Berty,
i've put forward this simple incident to illustrate that ones own views could colour the truth. May be the example is to naive for your taste. But the reality is that Tamil have exagarated the discrimination issue out or proposion. My take is that in any country zero tollarance against descrimination should be the norm. But you need to understand that descrimination happen not only to Tamils for them being Tamils but there is descrimination against the poor, people form less privilaged schools, due to lack of English fluency, cast etc etc...
So the policy of the government should zero tolarance of all these form of descrimination. And there should be an authority to deal with them sternly and properly.
If you could give me some pointers where actually Tamil community at large has been purposly and racially descriminated would most appreciate. |

Now they are ready for that like DOGS WITH TAILS IN ASS.
Guess what?
It's GOSL that claims LTTE want to talk!
LTTE believed in talks once and stabbed on the back.
Talks are only side orders for either party now. |

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka said on Sunday it had received an offer of peace talks with Tamil Tiger rebels and was keen to oblige after the first ground fighting and heaviest violence since a 2002 ceasefire.
Head of the government's peace secretariat Palitha Kohona said the offer was received through truce monitors on Friday, shortly before fighting erupted on the northern Jaffna peninsula. There had been no contact since, he said.
'A message was received that the Tigers offered peace talks,' he told Reuters. 'We accepted. The Tigers also wanted to know if there were any conditions. We said there would be no conditions but since then there had been no response.'

Tamil Tigers Seek Renewed Peace Talks
World Video
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) -- A senior government official said Sunday that Tamil Tiger rebels have offered to renew peace talks after weeks of fighting that brought Sri Lanka close to renewing its civil war.
The offer by the rebels was conveyed through a Nordic cease-fire monitoring mission and has been accepted by the government, said Palitha Kohona, chief of the Sri Lankan government's peace secretariat.
Officials were waiting for word from Tigers so that a time and place for the talks could be set, he said.

INDIA WILL NOT RECONSIDER BAN ON LTTE
13 Aug 2006 - 12:53
The LTTE is troubled greatly by the ban imposed on them by India, USA, UK, Canada, Malaysia and the European Union (EU) countries and has used all available resources to get the ban 'lifted'. The EU consists of 25 countries with a population of 462,371,237 or 7.1% of the world's population estimated at 6,499,692,060. India has over 1.3 billion people. The People's Republic of China also has a population over 1.4 billion and the LTTE has zero tolerance for their organization in Russia and most of the African countries which is more than half the world's total population.
The ban has affected the Tamils living in these and other countries as most of them have the LTTE under surveillance. The ban has affected the LTTE organization which is the reason for them to make every effort to get the ban lifted so that they can continue the extortion of Tamils using threats and reprisals against them or their kith and kin. They have also lost confidence in themselves as they are liable to be questioned about terrorist links.
Recently LTTE spokesman Anton Balasingham made a veiled apology to India to 'forget the past ' referring to their involvement in the assassination of the late Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. . Balasingham is not much heard of since. The LTTE spokesman for Trincomalee, Ilanchelian stated that they closed the Mavil Aru sluice gates on 20th in protest of the ban by the EU countries without considering that the closure of the sluice gates deprive drinking water to over 15,000 families in the area, besides water for irrigating over 30,000 acres of paddy fields. These reservoirs and sluices were constructed to provide water to the thirsty paddy fields so that the people will not starve as their staple crop is paddy which needs water. These paddy fields in the 'Dry zone' can be cultivated during the dry season only with irrigation controlled by sluices gates which can be opened or closed. Water is mandatory at this time of year due to drought and until the sluice gates were opened by the Security Forces on August 8th. The harvest for this season by then was already ruined. The villagers will be compensated by the government so that they will not be indebted to unscrupulous money lenders resulting in their financial ruin or starve.
The Tiger terrorists have failed to persuade either India or the EU to lift the ban. The Indian National Security Adviser, Mr .M.K.Narayan visiting Chennai on the 9th made it clear that the Government of India would not directly involve in the peace process in Sri Lanka: 'But we are using all persuasion'. Asked if the 'centre' had any second thoughts on the ban on the LTTE in the light of Mr Karunanidhi's remark that the issue is 'debatable' he said' I don't think the Center has any doubt on the ban on the LTTE .We regard the LTTE as a dangerous organization and hence the ban is on it' . |
