I am not a fan of KP the former terrorist but what he said makes sense. I wonder what the peelamists think about this?
The Tamil leadership had never been united to fulfil the political aspirations of the Tamils in the country. The Tamil people have been misled during the time of late Tamil leaders such as S.J.V. Chelvanayagam and G. G. Ponnambalam.
The US and India played a key role in defeating the LTTE. Whereas now both countries are adopting a strategy to see that the island nation is not going out of their control.
To find a settlement to the ethnic question in the country, the Tamil leadership should talk with the Lankan leadership instead of going behind India and America. Those two countries would keep on manipulating the Tamil leadership to safeguard their geo-political interests , Pathmanathan elaborated.
Commenting on the UNHRC sessions in Geneva Pathmanathan said that the resolution passed there was to pressurize Sri Lanka on implementing the LLRC recommendations. But I wonder how far it would help in solving the Tamil question , he said.
