Government Forces lead by Army Commander Gl. Sarath Fonseka , are fighting to save the Tamils in the terrorist held areas from the clutches of terrorism.
By Charles.S.Perera
Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka, in saying, what he said to the Canadian Journalist has not in any way committed any breach of a sanctimonious code or rule. Therefore neither the Army Commander himself nor the President need act to nullify the statement he has made. All right thinking Sri Lankans who have no axe to grind are on his side and we pray he continues to do his duty towards the motherland until the last of the terrorist is removed or "eliminated".
General Sarath Fonseka , rose from the dastardly assassination attempt of the terrorists, with the determination to end the menace of terrorism, and today he is on the verge of attaining his object. The battle against terrorism in the north and the east, which had lasted over two decades, has benefited the Tamils and Muslim more than the Sinhala.
The Tamil diaspora will not understand it as they were living in clover, while the poor Tamil civilians under the grip of a ruthless group of terrorists, went through untold suffering living in constant fear of the brutality of the terrorists.
Of course, the Tamil Homeland seeking diaspora cared less for the suffering civilians in the terrorist held areas, hoping the terrorists led by their dear hero Prabhakaran, will deliver their much sought homeland. Now, they are all up with their "arms", and verbal hysteria defending the human rights of the poor civilians in Killinochchi, which according to them are being violated by the Armed Forces of the Government of Sri Lanka.
It is strange that some of them were not there when the human rights of the civilian population in the larger territory held by the terrorists were not only violated, but simply confiscated by the terrorists at the point of their guns.
Now they come in their hordes on the false pretext of saving the human rights of the poor civilian population , to save the skin of their terrorist heroes, still hoping that saved from being executed by the Government Forces, they will some how start another terrorist war to wrench a territory from Sri Lanka to set up their Tamil homeland.
The diaspora after all contributes Dollars in millions, and the suffering of the poor Tamils became a ritualistic sacrifice on the altar of the evil "thalaivar" for this "evil lord" to deliver their craved homeland. In the mean time it meant to the poor Tamils in the terrorist controlled areas , a life living in fear, not only of their own lives , but also the fear of the lives of their children who were being snatched almost from their cradles to be trained as suicide "bombs", or used as cannon fodder in the "war" against the hooked and blinkered Sinhala "racists".
The General Sarath Fonseka's statement was a god send for the Tamil diaspora to make the biggest possible noise to be heard by the International Community, human rights activists, and pro-terrorist lobby inside and outside Sri Lanka to intervene to stop the "elimination "of terrorism from Killinochchi.
They call for the removal of the Army Commander, for the one and only purpose of saving Prabhakaran, Pottu Amman, and their misled terrorist cadres from being decimated.
But they little realise that the Army Commander Sarath Fonseka and his Armed Forces are the only means to save the poor Tamil people from being trodden under the jackboots of the terrorists. In these areas in Killinochchi, now being cleared by the Government Forces, there are no Sinhala people. Therefore the Government forces are fighting to save the people living their –the Tamils- kept as "prisoners" of the terrorists, who use them as a human shield to save their wretched lives.
Once the Government Forces led by the Army Commander Sarath Fonseka removes the brutal terrorists, the areas now controlled by them, will come under the control of the Sri Lanka Government . The Government of Sri Lanka is the government of all the communities living in it- Tamils, Muslims, Sinhala, and all the rest.
The Tamil Community in Sri Lanka are distinctly different from those
in Tamil Nadu. Therefore, the allegiance of the Sri Lanka Tamils could
not be displaced elsewhere. We the Sinhala, Tamils and Muslims should
put ourselves together to make a Great Nation of Sri Lankans.
