India is our friend, we are not against any country, remove the hindrance of ban: Pirapaharan
November 27th, 2008 Posted in UncategorizedThursday, 27 November 2008
While conveying his love and gratitude to the people and leaders of Tamil Nadu and leaders of India who have grasped the heartbeat of Eezham Tamils and have come forward with timely support, the LTTE leader V.Pirapaharan in his Hero’s Day speech on Thursday requested them to voice firmly for Tamil Eelam and to undertake conducive measures to remove the ban, a great hindrance to amicable relationship between India and the LTTE. “At no stage did we ever consider India as an enemy force. Our people always consider India as our friend. They have great expectations that the Indian super power will take a positive stand on our national question”, he said. The LTTE leader also requested the world powers to remove the ban on it, citing that the LTTE never schemed any act against any country and the Tamil struggle is not against the geopolitical, national or economic interests of any country.
“We are waging a defensive war for the freedom of our people,” the LTTE leader said.
“Even though the armed struggle was thrust on us by inevitable needs, yet we wish to stop the war and seek a peaceful resolution to the national question of our people. Our freedom movement is always ready for it. We are not opposed to a peaceful resolution. We have never hesitated to participate in peace talks.”

Talking on the modus operandi of the previous peace efforts, Mr. Pirapaharan said, “some countries which identified themselves as so-called Peace Sponsors, rushed into activities which impaired negotiations. They denigrated our freedom movement as a terrorist organisation. [..] Humanitarian activities pursued by our law-abiding people in many countries, well within the purview of the law of the land, have been belittled and curtailed. [...] humanitarian activities were branded as criminal activities in those countries. [...] This further aggravated the racist attitude of the Sinhala state.”
“In truth, this is not a war against the LTTE as the Sinhala state professes. This is a war against the Tamils; against the Tamil nation. In short, a genocidal war.”

“We are conducting this struggle with the unrelenting support of the Tamil people, the world over.”
“No great changes have taken place in the Sinhala political panorama. [...] In Sinhalam, from politicians to spiritual leaders, from journalists to ordinary people, their voice is raised only in support of the war.”
“The Sinhala nation is refusing to acknowledge the historic homeland of the Tamils. In such a situation, how will it offer a just solution to our people?”
“Even the tinge of hope our people had that the Sinhala nation will abandon its path of violence and offer justice, has now evaporated.”
“It is true Tamil Eelam is a small nation on the globe. However it is a nation with great potential. It is a nation with a characteristic individuality. It has a distinctive language, cultural heritage and history. Sinhalam seeks with its military might to destroy all these. It seeks to destroy Tamil sovereignty and replace it with Sinhala sovereignty. As the freedom movement of the people of Tamil Eelam we will never, ever allow Sinhala occupation or Sinhala domination of our homeland.”
The LTTE leader expressed a special note of affection and appreciation to the Tamil diaspora youth for their committed and active role in contributing towards the liberation of Tamils.

hi,
u say “than vinai thannai sudum” enru..aen indiakidda help kaedkireenga enru..you also say that you are having hard time forgetting Rajiv’s incident..
Here is how lots of tamils (or atleast how i )feel/talk:
We are not asking the Indian govenment to give money or food to our people..PLEASE STOP PROVIDING MILITORY SUPPORT,SATELLITE SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO SRILANKA. uthavi seiyaviddalum ubathiram seiyamal irunko. engalai vaala vidunko..
As for Rajiv gandi incident, everyone regrets it. We can understand the whole forgive and forget part.. WHEN INDIAN ARMY WAS IN SRILANKA, IT KILLED THOUSANDS OF TAMILS AND raped so many women(regardless of age), and stole our things..Indian, this is the reason why our people still scold indian govt. We too are having hard time forgiving and forgetting..if sonia ghandi is taking revenge for her husband’s death, what should we do..how abt the wives and kids of all those thousand ppl killed by the “peace keeping force”..hw abt the parents whose daughters commited suicide after armies raped them..how abt the kids whose parents were burnt alive in front of the eyes…
despite all this, we rspect ur country for giving equality to all the ethnics in india, for having a state system where a muslim tamil or qujarathi hindu can be prime minister, or punjabi man can be a president..
We want india to know that we have serious issues in srilanka..Srilanka is commiting mass murders..SO WE ARE ASKING THE INDIAN GOVERMENT NOT TO SUPPORT A SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE AGAINST THE TAMILS
You asked if ALL the tamils support our leader..DID YOU EVER SEE A LEADER GETTING 100% SUPPORT? even Ghandi didn’t have his own party support. We know that there are ppl against the LTTE. the reality is majority(democracy) of the people support them(this was proven in an election..the tamil party suppoerted by LTTE won abt 90% of the votes in all tamil areas)…we are not so blind sided to state that LTTE have no faults..as time passes, they changed over time..as a tamil who grew up in Tamil eelam, we know more abt them than rest of the world..thts why our ppl support them
soniyaku idhu lessona….romba kiddisha think panreenga rajan.indha electionla thothu porathuellam podhu vazhkaila sagajam pa..indha election pona adutha election.her aim is totally different electiona pathi ellam kavalaipada time irukathu ippa.
ana avaloda loss eppayo nadathudichu … ippa mathavanga life loss agudhu….
the previous post was response to the comment 2
idhavida oor ooraha poi pichcha kekkalame.podang neengalum unga kevalamketta iyakkamum
appa srilankan tamilians ellam india kitta en help kekaringa ippa?if we say wat u said ,back at u.(than vinnai thannai sudum) wat will be the response?naan appaidi solla virumbala.ltte panna thappuku appavinga enna pannuvanganu than as indians think panrom.
ana help kekumbothu polita kekanumnuthan namma kidsku kooda teach panrom.but some of u ask help from india but some of u scold us.
neenga enga country prime ministera blast pannathe engalala maraka mudiyala.we r slowly trying to forgive and forget that.but before entire population can do that some of u indiava thitareenga.
india freedom fightin bothu if the same situation happened ,ie)if for the head of any freedom fighter, innocent people was killed,enga freedom fighters wuld have sacrificed themselves for as less as 10 lives.by this i mean both who took ahimsa as well as weapons to fight.
we had(i meant in past tense) good leaders and we are proud abt our leaders.entire indaivum othukum idhai.
unga countryla do everyone support ur leader?naan indha forumlaye neraiya srilankan tamilians ltte thitti padichiruken…so before commenting abt our country unga countryla parthutu pesunga.
ippa indiala irukara politicians ellam politiciansa irukaanga (thank god they r not fighting for our freedom).so indha electionla thothu porathu ellam wont affect them .5 years kalichu parthukalamnu they all will b ready now.but naanga ellam satharana manushanga enga feelings ippidiyethan iruka pogudhu.u may think wat does it matter abt ordinary citizens view?same mistake pirabharan did by blasting our country PM.it took almost 20 years to use the word ltte in tamilnadu politics after the blasting.so that strong is our feelings.
indian unga ruling ellam unga country la irukanum…. mattavan naadila naadamai pannina ithuthan vithi….. Than vinai thanani sudum soniya ammaiyaruku intha election nalla lesson kodukkum… vinai vithaithavan vinai arukka thane venum….
Sonaiya god irukar…so ….
hey ,u go about killing that too blasted indias prime minister and ask to remove the ban on ltte.man u got lots of guts or u have amnesia to forget wat u did
