A Hindu temple with LTTE Tamil Terrorists Leader Prabhakaran elevated to the status of a demi-God.
The extent of mis-information and blind faith that exists among those who hear, read and think only in Tamil has been highlighted by the recent news from the Sevugaraya Ayyanar temple in South Poigainallur village near Nagapattinam in South India.
Apparently, Prabhakaran, Tamil terrorists murderer of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians of Tamils, Sinhalese, Muslims, and Indians is raised to the level of a Guardian Deity, with the Pro-LTTE terrorists Periyar Dravida Kazhagam acting as the prime mover of this deification. Apparently, the Tamil Nadu police had moved rapidly and removed the statues. However, we can well ask what would happen when Jayalalitha recovers her full powers. Similarly what can happen if and when the Northern province in Sri Lanka is granted a full 13A+ constitution?
There have surely been some attempts to re-ignite the Maavir celebrations (of suicide killers) on 27th November, as was done during the time of the LTTE. The LTTE had cemeteries typical of Christian countries (often with empty graves). The statues to LTTE “hero-figures” like Thileepan, (a person who was suffering from cancer and was effectively converted into a human sacrifice in front of the Nallur temple) and other LTTE monuments are also missed by those who are still dreaming of the “invincible LTTE”.
In Europe there are no cemeteries to the slain Nazi fighters or worriers. An intense program of de-nazification was carried out after the fall of Hitler, while in Sri Lanka the old practice of pandering to separatist demands are mistakenly championed in the name of “reconciliation” by the anti-Sinhala Ranil and pro-minority Sirisena. The very people who remained silent or rejoiced openly when a whole host of Tamil leaders and intellectuals ranging from Amirthalingam to Kadirgamar were assassinated sided with the LTTE and acted as the LTTE mouthpiece. They are now the champions of human rights, reconciliation and good governance. Surely, reconciliation must commence with a condemnation of those events, as well as at least an apology from those who sided with the LTTE. They could express mitigating circumstance such as the mortal threat from the LTTE. However, no such sentiments have been expressed. Instead, the Chief Minister of the Northern province has accused every government since 1948 of genocide. Given that Mr. G. G. Ponnambalam came before Soulbury and accused the colonial government in Ceylon of discriminating against the Tamils, Mr. Wigneswaran could have included the British rulers of the time as those who began “the genocide of the Tamil people” in Sri Lanka! Of course, if the UNHRC-inquiry is to be done in affair manner, then those political leaders who colluded with the assassins of Amirthalingam, Kadirgamar and others have to be indicted as well.
The Sinhala reading public as well as the Urbanized southerners have always been oblivious of what is going on in the North, or in Tamil Nadu, because they do not know Tamil. They were even fooled by the name “The Federal party” while the true name of the challenger was “The Ilankai Thamil Arasu Kadchi”, viz., the Lanka Tamil Sovereignty party.
