FOR THE ATTENTION OF THE MEDIA IN TAMIL NAAD
It is very unfortunate that some Tamil Naad Politicians use the Sri Lankan Ethnic Issue for their personal gains. Every one in India and in Sri Lanka, even in most parts of the world, know fully well that creation of a separate state of Eelam is an impossible task. The International Community is opposed to it and the Indian Government is also vehemently opposed to it. The option available is to agitate for a Federal Solution, with the only one alternative of adopting the Indian model, enabling the various regions in Sri Lanka to enjoy powers equivalent to those presently enjoyed by the state of Tamil Naad.
Inciting speeches by Tamil Naad Politicians will only cause great embarrassment to the Tamils more than half of whom live in harmony in the South with the Sinhalese. A number of incidents the LTTE got involved in were deliberately done by them to spark off a communal riot. Fortunately good sense is prevailing.
What is needed for the Tamils is first, liberation from the LTTE under whom they are undergoing untold hardships. Every home in the LTTE held area is like a funeral home. All grownup children are being taken away by the LTTE cadre compulsorily. Parents who resisted are mercilessly assaulted. The outside world dose not know what is happening in the LTTE held area popularly known as the “Iron Curtain” area.
I am now releasing to the press a few letters that had not been published so-far. The letters speak for themselves. If the Tamil Naad politicians had taken my suggestions seriously the ethnic problem would have been solved by this time. The reason for failure of Tamil Naad, in helping to find a solution, is due to rivalry in local politics. Even now, if all political parties get together forgetting their differences a quick solution is still possible. For the information of the Brothers and Sisters of Tamil Naad, I should say that in the history of Jaffna, no one died of hunger atleast during my life-time.
The following letters are released to the media. It should be noted that without the concurrence of Tamil Naad the Central Government could not have acted, the issue being so sensitive.
