ltte said they did not kill Rajive but bala asking for mercy from the indian government for the assassination of Rajive


ltte was only a witness to the scene by filming the event knowingly or not knowingly.indian election and the Rajive's speech on his election manifest was quite important to ltte as colombo was gearing to get the US involved ,mean while blackmailing india .(premadasa).

it is a regrettable sad event took place in the history of tamileelam pushed india away from the suffering tamils. many need to understand that uncle bala is saying sorry not for the murder but for being a witness at the scene!!

Abdulsalaam,

Why Bala regretted for a loss of a leader of a great nation that too, our neighbour, was because it was alleged that a Tamil woman whose sister was raped by IPKF killed him.

What is impossible to comprehend is the fact that there was not even a remote chance of IPKF comming back under Mr Premadasa's regime. Why should LTTE kill Rajiv if he could not send IPKF even if he won that election and became the PM of India?

It's convenient to blame LTTE for each and every ill that happens not only in Sri Lanka but also in other parts of the world. Instead of stereotyping just think why there was no trial of the alleged assassin of Mr Kadirkamar? Because if the truth was uncovered the rouge elements of the army will be found guilty and the fabrigated lies that enabled the prorogation of LTTE would have back fired on the GoSL.

Nale,

Cool down my friend, any party that stands for justice and right will be the winner at the end. Just because IPKF did those atrocities we don't punish the PM of that big nation. So just stick to our argument that loss of Rajiv was a tragedy to his family and country we do not know who really killed him. There are many theories as in the case of the assassination of JF Kennedy. Sinhalese extremists wants to implicate LTTE to isolate it and return to the unrestrcted oppression of Tamils.
Just look at the losses suffered by both LTTE in particular and Tamils in general. We must show restraint and not deflect from our jstified goal.That's how diplomacy works. We are not a match to any country. We are just a minority with inadequate resources and means. Most of us support the cause to get out of the clutches of Sinhala leaders and to be in a position to mind our affairs.

You did not answer my question which was why should Bala say
we must put the past behind and move forward
?

He also referred to the assassination as a 'historical blunder'.

If, as you say, the so-called expression of regret was because 'it was alleged that a Tamil woman whose sister was raped by IPKF killed him.', isn't this a long 15 years late? Further, there is no question of 'putting the past behind' and no 'historical blunder' as far as LTTE was concerned.

In any case, whether Bala's statement amounts to LTTE acceptance of responsibility for Rajiv's murder or not makes little difference as Indian investigation has found LTTE responsible and sentence passed by Indian Court.

It may be that Bala's statement is elastic enough to be construed as acceptance of responsibility while leaving sufficient ambiguity about it. No wonder Karunanidhi commented that
what Balasingham said was unclear.


What is impossible to comprehend is the fact that there was not even a remote chance of IPKF comming back under Mr Premadasa's regime. Why should LTTE kill Rajiv if he could not send IPKF even if he won that election and became the PM of India?


Sorry mate, Rajiv's murder was for past actions, not for future remote possibilities. If you apply the simple and right logic, it is absolutely simple to comprehend.

Sintamus,
Personally,I wish Rajive is alive today.What I hate is that this Brahaminianits,who is in my opinion and that is the reallity too, doest not bother even wee bit about India's welfare but they only want to dominate and control that great country,even though they represent less than one percent of the population.They do not respect the other races in India.By hook or crook,these parasites have got power in the Indian establishment and using that to copntrol them by abusing those powers. The LTTE is the one which has challenged their power and refused to toe their line.That is why they hate them and come with all these fale propagandas against the 80million tamils in the world.

Nale,

I agree with your view of how Bramins control the governance of India. Isn't it true that a small ruling elite control Sri Lankan government and the press? The opinion polls and the election results indicate the masses want peace and reconciliation, all we get is hate and killings.

We have to live within the raalilities and parameters set by them. You can do 1000 good things but the moment any bad thing is done the whole establishment set up by these ruling elites get at your throat. So be vigilant and caucious all the time. Say what is right and do not allow these racists deflect from what you want to do.

I also fall into their trap sometime as it's human nature to react, but, we must learn to keep our head.

Why MR provokes LTTE is to get them do what he expected of them and call IC to proscribe them. LTTE has reacted to that killing of two youths in Nirveli by SLA assisted EPDP and civilians are paying with their lives. LTTE also got proscribed by EU. These set backs could be avoided if we keep our nurve and not deflect from your path.

Abdulsalaam,

By 'Putting the past behind' Bala might have meant that an awful lot of time was spent on the argument of who killed Rajiv and the subsequent repercussions, it's time now we move forward. Mind you it was an answer to a question, Bala did not make than statement voluntarily, if he did, you may be right in your interpretation. Also consider why he left room for all these interpretations instead of making the obvious admission and apologise for it.

Killing any PM by anyone/party is a historical blunder.

Can you answer a simple question, the answer to which may throw some light into the stereotype accusations we are accustomed to during the last 2 decades.

Q: If Mr SWRD Bandaranayake was killed after 1983 who would have been the obvious culprit?

Our experience of the police and judiciary is that Somarama Thero would not have seen the court room and an implanted cynide capsule at Temple Trees would have incriminated LTTE beyond any reasonable doubt.

Ok, Ok, Bala's statement is neither an apology nor an admission of guilt. He was talking in his sleep. It is just that the world is going yo yo whenever Bala or some one from LTTE make a statement. These statements are nothing more than a means to create confusion. Even when there is no confusion, there are enough and more LTTE apologists who will pounce on the statement/s to give different twists.

The message is clear. Never mind what LTTE says. What matters is what LTTE does. For LTTE NO to jaw jaw. YES to WAR.

Whither Sri Lanka?

Abdulsalaam,

You did not answer my direct question? Does it mean you agree with my conclusion that if SWRD B was murdered after 1983 LTTE would have been found guilty?

For LTTE NO to jaw jaw. YES to WAR.


This again does not seem to tally with events and facts.

There were communal riots and both Tamils and Muslims were attacked, killed and their properties destroyed from 1956 till 1983 without any provocation from LTTE or any other armed group.

From Feb 2002 till Dec 2, 2005 for a period of 4 years of CFA there was no war as such even at low intencity.

The present state of war resumed ONLy after Mr Mahinda Rajapakse was elected President on his extremist policy of 'untary state and no devolution' of any sort.

How can you say LTTE is for war and not for peace?

Can you point to any contructive suggestion or propasal that LTTE would have talked on to prevent the conflict. It was MR who was for war because it was started by those hardliners he appointed in key posts.

I didn't answer your question about the murder of SWRD because it didn't have any relevance to what we are discussing which is Bala's so-called apology. I am not really interested in going round in circles.

Seems I have to explain my comment
For LTTE NO to jaw jaw. YES to WAR.


An important statement by the top LTTE spokesman means different things to LTTE and others. That means LTTE says something and means something else and it is not possible to take LTTE's statements at face value. In other words, LTTE is not serious about what it says. If it is not serious about talks it is serious only about fighting. LTTE's history has been that, starting with the Indo Lanka Accord and ending with the CFA talks from which it unilaterlly pulled out in April 2003. In between there were talks with Premadasa and CBK and true to form LTTE aborted both talks.

You want to believe LTTE is for peace, go ahead and do so but don't expect others to be so naive.
