Ananthi blames war criminal Silva for blocking collective memorial at Mu'l'livaaykkaal

[Mon, 17 May 2021, 19:23 GMT]

SL President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Commander of the SL Army, General Shavendra Silva, have deployed the occupying military to suppress the 12th collective Mu'l'ivaaykkaal Remembrance of Tamil Genocide at the sacred memorial site, said former councillor Ms Ananthy Sasitharan on Monday. She was talking to TamilNet after the SL military blocked her from entering Mullaiththeevu. The SL military was using Covid-19 as an excuse to shut down two divisions surrounding the memorial place. War criminal Silva, who commanded the notorious 58th Division that waged the genocidal onslaught in Vanni in May 2009, is now leading Colombo's Operation Centre for Preventing COVID-19 Outbreak in addition to being the commander of the SL Army. His military men were also responsible for destroying, desecrating the memorial lamp and removing the enormous memorial stone brought to Vanni from Jaffna on 12 May. Full story >>

13 ஆம் சட்டத்திருத்தத்தால் கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட இன அழிப்பை எதிர்கொள்ள முடியுமா?

[Tue, 02 Nov 2021, 15:32 GMT]

13 ஆம் திருத்தம் முழுமையாக நடைமுறைப்படுத்தப்பட்டாலும் கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட இன அழிப்பின் வேர்களை மட்டுமல்ல ஒரு குச்சியைத் தானும் பிடுங்கும் ஆற்றல் அதற்கு இருக்கப்போவதில்லை. இலங்கை ஒற்றையாட்சி அரசியலமைப்பில் வேரூன்றிய சட்டவிதிக் கூறுகள் (entrenched clauses) என்று விபரிக்கப்படுகின்ற கூறுகளில் குறிப்பாக ‘பௌத்தத்துக்கு முன்னுரிமை’ (foremost place to Buddhism) என்பது ஒற்றையாட்சி முறையின் மூன்றில் இரண்டு பெரும்பான்மைக்குரிய ஒன்றாக இருக்கும் வரை எந்த மாகாண அரசின் நிரல் ஊடாகவோ அன்றேல் மத்தியும் மாகாணமும் ஒத்துப்போகவேண்டிய நிரல் ஊடாகவோ அமுலாக்கப்படக்கூடிய எந்த அதிகாரப் பரவலாக்கல் (devolution) மூலமாகவும் வடக்குக் கிழக்கில் மேற்கொள்ளப்படும் கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட இன அழிப்பைத் தடுத்த நிறுத்துவது இலங்கையில் இருக்கும் நீதி மற்றும் மக்களாட்சி முறைகள் ஊடாகச் சாத்தியமற்றது. தடுத்து நிறுத்துவது மட்டுமல்ல அதன் வீரியத்தைக் குறைப்பதும் இயலாத கைங்கரியம்.

. . . In order for the State in the person of school officials to justify prohibition of a particular expression of opinion, it must be able to show that its action was caused by something more than a mere desire to avoid the discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint. Certainly where there is no finding and no showing that engaging in the forbidden conduct would "materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school," the prohibition cannot be sustained . . .

South Africa to Singapore: global Tamils grasping geopolitics to act: The South African conference held in Durban has come out with many demands that are dear to the heart of Tamils, such as demilitarisation, stopping Sinhala colonisation, repeal of the 6th Amendment to facilitate free negotiation etc. But the slip was still showing when the conference avoided the term genocide. What was more ironical that betrayed the deception was the slogan of the conference organizers that called the country they want to salvage as ‘Sri Lanka’, boldly written in Tamil.

Tamil leadership need not shy away or react to unfair challenge coming from Sumanthiran: Eezham Tamil polity seeking pardon from Tamil-speaking Muslims should be unassuming, but it should come in an enlightening way to the edification of the Colombo-centric agenda or the powers-guided agenda, pursued in the past as well as in the present. Otherwise, it may only amount to conferring impunity to the State in Colombo and its abettors.
