Sinhaladeepa Jathika Peramuna Responded to Pro-LTTE NPC

The nationalist political party, Sinhaladeepa Jathika Peramun – SJP has responded to the pro-LTTE the National Peace Council (NPC) for their director’s recent newspaper article appeared in the Island Newspaper dated 08.02.2022 in the title of  “First step cannot be the last especially if reversed at the start”, by Jehan Perera. The director of the National Peace Council (NPC) states that Leonard Wolf, the British civil servant, who wrote” Village in the jungle” saw the newly independent country of Ceylon (or Sinhale) as a future Switzerland of the East if it found a way to share political power amongst its different ethnicities and regions in the way that Switzerland had.

However, SJP argues that  when about 75% of the Burgers and Tamils were the civil servants and military officers in 1956, then that was a plural society for the coup leaders of 1962. When the indigenous Sinhala Buddhists regain their rights, then that is Sinhala Buddhist dominance. The NPC with foreign funding was trying to divide the county during the 30 year LTTE terrorist war by propagating the idea that there should be a political solution with the LTTE Tamil terrorism. Had the LTTE won the war, Sri Lanka would have become a hell to live with and not the Switzerland of the East. If the Tamils were granted self-rule even now, the North would revert back to a society based on feudal cast system. The low cast Tamils would be treated like animals.

The full text of the statement issued by SJP is as follows:
