<p>
Representing the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, better known by the acronym LTTE, was Kumaran Pathmanathan or KP, the LTTE's chief arms procurement officer and head of the LTTE's international network. Pathmanathan has established a sophisticated and secretive arms acquisition network, whose ships frequently visit Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, South Africa, Burma, Turkey, France, Italy and Ukraine in their search for arms.

Nationalism and seld determination associated with persecution, descrimination, resurgence and all theseb allegationa and accusation are not new in the world.

Europe, Britain and USA went through all these and everything is well documented and well discusses.

Only the LTTE has to give tamils rights. Stupid tamil expatriates and brain washed tamils do not know that. For that also LTTE is to blame.

ONLY THE TAMILS HAVE TO GIVE SINHALA PEOPLE RIGHT PLACE IN THE SRI LANKAN SOCIETY. SINHALA PEOPLE ARE NOT At  FAULT FOR ANY OF THE ACCUSATIONS AND ALLEGATIONS.

If you put the things that way, Sinhala people also could blame Tamils in general for all the autrocities committed by the LTTE for example,
massacreing sinlahalese and muslim villagers in cluding elderly people, women, children toddlers
Attacking passemgers vehicles and killing civilians - habarana, aranthalawa
Ethnic cleancing in North
Killing and punishing anyone openly show different ideas to LTTE
Assasinating Political leaders including Rajiv, Kadir
 and many more to list.

Remember, tamil people have nothing to do with any of those autrocities committed by the LTTE.  Same as LTTE among tamils, there are lunetics among sinhalese and muslims.  Riots in 1956 and 1983 were orchestrated by opportunistic politicians and they were a minority among the Sinhalese comunity.  Sinhalese people did whatever they could to save innocent civilians.  I personelly know a sinhalese man being killed by angry tugs (belonged to the political party at that time) for trying to rescue a tamil man.  There may be stories unheard of in NE about tamils rescuing Sinhalese and Muslims from the LTTE.

Asian Tribune and Rival Tamil Group cooked up this story:

 "The Asia Tribune reported that three Tamil Nadu leaders on Friday flew on Malaysian flight No. MH181 from Chennai for Kuala Lumpur, the original venue for the meeting, but upon landing rival Sir Lankan Tamil group operatives photographed the trio at the airport. The subsequent publicity about their intention of collecting thadchchanai from the LTTE was publicized, forcing the meeting to be shifted to Bangkok.

When their intention was made known through an unexpected publicity in the media, the leaders and LTTE handlers were forced to cancel their closed-door scheduled meeting and change the venue to another country.

The rival Sri Lankan Tamil group communicated their information to the Indian Embassy and Thai government officials in Bangkok."

These guys never saw KP!.

Men go to Bankok for various other reasons.

AnuD,
First of all you go & learn & how to write your views in English in a way people can understand.
Then, learn to undrstand what the other person has written.
Before you advise others to read about world & politics, you find out fairness, justice etc. I doubt if you read about human values, justice, equality etc & if so, certainly not in English.
You call others "Narrow minded". But, you have never ever responded to the points others have raised. You always tend to blame the Tamils in general terms, but can never debate a specific point.
None of your comments in this forum has hardly ever been relating to the topic under discussion.
You have been calling people names a lot. That just shows who is narrow minded & incapable of debating sensibly.
Hope, you will grow up, before joining this forum again.

Wanni tigers meet Tamil Nadu politicians in Bangkok [09th January,2006 -
12:50 S.L.T) Leaders of Tamil Nadu political parties, Dr S Ramadoss -
Founder President of the Pattali Makkal Kadchchi, G K Mani - President of
the Pattali Makkal Kadchchi and R Thiumavalavan of the Dalith Panthers of
India and the Wanni tigers are scheduled to meet in Bangkok today. It is
reported that they will hold secret discussions behind close-doors.
It is learnt that the Tamil Nadu leaders are expected to collect 'offerings'
from the Wanni tigers for conducting protest demonstrations in Tamil Nadu.
Earlier when the two parties arrived at Kuala Lumpur on Friday 06, a rival
of Tamil group operatives photographed the three Tamil Nadu leaders at the
airport. Subsequent to this exposure the visitors cancelled the scheduled
close door meeting in Kuala Lumpur and changed the venue to Bangkok. This
was done in consultation with Vanni and close-door meeting was rescheduled
for Bangkok where K Pathmanathan alias KP - Wanni tigers' official arms
procurer holds sway.

Meanwhile Tamil Nadu politician Mr Vaiko of MDMK in the alliance is
pressurizing the Congress Government to cancel the planned defence agreement
with Sri Lanka. The Tamil parties at a joint meeting held a few days adopted
a resolution against military assistance to Colombo citing 'any military
help to Sri Lanka would harm the Tamils living in the island republic,
besides hurting the interests of the Tamils living all over the world".
However according to reports from New Delhi there will be no change in
Indian policy towards Sri Lanka. India has provided non-combatant military
hardware like radars and is to be continued. According to sources two radars
were supplied to Sri Lanka just before Mr Mahinda Rajapakse's visit to
India. The sources added that the bilateral relations between the two
countries are going to be on a sound footing strengthening the future ties.

Hi KRISHANTHY

One important reason why "SLS" people do not understand the SLT problem is that the SLT people are not doing a very good job describing what the problem is.  

Everyone knows that the Srilankan Tamils have suffered from 1956 onwards due to the government's policies.  There is no confusion about that (except for a handful of hopelessly ignorant Sinhalese).  However the question arises how to address Tamil grievances and to avoid further suffering for Tamils.  The Srilankan Tamils as a community have not given a clear, coherent answer to this important question.  The LTTE wants to create a separate state, and the Sinhalese oppose this for very good reasons.  It is very obvious that this "Tamileelam" will have no democracy and that the non-Tamils living there will be persecuted.  Also a separate Tamil state will be hostile to the rest of the island the same way that Pakistan is hostile to India.

With this in mind, some people have advocated "federalism" as a compromise solution.  Tamils in N & E will have more control over their affairs and will not face oppression by the Sinhala-dominated central govt.  The problem with this compromise federalist solution is that the Sinhalese do not know whether federalism will hold the country together, or whether it will be used to make separation easier, and the Tamils are not demanding a concrete solution which will assure the unity of the country under a federal system.  We have people like Prof. Sornarajah who openly admit that a confederation compromise will be used to separate the country.  When he says things like that, why should the Sinhalese agree to support devolution????????

It is very clear that for a federal system to hold a country together (as opposed to splitting it apart), it requires a very strong Constitution which will hold both the central government and provincial governments accountable to a set of common principles, such as democracy and human rights.  Unfortunately, the only person I'm aware of who has articulated this solution is Prof. Rohan Edrisinha who is a Sinhalese person.  I am yet to hear of a detailed solution offered by the Tamils other than the ISGA.  This is the reason why the "SLS" people do not understand the "SLT problem."

On a final note, I am very confused what "SLS" means.  The term "Srilankan Sinhalese" is a very foolish term as there are no Sinhalese outside Srilanka in significant numbers.
