Tamils for Obama Congratulates TGTE Prime Minister Rudrakumaran for Election to his Second Term
- Tuesday, 31 December 2013
The
Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) re-elected Mr.
Visuvanathan Rudrakumaran as their Prime Minister for their second
Parliamentary term on December 6, 2013.
During his first term, the TGTE gained diplomatic recognition from two countries, South Sudan and Northern Ireland.
Additionally, TGTE promulgated a Freedom Charter on May 18, 2013 (this
was inspired by the African National Congress's Freedom Charter in South
Africa).
Presently, in addition to the campaign for an international
investigation, TGTE is also campaigning for an International Protection
Mechanism for Sri Lankan Tamils and to secure the release of documents
on Tamils prepared by the Office of the Special Advisor to UN
Secretary-General on Prevention of Genocide.
"Rudrakumaran and Tamils for Obama share the same goal. Both believe
that referendum among Tamils inside Sri Lanka and Tamil diaspora will
contribute to the political solution to the conflict" said a spokesman
for Tamils for Obama.
"Also, we see the purpose of TGTE as laying the foundation for an
independent Tamil Eelam and democracy in the northeast of Sri Lanka" he
continued.
"Under Rudrakumaran's leadership, we trust that process has begun.”
"It is noteworthy that TGTE's Constitution mandates that it should
realize its political objective only through peaceful and democratic
means" continued the spokesman.
Mr. Rudrakumaran practices law in Manhattan, New York.
Tamils for Obama is a politically active group of Tamil Americans. They
believe that over 70,000 Tamil civilians were massacred during the last
weeks of the Sri Lankan ethnic war. They have also watched the behavior
of the Sri Lankan Singhalese victors after the war, and strongly
conclude that Tamils in Sri Lanka will only be safe when this
unfortunate island is divided into two states.
To contact the group, call at (516) 308-2645 and speak to, or leave a message for, the Communication Director, Tamils for Obama.
