Point of view

An open letter to British High Commissioner

Save the Sinhala nation from terrorists

Your excellency's speech on February 8 to the Sri Lanka United Kingdom Society is riddled with conceptual flaws and conflicting parallels in comparing the proposed devolution in Britain with that of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is the motherland of the majority indigenous Sinhala sovereign nation. The non-indigenous Tamil community is claiming national rights in the host country.

The Tamil national rights and their heritage are well served and preserved in Tamil Nadu with more than 57 million Tamils living just 35 km off the northern tip of the Sinhala country.

In no other country in the world except Sri Lanka, are settlers murdering the indigenous people. This is primarily due to the close proximity of their motherland whose kin support them in their barbaric actions against the Sinhala nation. 

So it is a fact that what is happening in Sri Lanka is an insidious Tamil invasion to establish a second Tamil country by killing peace loving Sinhala people.

This is due to a blackout of facts, in particular, the Tamil portrayal of it as an ethnic conflict and liberation struggle surprisingly with the indirect blessing of the Sri Lankan politicos and their indifference about the rights of the helpless small Sinhala nation. 

Adding to their misery, Britain has done nothing to restore justice, instead they have pressurised the Sri Lankan leaders to concede to alien Tamil demands.

Devolution, especially for Scottish and Welsh people is justifiable because these are their motherlands and they have no other lands of national origin elsewhere, like the Tamils in Sri Lanka have Tamil Nadu or Indians and Pakistanis have their countries. The Scots and Welsh not only deserve devolution but even secession if they so wish in their rightful motherlands.

When you stressed the importance of "consensual politics", its common denominator should be unitary status, otherwise it leads to the setting up of countries within a country. This is valid for Scotland and Wales as these were invaded by the English.

In your speech referring to devolution and constitutional reforms taking place in the UK and Sri Lanka, you said, "devolution could be a force to strengthen, not weaken nationhood and that the many cultures, faiths, languages and traditions of the people of Sri Lanka should be a source of strength and pride".

There is ample evidence of the soft touch approach of the past and present governments to the Tamil invasive terrorists while swiftly eliminating Sinhala terrorists during the JVP crisis. 

The so called war for 17 years is phoney and designed to get the Sinhala youth killed off by the Tamil invader.

Justice for the Sinhala people is long overdue and requires someone like your excellency to bring justice and truth out of the shadows.
