Genocidal Sri Lanka’s ‘reconciliation’ in Vanni, abetted by its international partners is building huge Buddhist stupas there, while keeping Eezham Tamil natives in cloth tents. If building Buddhist establishments and new Sinhala-military townships in Vanni is the job of the state and re-building houses for the war-ravaged people and providing them with ‘milk and bread’ are the jobs of others and the diaspora, what is wrong in Eezham Tamils and their diaspora demanding the world for their country to be handed over to them for the true development of its people and to ensure ‘milk and bread’ really reach them, asks a Tamil politician in Jaffna, particularly addressing India and two other South Asian countries Pakistan and Bangladesh that will be attending a Chinese sponsored coaching programme of Colombo by the end of this month on how to conduct genocide with international abetment.
Colombo’s concentration presently is on completely Sinhalicising Vanni.
The mushrooming Buddhist stupas built at a huge cost in Vanni are the epicentres of the programme.
At Kanakaraayan-ku’lam in Vavuniyaa district an extensive Buddhist complex is being built currently, adjacent to the A9 Highway. Colombo has confiscated some private lands for this purpose.
The Buddhist stupa currently built at Kanakaraayan-ku’lam with the backing of the occupying Army is going to be massive, reaching to a height of 500 feet.

The main opposition accused the government of promoting state terrorism. United National Party (UNP), say the compulsory leadership training for new undergraduates is a step in that direction.

Compulsory training was initiated by the ministry of higher education

Speaking to media on Wednesday, MP Lashman Kiriella said, “This training is the initial step towards preparing candidates for state terrorism”.
Unsuitable for female students
Criticising the residential training camps held inside security establishments, the MP say that it is also a burden on poor families. “People can’t afford to buy the set of clothes required for the training. It costs over ten thousand rupees”.
He also says the training environment inside security forces and police camps, is not suitable for the security of female students.
Indian influence
The opposition also blamed the government of not taking part in a fruitful discussion with the other political parties while engaging with foreign powers.
“India seems to be dictating how things are done here. For months since the end of the war, we had been asking the government to lift the emergency. Now India had told them to do so”. Said the opposition spokesman.
He also blamed the ruling party for the massive loss of lives due to prolonged civil war.
Thousands died
“When we suggested the thirteenth amendment, they opposed it. A consensus at the time would have prevented the war, loss of thousands of lives and developing hatred”.
“Now they have agreed with India to go beyond the thirteenth amendment. Why is it only agreeable when India suggests it?” the UNP questioned.All nearby lands in the locality have also been confiscated by the genocidal state and local people are prohibited from entering the whole locality.  Full story >>
