 The UNHRC with the backing of USA and its stooges’ persistence to
probe Sri Lankan affairs is a clear cut indication to destabilise one of
the fast developing countries in South East Asia. It is apparent that
supporters of this dubious claim is due to nothing but bruising of their
ego from the time Sri Lanka created history in decimating the LTTE, a
ruthless terrorist organization that displayed high level of barbarism.
It butchered all its rivals, gunning down moderate Tamil intellectuals,
suppressing democracy, killing innocent Tamil, Sinhala and Muslim
civilians, decapitating mothers and infants simultaneously, executing
Buddhist clergy in Saffron robes, blasting Sinhala leaders and
politicians with suicide bombing, devastating soft economic targets and
sought refuge of ceasefire agreements only to re-group, re-arm and
strengthen their brutal activities.
Many successive governments’ zealous optimism of bringing peace only
became prey to LTTE tactics (from 2002 and 2006 ceasefire agreements).
Prabhakaran's callous strategy buckled with the closure of Mavil Aru
sluice gates which threatened a mammoth humanitarian disaster for a good
section of the population in the East (Tamils, Muslims and Sinhala
alike). These very poodles who have emerged now as bastions of human
rights, shedding crocodile tears for a megalomaniac who carried an
additional sin of making young children cannon fodder, complacently
turned a Nelsonian eye at the time terrorists not only massacred humans
but the very word they use now Human Rights Violation!
Turning point
When President Mahinda Rajapaksa was faced with an alarming
humanitarian crisis with the closure of Mavil Aru, he had no option but
to resort to an irreversible offensive to free Sri Lanka from the
terrorist grip. Fortunately Sri Lanka has always been a blessed island
from time immemorial. With such blessings and fortitude of the three
Security Forces, President’s resolve came true.

During final stages of the war when international pressure was thrust
upon Sri Lanka to bail out Prabhakaran, Tamil Nadu politicians on the
other hand pressurised the Indian government, in a typical vote gaining
exercise. Naturally India became trapped between the devil and the deep
blue sea as the timing of Tamil Nadu strategy was such that India headed
for a general election at the time. As expected, the Indian Congress
Party did not want to upset the political applecart by alienating the
Tamils with a huge voting chunk. The issue thus became politically
sensitive and made India to help Sri Lanka covertly.
With the international pressure building up, Sri Lankan Security
Forces were left with only a breathing space to go on a ‘bulls eye’
attack to finish the war and rescue innocent Tamil civilians who were
trapped in terrorist control areas. With diligence, finally they managed
to crush terrorism from its roots and bring about peace and harmony to
citizens of this country.
Rehabilitation
In any given war situation no one can ignore the occurrence of a
certain amount of civilian casualties. In the case of the LTTE warfare,
terrorists should be blamed for forcing and using their own civilian
people as humanshields.
When the war zone was cleared more than 11,000 LTTE cadres
surrendered to the Security Forces out of which 6,100 adult cadres have
been rehabilitated and released by June 2011. Five hundred and ninety
five child soldiers who surrendered have been reunited with their
families within 12 months. Rehabilitation programmes are continuously
running at an enormous expense to the government which is an arduous
task especially when it comes to people who from their childhood had
only seen killing and smelt blood instead of going to school.
Out of those LTTE hardcores who surrendered, George Master and Daya
Master have spoken openly about the LTTE atrocities as well as the
effective and compassionate rescue operation conducted by Security
Forces during the last stages of the war. Today those rescued Tamil
peasants are coming out openly on TV and thank President Rajapaksa for
creating not only an atmosphere to move about freely within the country,
but with the clearance of thousands of mines their ability to move into
once war torn areas and cultivate crops and earn a living which was
denied by terrorists who pretended as their liberators for a long time.
There had not been any statistical records of people who lived in the
North at the last stages of the battle as a large number of Tamils had
left Sri Lanka illegally as refugees to foreign lands during the battle
time. An estimated 100,000 refugees (LTTE cadres inclusive) have left
for India. Presently large numbers are living in other countries as
refugees, particularly in the West, at the cost of tax payers money and
formed what they call a ‘Tamil Expatriate Diaspora’ to keep on feeding
the poodles with wrong information for the very detriment of their own
folk in the North and East. Many have fled to other parts of Sri Lanka
and engaged in entrepreneurial activities and living comfortable lives
in Colombo.
Facts
What is the real reason behind hypocritical behaviour of US and UNHRC
stooges against Sri Lanka? It could be Sri Lanka’s refusal to comply
with a US request to engage Sri Lankan highly trained troops to combat
guerilla warfare in Afghanistan immediately after the LTTE elimination.
India, China, Russia and Pakistan are fully aware of this, as such, Sri
Lanka can depend on them if it comes to a UN Security Council vote.
Going by facts and not by hearsay third party information, the UN
probers should listen to their own conscience first, rather than
continue to harass a sovereign nation where her populace is completely
contended with the freedom they now enjoy.
Perhaps American pretenders and their UN cohorts may have got the
meaning of the word ‘Human Rights’ wrong by looking at their own makings
in Libya, Palestine and Iraq where hundreds of thousands of innocent
civilians were killed in the name of human rights operations and are
studying blue prints right now to do the same in Syria.
