If 13 abolished, Kachchatheevu will be the outcome. India puts the bridle to Sri lanka.
Thursday , 30 May 2013
13th
amendment was implemented with the backing of Indian government, and
Sri Lanka government is taking measures to abolish it, and the outcome
will be Kachchatheevu to take back, is the decision taken by the Delhi
administration is according to information received from high level
diplomatic circles.
Concerning this issue, Congress party leader Sonia Ghandhi, Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh, External Affairs Minister Shalman Kurshid
including state high level officials held discussions with their
diplomats in Delhi is according to information received from those
circles.
Massive opposes which have never happened before are now got emerged
in Sri Lanka against the accord signed by Sri Lanka and Indian
governments as a settlement to the Eelam Tamils in the year 1987
Mainly the government’s chauvinist’s partnership parties of Alliance are
raising objections against “13” and they have taken measures to submit a
motion at the parliament appealing to abolish it.
Defense Ministry Secretary, President’s brother Gottabaya Rajapakse and
chauvinists Sinhala movements on behalf of the government are expressing
opinions against the “13”.
Minority community parties and leftist parties which are membership
parties of the government, is supporting to boost the “13”, however the
Sri Lanka Freedom party which is the main party of the government, is
continuing to maintain silence without revealing its stance.
Government is evading from this situation by giving statements that
contradictions amidst a alliance government is a political democracy
tradition. This clearly affirm that government will show the green flag
to make amendments in the “13”
Reports furnish that government is making efforts to implement a bill to
grab the land and police powers existing in the “13” before the
northern election.
In the issue of “13”, major disorder has emerged in the Sri Lanka
political circle, and concerning the “13”, India has focused its utmost
attention.
Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Kurdish recently was engaged in a
telephone conversation with Sri lanka External Affairs Minister and had
warned to refrain from making any amendment in the 13th amendment which
is aware.
In this situation if Sri Lanka government attempts to undermine or to
abolish the 13th amendment from the constitution, the consequence will
be that India would take back Kachchatheevu from Sri Lanka. Concerning
this the Delhi high level is strongly discussing.
Kachchatheevu was in the control of India until year 1974, was later
handed over to Sri Lanka by the Sirima Shastri accord by India.
If Sri Lanka interferes with the 13th amendment which was introduced by
the India, India certainly will take back Kachchatheevu, is the opinions
of political analysts.
Meanwhile Tamil Nadu parties are still voicing against Kachchathevu granted by India to Sri Lanka.
Indian military intelligence visits Jaffna, Vanni
A
team of high-ranking Indian military intelligence officials, led by
Indian Armed Forces Intelligence Unit Director General R.N. Singh,
visited Jaffna and Vanni on Wednesday and Thursday. The team was
received by the genocidal Sinhala military occupying the country of
Eezham Tamils. The Indian visit, that took place while Rajapaksa
delegation was in Beijing and was signing major agreements on money and
defence, follows China’s Vice Intelligence Minister’s visit to Jaffna
and Trincomalee in April. Any visit of Indian officials is nowadays
considered a jinx and is much feared by Tamils in the island, just as
they fear sooth-saying persons coming in the middle of the night with
curses from the cremation ground, because of the long history of such
Indian visits foretelling escalation of miseries during the war and
aftermath, commented news sources in Jaffna.
India and genocidal Sri Lanka have military to military relationship.
The
commander of the occupying Sinhala military, Maj. Gen. Mahinda
Hathurusinghe, first received the visiting team of Indian military
intelligence at Palaali in the Sinhala military zone in Jaffna.
At
Palaali, the visiting Indian team marked an important imperial ritual
of paying homage at a recently opened memorial for the IPKF that had
committed war crimes against Tamils quarter a century ago.
The
Indian military doesn’t pay homage anymore at the abandoned memorial,
remembering soldiers died in the war against Tipu Sultan, erected by its
Madras Regiment at the fort of Sri Rangapatna, commented an academic in
Jaffna.
After
holding talks with the Sinhala commanders in Jaffna, the intelligence
team left for Ki’linochchi. In Vanni the team was received by the
commanding officer of the occupying Sinhala military headquartered in
Vavuniyaa.

General RN Singh was accorded a warm welcome on his arrival at the

Even
though it was said that the visiting team was discussing about
‘humanitarian activities’ taking place in the North, news sources said
that there were strict orders from the visiting team to the Sinhala
military that no news on the deliberations should be revealed.
Tamil
media was not allowed to photograph the visit in Jaffna, but photos of
the visit to Vavuniyaa were somehow released to Sinhala media in
Colombo. In Jaffna, officials of the Indian diplomatic mission had made
many restrictions on the release of news in the local media.
The team was on a visit to get first hand experience of the ground situation, commented news sources.
The
presence of Indian military intelligence in Vanni during the genocidal
massacre is a widely acknowledged secret among the SL military sources.
But
this is the first time after the withdrawal of the IPKF in the early
90s that a high-ranking Indian military intelligence team is making an
official and open visit to the island, news sources in Jaffna commented.
