It is very unfortunate that most countries and various organisations all over the world, without understanding the ground situation keep on asking the Government of Sri Lanka to stop the war and to start talks with the LTTE. The war must stop but there cannot be talks with the LTTE alone, said Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) leader V. Anandasangaree yesterday. Read the rest of this entry »

The News of the Tragic death of Rev. Fr. M. X. Karunaratnam comes to me as a great shock. This is not a death that anyone can rejoice at. His demise is a great loss to the country and to the people of the Vanni in particular. I have known Rev. Karunaratnam for a long time. He was a very good social worker and Human Rights Activist. I convey my deepest sympathies to all his kith and kin and Members of his congregation and also to all those who benefited by his services and to those who are now deprived of his service.

அன்புள்ள தம்பி,

வணக்கத்துக்குரிய எம். எக்ஸ் கருணாரட்ணம் போதகர் அவர்களுடைய அகால மரணம் எனக்கு அதிர்ச்சியை கொடுத்தது. இம் மரணம் மகிழ்ச்சியடையக்கூடிய ஒரு விடயமல்ல. இவருடைய திடீர் மரணம் நாட்டுக்கும் குறிப்பாக வன்னிப் பகுதி மக்களுக்கும் பேரிழப்பாகும். போதகர் கருணாரட்ணம் அவர்களை நான் பல காலம் நன்கறிவேன். அவர் சிறந்ததொரு சமூகத் தொண்டனும், ஒரு மனிதஉரிமைவாதியும் ஆவார். எனது ஆழ்ந்த அனுதாபத்தை அவரது உறவினர்கள், அவரது திருச்சபையை சேர்ந்தவர்கள், அவரால் நன்மையடைந்த மக்கள் அவரின் சேவையை பெற முடியாமல் போனவர்கள் ஆகியோருக்கு எனது அனுதாபத்தை தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன். இதோ ஓர் மனிதர் முட்டாள்தனமான செய்கையால் விழுந்து கிடக்கிறார். இவரைப் போன்ற இன்னுமொரு மனிதர் எப்போது பிறப்பார்.

This is not the first time I am appealing to the Tamil Nadu leaders to hold the scales evenly with regard to the Sri Lankan ethnic problem.

It appears to me as if some leaders of Tamil Nadu are not at all interested in finding a solution and are determined to obstruct attempts to find a solution, without helping to solve the problem. Read the rest of this entry »

TULF leader V. Anandasangaree said: The tragic news of the assassination of Hon. Jeyaraj Fernandopulle came as a rude shock to me. He was my good friend and onetime colleague of mine in Parliament. He was a very frank and out spoken person who expresses his views without mincing words. The fact that he had been repeatedly elected in a predominantly Buddhist constituency, although a catholic, goes to his credit showing to the world that he was loved and respected by all sections to the People in this country irrespective of one’s race or religion.
