Chief
Minister of NP C.V.Wigneswaran speaking at the AGM of the Sarvodaya Movement had said that the people
in the North are not against the Sinhala per se, but against “Sinhalization “
of the North and East. Gihan Nicholas of
Ceylon Today, had qualified it as a
“bold statement”, but coming from Mr.Wigneswaran, it is the most “cowardly statement” he has made.
Because the
two sons of the Chief Minister Wigneswaran are married to two Sinhala women,
therefore it is perfectly in order to ask him whether his two sons have been Sinhalized or his two
daughters-in-law got Tamilized ?
I am sure
they live in perfect coexistence with
plenty of love, with the two sons of Wigneswaran remaining
Tamil, and his two daughters-in-laws remaining
Sinhala. We wish them and their children all the happiness.
One of my
best friends was a Tamil and
he was married to a beautiful Sinhala woman.
They were the most happiest of couples I had met. My friend remained
Tamil(until he died recently) and his wife remains Sinhala.
The CM
Wigneswaran is an ideal person if he wants to, to reconcile the Tamils and the
Sinhala and bring in more Sinhala to settle in the North, to make him more at
home in an environment in the North
similar to that of the South of Sri Lanka where he was born and lived all his
life. CM Wigneswaran is a perfect
example to make the Tamils in the North not to fear “Sinhalization” of the
North by the Sinhala people coming to reside side by side with them .
In speaking
at the AGM of the Sarvodaya he seemed to have forgotten that fact. He also has forgotten that having been born
in the South, living with the Sinhala
people, studying with the Sinhala students, working with the Sinhala, and living side by side with the Sinhala families he
has not been Sinhalized, and is very much a Tamil, like Sampanthan, Santhiran,
Sivajilingam, Anandi Sasitharan, and all
the rest of them.
There are
more than 55 percent of the Tamil population living in the South, they have
their, Kovils, residential homes, Commercial Units, Restaurants etc but the
South has not become Tamilized, nor have
the Tamils in the South become Sinhalized,
or the Sinhala people Tamilized.
So what does
this “bold Statement ” of the Chief Minister of Northern Province mean ? He is speaking like a man who has been
brainwashed by the TNA and hence forgotten his anticedents.
Perhaps
it may be another way of taunting the Sinhala going on the old adage “Sinhalaya
modaya. ” No more Mr. Wigneswaran, the Sinhala will
suffer indignities to a point but not beyond that, you can be sure.
The CM NP
Wigneswaran continues, “We have no doubt that the
Army is stationed in the North with ulterior motives. We see it taking place.
Our lands are being grabbed. Our businesses are being grabbed. Our employment
opportunities are being grabbed. How long does the government want to keep its
military forces in the North? These are questions which must be posed by
reasonable, ordinary, humane Sinhalese in the South. It is indeed their duty to
do so.”
It is indeed the duty of the Sinhala in the South to cry out for the Chief Minister, his fellow
Councillors, the TNA MPs, and the Tamils of the North to hear, that we in South want the Armed Forces to
remain in the North and the East in greater numbers as much as they are in the
South.
Because we the Sinhala remained in the South trusting that the Tamils in
the North and the East will remain peaceful, harmonious, honest and conciliatory.
But they allowed themselves to be fraternised by the Indian RAW spies
amoung them, and allowed their children to be trained as terrorists,
unleashing terror in the whole of the island of Sri Lanka .
Do we want it to happen again ?
No, we will not want it to happen
again. And we the Sinhala in the South want the Sri Lanka Armed Forces to
remain in the North and East for now and for ever.
The Chief Minister of the North his fellow Councillors, the TNA , and the Tamils of Sri Lanka should never
forget that the Sri Lanka Soldiers who eliminated terrorism in the North and
East and brought peace have become a part of the North and East anointing the
land with their own blood.
Some of these young Buddhist Soldiers breathed out their last breath in the
precincts of North and East in giving
their lives for the freedom of the Tamil people in the North and the East.
Hence Mr. Chief Minister Wigneswaran if you believe in a soul, the souls
of those Sinhala Buddhist Soldiers who died
in the North and East have already commenced the process of
“Sinhalization” of the two provinces.
Therefore, as the first Chief Minister of the Northern Province after the eliminatiuon of terrorism, please
adopt a different attitude than that of the TNA MPs of less education, and
destructive political philosophies.
After the elimination of the Terrorists a new era has dawned in Sri Lanka . The people in the North did not vote for the
TNA. They voted thinking that you as an ex Judge who lived all your life with
Sinhala people could change the lives of these poor Tamil people in the North from what
it had been before terrorism, during terrorism, and after terrorism.
These Tamil people of the North deserve new hope and new relationships outside
a narrow Communal system, and end having to live under the continuing
aggressivity of the TNA MPs.
Therefore Mr. Chief Minister, please do not act like a robot
manipulated by the TNA, but act like a wise man who can take his own decisions,
being nobody’s puppet.
The Chief
Minister then spoke of media gossip of
the anti Government Lanka News Web, “The latest we
hear is that a former LTTE military commander is being commissioned to restart
an LTTE outfit, subservient to the powers that be. Thus the ‘White Van’ drama
could now be enacted by a different cast.”
It is another ruse to serve on a platter to the International interferers, of another
possible means to discredit the government and making it difficult at the UNHRC
Sessions in March next year.
There is no reason for the government to endanger the country with
another round of terrorism even under its own control. The Armed Forces itself
will not support such an adventure.
These are rumours that should not perturb any one, least of all the
Chief Minister of the Northern P.C.
