"Final LLRC Commission report has made number of decisions that will direct the country towards genuine peace and unity".
The Archbishop of Colombo Rev. Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith speaking at the annual Christmas celebration said
RC Church welcomes LLRC report
The Catholic Church yesterday stressed that the voice of the people who had been caught in the conflict for more than 30 years, is clearly embedded in the final report of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) rather than in the report of the experts panel appointed by UN Secretary General
Ban Ki Moon.
According to Colombo Archbishop Rev. Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, all citizens, including Christians, have dual challenges ahead of them though the war is ended. "The country faces a challenge on how equality for all communities should be guaranteed in an environment where their dignity and identity is secured."
He said that the LLRC report will direct the country towards genuine peace and it was a document which is subjected to a wider dialogue in all quarters of the society.
"It portrays the opinions of a cross section of society." he said.
He was of the view that the commission itself represents all communities and religions. The Archbishop added that the final report of the Commission have made a number of decisions that will lead towards unity.
The Colombo Archbishop was speaking at the annual Christmas celebration which was held under the patronage of President Mahinda Rajapaksa at Temple Trees yesterday.
He said that the next challenges ahead of the people is to avert that kind of conflict on Sri Lankan soil again.
The Archbishop said that Sri Lankans can build a peaceful country if they shed all differences in terms of nationality and religion. He hinted that some international forces are operating to deprive the benefits gained by the people through hard won peace.

CPI Maoist Statement on the brutal murder of Comrade Mallojula Koteswara Rao (Kishanji), the beloved leader of the oppressed masses
Posted by Admin on November 28, 2011 COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)
CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Press Release November 25, 2011
Condemn the brutal murder of Comrade Mallojula Koteswara Rao, the beloved leader of the oppressed masses,the leader of Indian revolution and CPI (Maoist) Politburo member!
Observe protest week from November 29 to December 5 and 48-hour ‘Bharat Bandh’ on December 4-5!!
November 24, 2011 would remain a black day in the annals of Indian revolutionary movement’s history. The fascist Sonia-Manmohan-Pranab-Chidambaram-Jairam Ramesh ruling clique who have been raising a din that CPI (Maoist) is ‘the biggest internal security threat’, in collusion with West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, killed Comrade Mallojula Koteswara Rao after capturing him alive in a well planned conspiracy. This clique which had killed Comrade Azad, our party’s spokesperson on July 1, 2010 once again spread its dragnet and quenched its thirst for blood. Mamata Banerjee, who had shed crocodile’s tears over the murder of Comrade Azad before coming to power, while enacting the drama of talks on the one hand after assuming office, killed another topmost leader Comrade Koteswara Rao and thus displayed nakedly its anti-people and fascist facet. The central intelligence agencies and the killer intelligence agencies of West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh chased him in a well planned conspiracy and killed him in a cowardly manner in a joint operation and now spreading a concocted story of encounter. The central home secretary R.K. Singh even while lying that they do not know for certain who died in the encounter, has in the same breath announced that this is a big blow to the Maoist movement. Thus he nakedly gave away their conspiracy behind this killing. The oppressed people would definitely send to grave the exploiting ruling classes and their imperialist masters who are day dreaming that they could wipe out the Maoist party by killing the top leadership of the revolutionary movement.
Comrade Koteswara Rao, who is hugely popular as Prahlad, Ramji,Kishenji and Bimal inside the party and among the people, is one of the important leaders of the Indian revolutionary movement. The tireless warrior who never rested his gun while fighting for the liberation of the oppressed masses since the past 37 years and who has laid down his life for the sake of the ideology he believed in, was born in 1954 in Peddapally town of Karimnagar district of North Telangana, Andhra Pradesh. Raised by his father Late Venkataiah who was a freedom fighter and his mother Madhuramma, who has been of progressive views, Koteswara Rao imbibed love for his country and its oppressed masses since childhood. In 1969, he had participated in the historic separate Telangana movement while he was in his high school studies in Peddapally town. He joined the revolutionary movement with the inspiration of the glorious Naxalbari and Srikakulam movements while studying graduation in SRR college of Karimnagar. He started working as an active member of the Party from 1974. He spent some time in jail during the black period of the Emergency. After lifting up of the Emergency, he started working as a party organizer in his home district of Karimnagar. He responded to the “Go to Villages” campaign call of the party and developed relations with the peasantry by going to the villages. He was one of those who played a prominent role in the upsurge of peasant movement popular as ‘Jagityal Jaitrayatra’ (Victory March of Jagityal) in 1978. In this course, he was elected as the district committee member of the Adilabad-Karimnagar joint committee of the CPI (ML). In 1979 when this committee was divided into two district committees he became the secretary of the Karimnagar district committee. He participated in the Andhra Pradesh state 12th party conference, was elected to the AP state committee and took responsibilities as its secretary.
Up to 1985, as part of the AP state committee leadership he played a crucial role in spreading the movement all over the state and in developing the North Telangana movement which was advancing with guerilla zone perspective. He played a prominent role in expanding the movement to Dandakaranya (DK) and developing it. He was transferred to Dandakaranya in 1986 and took up responsibilities as a member of the Forest Committee. He led the guerilla squads and the people in Gadchiroli and Bastar areas of DK. In 1993 he was co-opted as a member into the Central Organizing Committee (COC).
From 1994 onwards he mainly worked to spread and develop the revolutionary movement in Eastern and Northern parts of India including West Bengal. Particularly his role in uniting the revolutionary forces which were scattered after the setback of the Naxalbari movement in West Bengal and in reviving the revolutionary movement there is extraordinary. He mingled deeply with the oppressed masses of Bengal and the various sections of the revolutionary camp, learnt Bangla language with determination and left an indelible mark in the hearts of the people there. He worked tirelessly in achieving unity with several revolutionary groups and in strengthening the party. Comrade Koteswara Rao was elected as a Central Committee (CC) member in the All India Special Conference of erstwhile CPI (ML) (People’s War) held in 1995. He strived for achieving unity between People’s War and Party Unity in 1998. In the Party Congress of erstwhile CPI (ML)(PW) held in 2001 he was once again elected into CC and Politburo. He took up responsibilities as the secretary of the North Regional Bureau (NRB) and led the revolutionary movements in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab states. Simultaneously he played a key role in the unity talks held between erstwhile PW and MCCI. He served as a member of the unified CC and Politburo formed after the merger of the two parties in 2004 and worked as a member of the Eastern Regional Bureau (ERB). He mainly concentrated on the state movement of West Bengal and continued as the spokesperson of the ERB.
Comrade Koteswara Rao played a prominent role in running party magazines and in the field of political education inside the party. He took part in running ‘Kranti’, ‘Errajenda’, ‘Jung’, ‘Prabhat’, ‘Vanguard’ and other party magazines. He had a special role to play in bringing out various revolutionary magazines in West Bengal. He wrote many theoretical and political articles in these magazines. He was a member of the Sub-Committee on Political Education (SCOPE) and played a prominent role in teaching Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to the party ranks. In the entire history of the party he played a memorable role in expanding the revolutionary movement, in enriching the party documents and in developing the movement. He participated in the Unity Congress-9th Congress of the party held in 2007 January, was elected as CC member once again and took responsibilities of Politburo member and member of the ERB.
The political guidance given by Comrade Koteswara Rao to the Singur and Nandigram people’s movements which erupted since 2007 against the anti-people and pro-corporate policies of the social fascist CPM government in West Bengal and particularly to the glorious upsurge of people’s rebellion in Lalgarh against police atrocities is prominent. He guided the West Bengal state committee and the party ranks to lead these movements and on the other hand conducted party propaganda through the media too with initiative. In 2009 when the Chidambaram clique tried to mislead the middle classes in the name of talks and ceasefire, he worked significantly in exposing it. He did enormous work in keeping aloft the importance of People’s War and in taking the revolutionary politics into the vast masses. This great revolutionary journey which went on for almost four decades came to an abrupt end on November 24, 2011.
Beloved People! Democrats!!
Do condemn this brutal murder. It is the conspiracy of the ruling classes to wipe out the revolutionary leadership and deprive the people of correct guidance and proletarian leadership. It is a known fact that the Maoist movement is the biggest hurdle to the big robbers and compradors who are stashing millions in Swiss banks by selling for peanuts the Jal, Jungle and Zameen of the country to the imperialist sharks. The multi-pronged, country-wide brutal offensive named Operation Green Hunt of the past two years is exactly serving this purpose. This cold-blooded murder is part of that. It is the duty of the patriots and freedom-loving people of the country to protect the revolutionary movement and its leadership like the pupil of their eye. It’s nothing but protecting the future of the country and that of the next generations.
Even at the age of 57, Com. Koteswara Rao led the hard life of a guerilla like a young man and had filled the cadres and people with great enthusiasm wherever he went. His life would particularly serve as a great inspiration to the younger generation. He studied and worked for hours together without rest and traveled great distances. He slept very little, led a simple life and was a hard worker. He used to mingle easily with people of all ages and with people who come from various social sections and fill them with revolutionary enthusiasm. No doubt, the martyrdom of Comrade Koteswara Rao is a great loss to the Indian revolutionary movement. But the people of our country are very great. It is the people and the people’s movements which gave birth to courageous and dedicated revolutionaries like Koteswara Rao. The workers and peasants and the revolutionaries who have imbibed the revolutionary spirit of Koteswara Rao right from Jagityal to Jungle Mahal and who have armed themselves with the revolutionary fragrance he spread all over the country would definitely lead the Indian New Democratic Revolution in a victory path. They would wipe out the imperialists and their lackey landlord and comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and their representatives like Sonia, Manmohan, Chidambaram and Mamata Banerjee.
Our CC is appealing to the people of the country to observe protest week from November 29 to December 5 and observe 48-hour ‘Bharat Bandh’ on December 4-5 in protest of the brutal murder of Comrade Koteswara Rao. We are appealing that they take up various programmes like holding meetings, rallies, dharnas, wearing black badges, road blocks etc protesting this murder. We are requesting that trains, roadways, commercial and educational institutions be closed and that all kinds of trade transactions be stopped as part of the ‘Bharat Bandh’ on December 4-5. However, we are exempting medical services from the Bandh.

Why Britain is moving closer to war with Iran-Yahoo News
Why Britain is moving closer to war with Iran
By Adam Parris-Long
Yahoo! News – 6 hours agoEmailPrint
Tensions with Iran are still rising after an irreparably damaging fortnight in which the British embassy in Tehran was stormed and an American drone was captured by Iranian troops.
Barack Obama has been given short shrift after requesting the return of the downed US drone, with Tehran unrepentant over the affair. “The American espionage drone is now Iran's property, and our country will decide what steps to take regarding it,” said Iranian defence minister Ahmad Vahidi. “Instead of apologising to the Iranian nation, it [US] is brazenly asking for the drone back.”
Diplomatic ties between London and Tehran are also in tatters after British representatives were pulled from the embassy in the aftermath of a violent protest by Iranian students. The attack came after the Treasury took the decision to cut all links with Iranian banks over concerns that they were involved with Tehran’s nuclear programme. Foreign secretary William Hague has promised “serious consequences” for the attack, with retaliatory actions as yet unseen.
With a war of words on two fronts, is Iran on a collision course with the West?
Nuclear issues
At the heart of the dispute are ongoing concerns over Iran’s nuclear intentions. Ironically the origins of the Tehran nuclear programme lie in a scheme devised by the US in 1953, called ‘Atoms for Peace’. President Eisenhower announced the plan to proliferate atomic energy across the globe, intended to be a noble act after the decimation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki seven years previously.
The Iranian Revolution of 1979 caused outrage in Washington as American diplomats were taken hostage by students in Tehran – effectively killing off Western cooperation for the nuclear project. Since that stage Iran has developed the programme extensively, resulting in the nation’s first nuclear reactor, which was opened for business in September. The programme has been eyed with intense suspicion from Western states, despite assertions from president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Iran is not seeking to create atomic weapons.
Mistrust between Ahmadinejad and the West is also key to the issue. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that there was “increasing concern” over the nuclear program in Tehran, with Washington calling Ahmadinejad’s peaceful claims “hollow”. The UK government is unequivocal over the programme, openly denouncing its potentially harmful impact.
George Osborne severed links to Iranian banks over links to "weaponised" nuclear programme.
When severing links to Iranian banks in November, Chancellor George Osborne said: "We're doing this because of international evidence that Iran's banks are involved in the development of Iran's weaponised military nuclear weapon programme. We're doing this to improve the security not just of the whole world, but the national security of the United Kingdom.”
Sparking a rampage on the British embassy, the mistrust has worsened already fractured UK-Iranian relations. In reality, although Hague has been urged to act on threats from Tehran, the potential for conflict lies with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
While attempting to discover whether the Iranian nuclear programme is “weaponised”, Western states have criticised Ahmadinejad without using direct action. The Iranian leader is now being looked at to re-open discussions over the nuclear issue and to quell any further internal provocation to the West in a bid to stop conflict that Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov called a “very serious mistake fraught with unpredictable consequences”.

A US drone captured by Iran is now the property of the Islamic republic,
Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi said Tuesday, dismissing a request by US President Barack Obama for its return.
"The American espionage drone is now Iran's property, and our country will decide what steps to take regarding it," Vahidi was quoted as saying by ISNA news agency.
"Instead of apologising to the Iranian nation, it (the United States) is brazenly asking for the drone back," Vahidi also said, according to another news agency, Mehr.
Iran "will not back down from defending the nation or its interests," Vahidi declared.
Obama on Monday acknowledged that Iran was holding the reconnaissance drone -- a bat-winged RQ-170 Sentinel -- by saying: "We've asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond."
Iran last week displayed on state television what it said was the drone. A lawmaker said the Islamic republic was unlocking the aircraft's software and was going to reverse-engineer the drone.
The foreign ministry in Tehran was similarly dismissive of Obama's request.
"It seems he (Obama) has forgotten that Iran's airspace was violated, spying operations were undertaken, international laws were violated and that Iran's internal affairs were interfered with," ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said told his regular media briefing, according to Fars news agency.
"Instead of an official apology and admitting to this violation, they are making this request," he said.
Iranian officials have said a Revolutionary Guards cyber-warfare unit had hacked the aircraft's controls and brought it down.
US officials have admitted anonymously that the drone was on a CIA spying mission over the Islamic republic when it was captured.
The head of Iran's parliamentary national security committee, Parviz Sorouri, said on Monday that Iran was in the "final stages" of decoding the drone's software and "our next action will be to reverse-engineer the aircraft."
Valihi added that Iran was "highly capable" of making drones and had already built some capable of reconnaissance and attack, according to ISNA.
Obama, who gave the first official US confirmation that the drone was in Iran's hands, shed no light on the plane's mission or why it failed to return to its base in Afghanistan.
"With respect to the drone inside of Iran, I'm not going to comment on intelligence matters that are classified," he said.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had expressed doubt that Iran would agree to give back the drone.
"Given Iran's behavior to date, we do not expect them to comply," Clinton told reporters at a Monday press conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague, with whom she discussed Iran.
Although the drone incident has handed Iran a propaganda coup, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta voiced scepticism that Tehran would gain much of a technological advantage from the aircraft.
"It's a little difficult to know just frankly how much they're going to be able to get from having obtained those parts," Panetta told reporters aboard a US military aircraft.
"I don't know the conditions of those parts. I don't know what state they're in."
Asked if Iran may have forced the plane down in a cyber-attack, Panetta said: "I don't know."
பாலசிங்கம் தேசத்தின் குரல் அல்ல துரோகத்தின் நிழலே!
அகசுயநிர்ணய உரிமை என்கிற அதிகாரப் பரவலாக்கத் திட்டத்தில் விடுதலைப் புலிகள் அமைப்புக்குள் சீர்குலைவுகளை ஏற்படுத்தி எரிக் சொல்ஹெயுமுடன் இணைந்து கருணாவை உடைத்து, கேபியை விலைக்கு வாங்கி தேசியத் தளபதி பிரபாகரனை யுத்தப் பிரபு என மாசுபடுத்தி விடுதலைப் புலிகள் இயக்கத்தின் அழிவுக்கும் முள்ளிவாய்க்கால் பிரளயத்துக்கும் காரணமான அன்ரன் பாலசிங்கம் தேசத்துரோகியே ஆகும்.
பிரபாகரன் அவர்கள் மரியாதையின் நிமித்தமும் அரசியல் சந்தர்ப்பவாதம் காரணமாகவும் பாலசிங்கத்துக்கு வழங்கிய ”தேசத்தின் குரல்” என்ற பட்டத்துக்கு அவர் தகுதியோ பொறுப்போ உடையவர் என்று நிரூபிக்கவில்லை. நோர்வே பேச்சுவார்த்தை ஆரம்பித்த காலம் முதலே நாம் பாலசிங்கத்தின் வழி நாசத்துக்கு இட்டுச் செல்லும் என சுட்டிக் காட்டி விமர்சித்து வந்தோம்.ஆனால் இன்று நோர்வே ஆய்வறிக்கை வெளிவந்த பின்னர் அன்று நாம் அனுமானித்த பல்வேறு உண்மைகளை இவ்வறிக்கை ஆதாரப்படுத்திய பின்னரும் அன்ரன் பாலசிங்கத்துக்கு ஐந்தாம் ஆண்டு நினைவு விழா எடுப்பவர்கள் மாண்ட நம் மக்களையும் மாவீரத் தோழர்களையும் தேசியத் தளபதி மேதகு பிரபாகரன் அவர்களையும் இழிவுபடுத்துபவரே ஆவர். அது மட்டுமல்ல பாலசிங்கத்தின் துரோகத்தை மூடிமறைப்பவர்கள் அத்துரோகத்துக்குத் துணைபோவதுடன் தாமும் தொடர்ந்து தமிழீழத்திற்கு துரோகம் இழைக்கின்றனர்.
படியுங்கள்! பரப்புங்கள்!

வன்னி விவசாயிகள் பிரச்சனை குறித்து சிறீதரன் பா.உ முறையீடு
கிளிநொச்சி மாவட்டத்தில் அமைந்துள்ள பன்னங்கட்டி கிராமத்தில் தனியார் ஒருவருக்கு சொந்தமான 100 ஏக்கர் காணி உள்ளது. இங்கு குடியிருந்த மக்கள் விவசாயம் செய்து வாழ்க்கை நடத்தி வந்தனர். ஆனால், இக் காணியில் 60 வீத மானவற்றை தற்போது இராணுவத்தினரும் அரச கட்சியொன்றைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களும் ஆக்கிரமித்துள்ளனர். அத்துடன் இக் காணியை வெளியாட்களுக்கு விற்கும் முயற்சிகளும் இடம்பெறுகின்றன.
எனவே இக் காணியை இராணுவத்தினரின் ஆக்கிரமிப்பிலிருந்து விடுவித்து விவசாய செய்கைக்காக அங்கு குடியிருந்த மக்களிடம் வழங்க வேண்டும்.
வன்னி மாவட்டத்தைப் பொறுத்த வரையில் குளங்களை நம்பியே விவசாய செய்கைகள் இடம்பெறுகின்றன. ஆனால், இக் குளங்களில் பல நீண்டகாலமாக அபிவிருத்தியோ புனரமைப்போ செய்யப்படாமல் உள்ளன.
எனவே இக் குளங்களை அபிவிருத்தி செய்து விவசாய செய்கையை ஊக்குவிக்க நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும்.
நாம் சபைக்குள் வரும் போது நீர் வழங்கல் வடிகாலமைப்பு அமைச்சு சார்பாக எமக்கு அவர்களின் தயாரிப்பான தண்ணீர் போத்தல்கள் வழங்கப்பட்டன. இது வரவேற்கத்தக்க விடயம் .
ஆனால், அடுத்த தடவை வரவுசெலவுத் திட்டம் சமர்ப்பிக்கப்பட்டு நீர் வழங்கல், வடிகாலமைப்பு அமைச்சின் விவாதம் நடக்கும் போது எமக்கு தமிழ்க் கலாசார முறைப்படி பித்தளைச் செம்புகளில் தண்ணீர் வழங்க அமைச்சர் தினேஷ் குணவர்தன நடிவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும்.
இன்று இரணைமடுக் குளத்திலிருந்து பாரிய குடிநீர் விநியோகத்திட்டம் ஆரம்பிக்கப்படவுள்ளது.
அதேவேளை இந்த இரணைமடுக் குளத்திற்கருகில் இலங்கை விமானப் படையின் விமானத்தளம் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்த விமானத் தளத்தில் "மிக்ரு' போர் விமானங்கள் வந்திறங்கிச் செல்கின்றன. இந்த "மிக்' விமானங்கள் வந்திறங்கிச் செல்வதால் ஏற்படும் அதிர்வுகளினால் இரணைமடுக் குளத்தின் அணைக்கட்டுகளில் வெடிப்புகள் ஏற்படும் ஆபத்துள்ளது. இதனால் இரணைமடுக் குளம் உடைப்பெடுக்குமாக விருந்தால் பேராபத்து ஏற்படும்.
எனவே இரணைமடுக் குளத்திற்கருகில் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள விமானத் தளத்தை அகற்றுமாறு கோருகின்றோம்.
