The
President is respected by the people of Sri Lanka. Therefore,
he has a right to keep the people informed without hiding any thing from them.
The 13 Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka must be removed lock,stock
and barrel, without leaving any trace of it remaining in the Constitution.
It was a “desecration”
of the Constitution of the Sovereign State of Sri Lanka, by a manipulating
Indian Government. At the time there was
no alternative left for the then President J.R.Jayawardhane other than to give
into the pressure of India, with terrorism remaining the main threat, and the
friend on whom he heavily depended for support, the USA dropping him off like a hot brick, at a time he needed his friend the USA most.
It was a
case of accepting the proposal made by India to adopt the 13A to the Constitution or
allow terrorism to continue undeterred protected by India
which would have kept its armed forces ready in case Sri Lanka attacks the terrorists.
The proposal had been accepted by the President
of Sri Lanka
under duress. Therefore, legally the document
they signed accepting the inclusion of 13A into the Sri Lanka Constitution is not
valid, and therefore null and void.
If despite
that the President having a two third majority in Parliament hesitates to
remove it. He is making all efforts to
keep the 13 Amendment removing only some still unspecified powers given to the Provincial Councils under
the 13th Amendment. He consults all political parties. He even asks the TNA which
is openly defying the authority of the President , the Constitution and the
Parliament to participate in the PSC along with the other Political parties to
decide on the 13 Amendment. There must be some reason for the President to do so.
If so, the majority of the people who wants the
13A removed completely from the Constitution of Sri Lanka, has a right to know why the President
hesitates to take such a decision himself.
He could perhaps do so using his
Executive powers and face the consequences as he did in the case of his determination
to carry out military operations against the terrorists until they were
completely eliminated.
More time
the President takes to take a decision, more and more international trouble
shooters will pop up to stop the President carry out his duties towards his
people. India our enemy number one is already on the war path, inviting the TNA the
terrorists in civil to discus the implementation of the 13 Amendment.
DBS Jeyaraj
accentuate the Indian Prime Minister’s displeasure on the proposal to remove
land and police powers from the 13A.
Jehan Perera the pro-terrorist NGO begins his article with the blessings of The Island’s Sahabandu.
Sarawanbavan the TNA MP informs that India has sought an urgent meeting
with the TNA on the 13 Amendment.
Not only
the Tamil Diaspora and the Western anti Sri Lanka players but also the Sri
Lanka NGO funded goons are on the war path against the removal of the
13Amendment. It is time that the President takes a positive decision.
It appears
that there should not be any difficulty in rescinding the India Sri Lanka Pact from
what the DMDK founder and Leader of
Opposition in the Tamil Nadu assembly A. Vijayakantin has said in a statement to Yahaoo News of the
11 June,2013 in reference to the 1974 agreement with which India transferred Katchatheevu
Island to Sri Lanka:
“ As
circumstances change and unforeseen hardship is caused, it is quite natural for
any treaty to be reviewed and altered if necessary," So why not the India Sri Lanka Pact ?
India
cannot also wash its hands off its
responsibility of the thousands of civilians and Army personal who lost their
lives between 1987 and May,2009, since the India Sri Lanka Pact was forced on
the then President of Sri Lanka. In
intervening by trespassing into the Air Space of Sri Lanka to save the
terrorists by dropping packets of lentils and forcing the government to enter
into a pact, India has committed herself, committed to the very
hilt to account for aiding and abetting
terrorism in Sri
Lanka.
This is the
very India which refused
transport to thousands of Sri Lanka Soldiers in Jaffna besieged by the terrorists that in
1987 forced the Sri Lanka Armed forces to stop a winning war against the
terrorists. In doing so India
gave a life line to the terrorists to continue its massacres from 1987 to 2009.
If not for India’s intervention, forcing itself into the
air space of Sri Lanka,
thousands of lives would have been saved from terrorism, and the Sri Lanka
Armed Forces may have eliminated terrorism in 1987 itself. India which now dictates terms to Sri Lanka to implement the 13Amendment is as responsible as the terrorists for the
deaths of those thousands of Civilians and the Army Personal in Sri Lanka.
Though India is our close neighbour and pronounces incessantly its close
connection with Sri Lank and its special relationship with the Island it cannot
be ruled out that India is
secretly working in close collaboration with
America and other
anti Sri Lanka, to divide the
Island allowing USA
to have a Military Base in Trincomalee.
“India
desperately planning to divide Sri Lanka” wrote Ashraf Javed Lahore on 22 March, 2011, in an article
to the Nation, and added , “ In a desperate move to assert
its hegemony in South Asia, India is covertly planning to divide Sri Lanka in
order to teach a lesson to the well-educated island nation for looking towards
China for leadership and guidance, it has been reliably learnt on Monday.
WikiLeaks cable also exposed New Delhis designs to divide Sri Lankan by
creating ethnic and sectarian strife among its people. With reference to Sri Lanka, India
has stepped up work on three-pronged strategy; divide the overall population,
support militant groups which are loyal to India
and urge international powers to press Colombo
on war crimes, a Sri Lanka-based defense analyst (not Sri Lankan) told this
report by phone.”
The
President Mahinda Rajapakse should not hesitate to remove the 13 Amendment from
the Constitution completely, and pass new legislation for a more workable and a
progressive system of regional administration.
If he has any impediments against such a decision the President should
inform the people. It is the President’s
duty to the people who elected him to the high Office.
