured for residency in UK and The Sinhalese are heavily discriminated.

Although you may not know much about Sri Lanka , or the situation in Sri Lanka, you are well known in Sri Lanka, with reference to sleaze, and many consider you to be merely a mouth piece of LTTE. In fact you have no credibility in Sri Lanka, or amongst the people around the world who know about the true situation in Sri Lanka [18],[19],[20],[21],[22],[23]. I am sure you know about the ‘Commissioner of the Commons Standards and Privileges Committee ‘, and I do not need to remind you. Please see the appendix, if you cannot recollect.

LTTE well known for corruption, bribery and are masters of deceit. You are well known for sleaze. Many may like to know, if you have been amply rewarded by LTTE.

You appear to project the voice of terrorists, as indicated by many and definitely, not the voice of peace loving people. By taking the side of terrorists, many suspect that you have no sense of morality, or values and that you have no principles, but simply ‘play for Tamil votes’. Due to the obvious racist nature of APPG T (for Tamils) you need to consider if it is rational or sensible to continue with APPG T.

I believe more people should complain to British MP's about the bogus refugee scam and the political influence of bogus refugees who have been given residency in UK. The effect of bogus refugees is to export terror to Sri Lanka, causing death, destruction and massive economic damage to Sri Lanka.

GOSL, like any Govt., should have the right to protect its citizens from terrorism and maintain peace, Law and order in the country.

I shall be most thankful if you could kindly read my letter and take note of the issues mentioned.

With best wishes to you,

Yours sincerely,

Ben Silva
