Loony left leader in the LTTE payroll
unrepresentative Nava Sama Samaja Party (NSSP) in Sri Lanka has undertaken an international campaign work for the LTTE. A leader who was born in the communist era and campaigned for decades for proletariat revolution in Sri Lanka is now compromising his ideological stand to campaign for the LTTE killer machine. Dr Karunaratne advocates that LTTE is a national liberation movement fighting a legitimate struggle against the oppressive state of Sri Lanka. The NSSP leader is currently touring the European countries. He addressed a meeting in Norway on February 24, 2007 and in his marathon running campaign work flew back from Oslo to London to make a key note address at a LTTE meeting on the same evening attended by the opposition British Lib- Dem parliamentarians. The meeting turned out to be a vote winning campaign meeting for the Lib-Dem that did not make any mileage to the LTTE cause. Dr Karunaratne?s speech in Oslo was relayed in the Vanni based Tamil National Television (TNT) of the LTTE. In his financially rewarding campaign work Dr Karunaratne has agreed not to speak about the NSSP members killed by the LTTE. The prominent of those killed was the NSSP member Comrade Annamalai who was gunned down in Jaffna in the late 1980?s. Killing of Comrade Annamalai was a campaign tool of NSSP against the LTTE for a long time. Dr Karunaratne and his party live a very meager financial existence. NSSP is considered as a passive talk shop which does not command major support anywhere in Sri Lanka to impact on the Sri Lankan politics. Their loony politics is not attractive even during popular left base campaigns in Sri Lanka. After living an abject living for a long time, struggling to espouse the workers rights, Dr Wickramabahu Karunaratna has now decided to jettison his ideological stand to make easy and quick bucks for rest of his life. His new honeymoon with the LTTE is taking him around the world which he or his party can ill afford. The deal struck by Dr Karunaratna is said to include personal financial benefits for him from the LTTE. He is also said to earn donations from the LTTE supporters during his campaign work for the LTTE. A full scale investigation of funding for his trip will confirm LTTE?s dirty money being used. Dr Wickramabhu Karunaratne is well looked after by the LTTE activists in London. |
