I think the Commonwealth should once again stand up for human rights and with Sri Lanka

In a discussion with Channel4 News, he said the 'mistake' (of inviting Rajapaksa) was not done by the Queen or Buckingham Palace, but by the Commonwealth. 'Action against Sri Lanka should have taken at the last Commonwealth Summit in Perth, Australia'.

The battle lines of coming events in the north and the south were drawn clearly in the thirties.
By mid-thirties Ponnambalam had emerged as the leading figure of Tamil communalism in the north. It was Bandaranaike who led the counter-movement against Ponnambalam in the south in the latter half of the thirties. These two key actors in the political arena crossed swords publicly over the provocative hate speech of Ponnambalam targeting the Sinhalese at Nawalapitiya. The Hindu Organ (p. 4 June 22, 1939), the voice of Jaffna Hindus in the first decades of the 20th century, headlined this politically significant story featuring the two key protagonists of the Nawalapitiya incident. The headline said: Mr. Ponnambalam s N pitiya speech followed by the strapline beneath it: Mr. Bandaranaike s challenge.
Ponnambalam s provocative, confrontational, derisive, divisive, communal politics came under heavy fire not only from the Sinhalese but also from Jaffna which, in the twenties and thirties, was constructively promoting national unity by decrying anti-communal politics. In its prophetic editorial titled, THE WRITING ON THE WALL, The Hindu Organ, (Ibid) said: ....A verbal bombshell dropped unwittingly by a Tamil politician at Nawalapitiya appears to have set the South on fire........A slander against a community by an individual, though unintended, is inexcusable....
In a preceding paragraph it said: Communal differences, though there existed hardly any during the time of the last generation of leaders, have now been multiplied and intensified, thanks to the hot-heads and irresponsible talkers in the country who care more for the plaudits of the mob than for the welfare of the people. Ceylon today is seething with petty problems which have been created by thoughtless gas-bags, and which threaten to poison the peaceful conditions in the country.... It concluded by saying: Let us hope that wise statesmanship will prevail among leaders who should realize the imperative need for the welding of the communities into a Ceylonese Community for the political and economic salvation of the country. The writing on the wall is too clear to be ignored.

Hate speeches
This editorial predicted the future accurately. After Ponnambalam launched his hate speeches and anti-Sinhala campaigns, loaded with the insane fury (Yalpana Vaipa Malai) of communalism, in the thirties, Jaffna politics never regained its balance. Instead it proceeded relentlessly rejecting multi-ethnic co-existence that was the only means for building lasting peace. The responsibility of steering Jaffna into irreversible and intransigent communalism that led to confrontations with the Sinhalese from time to time and finally to the Vadukoddai War should be placed squarely on the communal politics fathered by Ponnambalam. The rise of Ponnambalam on the wave of communalism he whipped up marks the beginning of the end of communal harmony that prevailed in Sri Lanka throughout millennia.
Bandaranaike who grasped the hidden realities of Ponnambalam s racist political agenda said, in inaugurating the branch of the Sinhala Maha Sabaha in Nawalapitiya shortly afterwards, that a statute of Ponnambalam should be erected in Nawalapitiya for helping him to open the branch of the Sinhala Maha Sabha.(ibid). In other words, he was saying that it was the provocative extremism of Ponnambalam that prompted the Sinhala people of Nawalapitiya to rally behind him. Clearly, one communalism was promoting the other. The Sinhala Maha Sabha which was established by Bandaranaike in 1936 did gather momentum in the thirties as a reaction to Ponnambalam s virulent anti-Sinhala hate speeches.
Apart from recognizing the legitimacy of the suppressed grass root forces to regain their lost heritage the politics of Bandaranaike was shaped by what he called the more and more rapacious demands of the Tamils (p.240 Jane Russell.) Here it should be noted that though the Tamil Mahajana Sabhai was established in 1921 the Sinhala Maha Jana Sabaha was not formed until 1936. This again contradicts the popular notion that it was Bandaranaike who was exploiting Sinhala communalism. On the contrary, his movement was a logical reaction to the rising waves of anti-Sinhala communalism from the north that was exacerbating the north-south relations. The offensive launched by Ponnambalam was aggressive and virulent. Bandaranaike was the most prominent leader of the southern elite to pick up the challenge of Ponnambalam with a counter Sinhala movement.

That's what I previously reported. An idiot in this forum tried to argue that Rajapakse Mahinda was invited by the Queen.

Inviting Rajapaksa was a mistake says RCS chief

Ponnambalam was bent on pursuing rabid racism and a ruthless casteism. He would not hesitate to exploit any issue to further his career with racist politics. For instance, when the thirties and the forties were still under the British colonial regime he never failed to blame everything that happened on the Sinhala government and not the British masters who were in overall command.
Example 1: The Marxists who led the General Strike of 1947 the biggest in colonial times - started marching from Kolonnawa to Colombo on June 5, 1947. Gov. Henry Monck-Mason Moore (Dr. Colvin R. de Silva called him
Monkey Mason Moore at a Galle Face meeting) rushed down from Kandy to deal with the emergency situation. Admiral Sir. Geoffrey Layton, Commander-in-Chief of the island, too was in Colombo. The State Council passed the controversial Public Security Act hurriedly to meet the challenge of the biggest ever strike. The march ended with Police opening fire and killing V. Kandasamy, a clerical servant in the pubic service. Kandasamy s body was sent by the night mail to his relatives in Jaffna. When the body arrived at the Jaffna station next morning Ponnambalam was there to denounce it as an act of the Sinhala government killing a Tamil. The Marxists organisers of the strike were blaming the British and their comprador bourgeoisie agents for the death of Kandasamy. Ponnambalam was blaming the Sinhala government at the Jaffna station.

The High Commission should have left the President to attend the Queen s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations as he was only officially invited for that purpose
