Canada accused Rathika backing the LTTE Tamil Terrorists
Canada’s public safety minister said he was “shocked and appalled” after a New Democratic Party MP rose in the House of Commons to commemorate Tamil Heroes Day, which honours fallen LTTE Tamil terrorists. Steven Blaney urged Rathika Sitsabaiesan, a Sri Lankan-born LTTE Tamil terrorist backed Canadian MP, to apologize “to veterans and all Canadians” for her statement that called the day “an important event” and likened it to Remembrance Day which is an important day of the Canadian society.
So called Tamil heroes day on 27th Nov. was created by the Tamil Tigers to mark the date the first LTTE member of the armed terrorist group was killed in combat by Sri Lankan forces. The terrorist leader Prabhakaran traditionally gave a defiant speech on that day celebrating his birthday guise of heroes’ day.
“Tamil heroes day is dedicated to the glorification of the terrorist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam LTTE, known more commonly as the Tamil Tigers,” said Mr. Blaney, pointing out the Tigers are on Canada’s list of designated terrorist entities.
“I am shocked and appalled that an NDP member of Parliament would not only endorse the celebration of terrorists, but would also equate it to the solemn occasion of Remembrance Day where we honour our fallen Canadian heroes.”
He called on Sitsabaiesan, the MP for Scarborough-Rouge River, “to stop shopping for votes from terrorist-linked groups, and to immediately apologize to veterans and all Canadians for these comments.”
Photographs of a LTTE terrorists’ heroes day event held Thursday in Markham, Ont., and posted on the Facebook page of the Tamil Youth Organization-Canada, showed the Tamil Tigers’ militaristic flag and visitors walking past a wall of portraits of men and women in LTTE terrorists uniforms despite of Rathika’s denying that she participated to a LTTE terrorist event.
During their three-decade LTTE terrorist war in Sri Lanka, the LTTE conducted hundreds of suicide bombings and assassinated moderate Tamil leaders as well as Rajiv Gandhi, the former Indian prime minister, Sri Lankan president R Premadasa, Tamil political leaders A Amirthaligam. Neelam Thiruchelvam, Lakshman Kadiragaman. Tamil terrorists were crushed by Sri Lankan forces in 2009.
Deepak Obhrai, a pro-LTTE Tamil terrorist Canadian MP; parliamentary secretary of foreign affairs and international human rights, said “ Rathika can’t compare Remembrance Day to Tamil Heroes Day” which is similar to Tamil terrorist day. The Calgary MP said it was “a disservice to veterans” to make such a parallel to LTTE Tamil terrorists.
“I think it needs to be pointed out to her that you can’t compare the two, you can’t compare a terrorist organization to people who have fought for core Canadian values,” he said.
