“The only democratic Tamil leader who has escaped his gun is the respected V. Anandasangari. There is a set of MPs who had formed the Tamil National Alliance. They are permitted to be alive because they are the puppets of Prabhakaran who carry out his orders”.

Today we publish the twelfth part of the serialisation of the book ‘Conflict Resolution Lessons for Sri Lanka’.

During the time the disturbances took place in the South in 1983 quotations from Dr. Hoole’s book illustrate as to how the Vellalar had treated people of low castes in the Northern Peninsula. (more…)

TULF calls on int’l community to help stop LTTE atrocities

President of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) V.Anandasangaree yesterday called on the international community to wakeup and condemn the atrocious acts of the LTTE with one voice and warn them to stop forthwith playing with innocent human lives.
Mr. Anandasangaree in a statement said:

“Two days after the assassination of Ms. Maheswary Velayuthan of the EPDP the LTTE has once again shown its atrocious face in the heart of Colombo. As usual Prabaharan has selected an innocent family to provide a suicide bomber for the games he plays and thoroughly enjoys. Once again it is somebody else’s brainwashed child he had sacrificed without any known protest either from the suicide bomber’s parents or from any one of the TNA Members of Parliament who are proxies of the LTTE but were elected by the people.

I am not asking the TNA Members to sacrifice their own children. My only worry is as to why they cannot lodge a strong protest against human sacrifices ordered by the LTTE. That is all I am asking I strongly condemn the LTTE for playing with human lives.

“Ten innocent people some of whom were police officers have died and over eighty-five seriously injured in the attack. How many more will die will not be known for a few days and by the time the exact figure is made known more incidents would have taken place. Every time such an incident takes place more and more widows, orphans and destitute persons are created. In addition several have lost their sight. Hands and limbs are lost.

All the sympathy such victims earn are forgotten sooner or later, but Prabaharan goes on and his people keep on glorifying him.

“How and when are we going to stop this madness? There is only one way by which we can stop this. Without waiting for some unpleasant incident to take place the international communities should wakeup and condemn these atrocious acts of the LTTE with one voice and warn them to stop playing with innocent human lives.

“The Government too without further delay should come out with a reasonable and acceptable solution, not due to the fear of the LTTE but to enable the international community to act positively without further delay.

The TULF expresses its deepest sympathies to the kith and kin and all the relations and friends of the unfortunate victims of this dastardly attack.”

TULF condemns Maheshwary killing: ” Maheshwary can be acclaimed as a heroic Tamil woman” - Anandasangaree

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

“I very strongly condemn the assassination of Maheshwary Velautham of the EPDP by the brutal LTTE. This is yet another act of cowardice by a terrorist group that claims to be a liberation movement, says V. Anandasangaree, President, Tamil United Liberation Front in a press release.

He said: “Maheshwary Velautham, a lawyer and a full time EPDP activist now, had been, as I know a very devoted social worker for well over thirty years.

Having given up her practice as a lawyer she worked most of the time with the refugees both in Sri Lanka and in India and with the downtrodden. Knowing her well and would describe as a harmless and a pious lady who loved her country and its people.” (more…)

The war must stop but there cannot be talks with the LTTE alone, said Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) leader V. Anandasangaree yesterday. (more…)
