You still haven't said where the Sri Lankan Gov. claimed that the capture of Kili was conquering the tamils, and that Sri Lanka is Sinhala land. Yes, you did post some article where similarities of the current conflict was drawn to a old conflict, but you have not shown where the SL Gov. have stated the above (as claimed by you earlier). You, in your racist, hate-filled head can conjure up these statements, but that doesn't mean that they have really been said by the Gov.
AussieBoy,
You still didn't answer the reason for that racist article on SL army website on the day of Victory celebration. Even a Child can understand the racist undertone of the article. But you are just playing with words.
The Sri Lankan Army General Sarath Fonseca said the following racist statement. He said the country belongs to the Sinhalese. The Tamils, Muslims and peace loving people around the world were shocked to hear that statement from the SL Army General. But no one from the Sri Lankan government condemned that statement or clarified the government's position to the minorities.
Do you think an Army commander of any country in the world can say such a racist comment and get away with it? The Sri Lankan government didn t even deny that statement. And you want the Tamils to trust such a racist Sinhala Buddhist Chauvinistic government eh!
Sinhalese can't hide their anti Tamil racism, everyone knows about it and every Tamil has experienced the brunt of Sinhala racism at least once in their life.
I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese but there are minority communities and we treat them like our people...We being the majority of the country, 75%, we will never give in and we have the right to protect this country...We are also a strong nation ... They can live in this country with us. But they must not try to, under the pretext of being a minority, demand undue things.
These sentiments, which General Fonseka has made public on several other occasions in interactions with local and international media, are cause for alarm in at least two respects. Firstly, the fact that the Commander of the Army feels free to represent his personal opinions and enter into public discussion about policy matters that are constitutionally the proper domain of the political executive, and indeed is allowed to do so repeatedly without any restraint by the political executive. Secondly, the highly contentious and insensitive nature of what is apparently an ideological perspective that is held by General Fonseka about the nature of the Sri Lankan polity, the political anatomy of the conflict in Sri Lanka, and the means of its resolution.
