Open letter
to Mr. Pujitha S.B.Jayasundara, Inspector General of Police of Sri Lanka.

Mr.Pujitha
S.B.Jayasundara,
Inspector
General of Police,
Dear Sir,
I am
presently living abroad but I am a man from a small village in Sri Lanka
I have read
you are also from a village
Mahamukalaanayaaya in Bogamuwa. That means you are a real son of the soil and
must have seen youths from your village also joining the Armed Forces to fight
the ruthless terrorism that we had thought for a long time was an invincible
force. Many of those Sinhala Buddhist village
youth whowent to defend our country, came back in coffins, while some had gone
missing, and others have escaped after sacrificing their limbs
in the terrorist war. It was in their heroism that our country was saved
and we live tody in peace and security.
But we pay
only lip service to these war heroes who are our own children. This is while those who
should take responsibility for deaths, disappearances and mutilation are today
demanding that our war heroes be taken before International Criminal Courts. This had been going on ever since the
elimination of terrorists and even the International Community treats our war
heroes as their war criminals and the terrorists as their heroes. This has to end without our Government treat the terrorists and who
aided abetted them with soft gloves, while our war heroes are being sacrificed for a
seemingly unachievable reconciliation with the Tamils- specially the TNA Tamils
politicians.
The TNA which keeps calling to take revenge from
the Sri Lanka Armed Forces for the elimination of the terrorists,
disappearances, violation of human rights, was a part of the terrorist equip
terrorising the people along side
Prabhakaran. In English Law it is said that you cannot go
to court with blood on your hands. Therefore
neither the TNA no the Tamils of the diaspora who financed the terrorism purchasing arms and equipment for
them terrorists cannot now accuse the armed forces for war crimes when
they were a part of the terrorists aiding and
abetting the terrorists.
In 2001 the
LTTE during the heights of its ruthless terror against the people, wanted a political
arm to defend and be their spokes persons
in the Parliament and outside the terrorists controlled areas. Terrorist leader Prabhakaran selected the
present set of TNA Parliamentarians. They set up an alliance along with Tamil
Political parties such as ACTC (All Ceylon Tamil Congress), the EPRLF (Eelam
People’s Revolutionary Liberation Front), TELO (Tamil Eelam Liberation
Organization), TULF (Tamil United Liberation Front).
Thereafter TNA under Sampanthan of ITAK declared that
the LTTE is the sole representative of
the Tamil people, Ananda Sangaree of TULF who disagreed left the Alliance
The
activities of TNA since then had been organised by the terrorist leader and for
all intents and purposes TNA was a part of the LTTE terrorist set up. Please see the article by Ms.Shenali Waduge
in the Lankaweb entitled: Haul TNA to Court for links with LTTE terrorists
& Separatist Demands- http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2019/03/25/haul-tna-to-court-for-links-with-ltte-terrorists-separatist-demands/
-for details of the involvement of TNA
with terrorism since 2001 to date even
after the elimination of terrorism.
After
elimination of terrorism in May,2009, the then Government of ¨President Mahinda
Rajapakse should have disbanded the TNA but for whatever reason it had not been done and we are today
suffering the consequence of that failure.
Dear Sir,
since 2001 TNA which had been involved
with the terrorists and terrorism never raised a voice against the savagery of the terrorists and their
massacres of innocent villagers, passengers of busses and trains and mass
killings by placing claymore bombs in markets and public places, and
assassination of many political figures and officers of the Armed Forces and
the Police.
In their silence
through out the period of terrorism the TNA and its members were aiding and
abetting terrorists in those massacres, assassinations, without directly
participating in the bloody savagery of
the terrorists.
Even today
the TNA Parliamentarians continue in terrorising the newly settled Sinhala people in the villages
calling for their identity cads and property Deeds. Recently a group of Tamils supported by some TNA politicians occupied
the Mulathiu Nayaru Khandha Ancient Buddhist temple on the Pongal Day ,
threatened the resident monk Venerable Kolamba
Medalankara Kiththi Nayaka thero, and even dug a foundation for a Kovil
in the temple premises.
Though no killing had been done this too amounts to a terrorist
activity, to frighten persons and make
them leave the area in fear for life.
These TNA politicians continue to criticise and condemn Sri Lanka in
international forums and contact foreign countries complaining about imagined discriminations
against the Tamils by the Government calling for their assistance to win
separate rights and priviledes to the Tamil people and to cooperate with them for the setting up of a separate
Tamil only Province in the North and East. Their statements against the
Government are in breach of the Constitution and amounts to criminal defamation
Despite these activities which are in contravention of the Constitution, the law
is not being applied against the TNA Parliamentarians. They are not even been
called to the Police Stations and warned against making such statements.
Most often when questioned as to why the TNA Parliamentarians are not
taken to custody when they make seditious and libellous statements, authorities
cite an on going reconciliation, and state
that the law is kept silent not to hamper
the reconciliation process.
The reconciliation is not a one sided activity. If TNA wants the other
communities of Sri Lanka
The Tamil people are kept silent by threat, and made to follow the TNA
through fear of them and fear of retaliation. If the Law is applied to the TNA
politicians and make them understand that they are not outside the law of the
country, the ordinary Tamil people will trust in law and order and act freely without blindly
following the TNA MPs through fear and
for favour.
One Mr.Jayantha Liyanage of Sinhala
Mahasabha once filed an FR action against the TNA, but the courts advised that
as there was a move for reconciliation with Tamils it is
good that the legal action is not taken against them for the moment.
But this is not correct any more as the law should be applied when it
is broken or in the process of being broken. What is the use of a police force
Sir, if you are absent in the North and allow the TNA politicians go free
despite their criminal activities that
hamper peace security and freedom of the people.
TNA Parliamentarians Shritharan’s
recent statement that Gotabhaya Rajapakse had killed over 140,000 Tamils
which is false and therefore a statement
of criminal defamation. It is not acceptable that he is allowed to go free after
making such seditious statements. He should be called to the Police Station and
warned not to make such false accusations which makes him liable for criminal
prosecution.
There is no reconciliation in
the police allowing these TNA Parliamentarians to break the law, and
still go free. The Police should call Shritharan
to the police station to warn him about making such statements of criminal
defamation, and warn him against making such statements in future.
I do not intend to write more as you may already be aware of these
unlawful activities and pronouncements of the TNA Parliamentarians. They are
citizens of Sri Lanka
As a member of the Public I implore you not to be a onlooker of breach
of law and order by the TNA Parliamentarians,
and request you to intervene to make them understand that they too should respect the law.
Yours Sincerely,
Charles.S.Perera
