Surely the East is awakening....new projects, new jobs, new hospitals.... hopefully tourism soon.
I hope even now the LTTE tamils will realise the ....
THE GREAT LIE OF TAMIL LIBERATION .
They said the fight is for freedom as tamil rights are violated
But
THEY gave tamils under the LTTE, only the right open mouth to eat, taken away all freedom know to man for 25yrs in LTTE areas, 500,000 fled tamil areas
They said that liberation was needed as tamil kids were discriminated at university entrance
But
THEY did not allow not only learning of alphabet but also the right to life of tamil kids. 8000 kids sacrificed and double that injured for life
They said tamil areas do not have good educational facilities
But
THEY killed principals, intellectuals, prevented universities functioning, kidnapped kids from school and only 10% of kids sit for exams
They said that they need to protect tamils
But
THEY killed more tamils, Northen and eastern tamils are killing each other
They said the dignity of tamils need to be preserved
But
THEIR actions have made that tamils are known as suicide bombers, criminals, drug runners, skimmers, gangsters all over the world
They said that tamils are economically discriminated
But
THEY never built a road, a hospital, a school, create jobs, or any thing despite collecting billions. In fact they even destroyed all industries such as Building material factory KKS, Asbastos P dduwan, Industrial estate Achchuveli, paranthan chemical, tile and Illmenite factoris , saltern at E. pass
They said that they are the sole representatives
But
THESE sole representatives even stole Tsunami money from tamils who lost every thing!
They said that the majority Sinhalese discriminated tamils
But
THEY being the majority of North East drove away all minority muslims in few hours
They said that they are to save tamils
But
THEY used 40,000 woman, elderly and kids tamils as human shields in Varakai who braved mud, rain, jungle, rivers to cross to govt. area
They said tamils are treated badly by GOSL
But
THEY despite collecting billions they haven t given a panadol or a grain of rice to long suffering tamils
They said tamils want freedom
But
More than 93% tamils in Batti voted for peace during last election, 500,000 tamils have fled to the south seeking peace
Tamils are lost in the ashes and the myths of Eelam |
