Lord Naseby said that the creator, recruiter and organizer of Tamil child soldiers in Sri Lanka, Mrs. Adele Balasingham lives comfortably in Southern England.

"It was the Tamil Tigers who created, recruited several thousand child soldiers and put them in the frontline so they died first", he said.

Lord Naseby, the Chairman of the All Party British Sri Lanka Parliamentary Group, in a letter to British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg further said that the Tamil Tigers were a terrorist organization seeking an independent state Eelam. They followed no rules of war using suicide bombers with no warning, killing two Presidents, a Tamil Foreign Secretary and thousands of innocent civilians. "Tamil civilians who tried to escape were shot in the back by the Tamil Tigers. It was the same Tamil Tigers who refused to allow food and medicine convoys from the UN and the government to enter by road and then tried to sink the relief ships. Finally, they refused to surrender preferring to plant their heavy artillery next to the Field Hospitals", Lord Naseby noted.

Referring to the answer given by Deputy PM Clegg to Simon Hughes MP at the PM Questions on 16th May, Lord Naseby said, "You highlight alleged despicable government atrocities - presumably based on films like Channel 4 whose filming is challenged by many and we know the claim of 40,000 being killed in the last days is a total exaggeration. The UN in Country Team estimate 7,000 - 8,000 supported by analysis from the recent census and missing persons investigation."

"Your answer was not objective, not balanced, not accurate and appears to be aimed to give succor to those Tamil Diaspora, formerly LTTE supporters, who now campaign to blacken everything the democratically elected government of Sri Lanka does in an attempt to achieve Eelam by stealth. Frankly, you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself", he said.

JHU wants to mobilize masses
By a Staff Reporter

Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) Parliamentarian, Athuraliye Rathana Thera said, yesterday the government must be compelled to change its stand on the 13th Amendment to the Constitution through public mobilization.

Referring to the announcement made by Cabinet Spokesperson, Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, who confirmed on Wednesday (22) that the government would not be abolishing the 13th Amendment, and the strongly expressed views of the JHU calling for the abolishment of the same, Rathana Thera said, "We must mobilize the public to push the government toward changing their stand on the matter." JHU National Organizer, Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe, responding to the inquiries pertaining to his party's alliance with the government, considering the current differences of opinion regarding the 13th Amendment, said, "What Minister Yapa expressed was the stand of the government. It is our view the amendment should be abolished. This isn't a government-JHU problem."

Commenting further on the government's decision to go ahead with the Northern Provincial Council (NPC) Polls in September, he said, "The government so far has not discussed any of these matters with our party
Minister Yapa at the Cabinet briefing pointed out that only the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) can take a decision on the 13th Amendment, echoing President Mahinda Rajapaksa's sentiments.

Warnasinghe, when asked whether the JHU has planned to discuss the matter at the PSC, said, "Even though a PSC has been appointed, it has never been convened, with the United National Party (UNP) and the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) studiously avoiding it. If it is convened, then the problems of the North can be discussed. The reality is that it is never convened."

The National Freedom Front (NFF), headed by Minister Wimal Weerawansa is another government party which has expressed the need to abolish the 13th Amendment. NFF Member Piyasiri Wijenayake told Ceylon Today, "We have no qualms about the NPC polls, as long as the powers granted to Provincial Councils by the 13th Amendment are removed first."

‘Soldiers’ Welfare Membership Pays Dividends to Go for Mega Projects’- Commander
[Updated :: 2013-05-21 17:18:31 Hours || Home]

 Sri Lanka Army-managed ‘Lāya Leisure’ Hotel at Kukuleganga is to run one of its new outlets, now open in the new state-of-the-art mega cafeteria (awanhala) complex at Welipenna service area on E-1 Colombo-Galle Expressway.

The ceremonial opening of the new ‘Lāya Seafood Restaurant’ outlet by Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya, Commander of the Army, took place on Tuesday (21) morning during a brief ceremony as one more welfare wing of the Army where E-1 road-users are able to buy fresh meals at affordable price.

 
Sri Lanka Army in conformity with the government’s ongoing tourism promotion drive saw its widely used leisure outlets across the country be given a new exposure, facelift and modernization, bringing all of them recently under the brand name, ‘Lāya Beach’ (Wadduwa), ‘Lāya Leisure’ (Kukuleganga) and ‘Lāya Safari’ (Yala). Tuesday’s (21) opening of this seafood cafeteria is one more attempt in the same direction.
 
 
 
Chanting of Seth Pirith and lighting of the traditional oil lamp as symbols of blessings on the projectfollowed unveiling of the cafeteria’s signboard, ‘Lāya Seafood Restaurant’ as invitees looked on.
 
Talking to a section of media personnel, covering the event afterwards, Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya told them that numerous welfare projects, including this outlet, have been made possible due to welfare membership paid by each and every soldier soon after enlistment to the Army.


“Such welfare membership deposits, now matured as dividend payments which are managed by Directorate of Welfare in the Army enable us to go for mega welfare projects of exceptional nature, like Lāya Hotel ch ain, Ranaviru Apparels, Rehabilitation Centers, Ranaviru Resource Center, etc. The Army does not place any burden on Army personnel to fund or maintain such projects, either,” the Commander specified.

A gathering of senior officers and invitees attended the opening ceremony.

மத முரண்பாட்டுக்கு பெளத்தர்கள் காரணமானவர்கள் அல்ல: மகிந்த


மத முரண்பாட்டுக்கு பௌத்தர்கள் காரணமானவர்கள் இல்லை; ஜனாதிபதி

இலங்கையில் உள்ள பௌத்தர்கள் கடும்போக்காளர்கள் அல்ல. மத நல்லிணக்கத்தை சீர்குலைக்கவே சிலர் முயற்சிகளை மேற்கொள்கின்றனர் என ஜனாதிபதி மஹிந்த ராஜபக்ச தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

கண்டி தலதா மாளிகையில் நடைபெற்ற நிகழ்வு ஒன்றில் கலந்து கொண்டு உரையாற்றும்  போதே அவர் இதனைக் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார்.

அவர் மேலும் தெரிவிக்கையில்,
நாட்டில் உள்ள பௌத்தர்கள் கடும் போக்கானவர்கள் அல்ல. எனினும் சில அரச சார்பற்ற நிறுவனங்கள் மதத்தின் அடிப்படையில் நாட்டை சீர்குலைப்பதற்கான முயற்சிகளை மேற்கொண்டு வருகின்றனர்.

அத்துடன் பௌத்தர்கள் ஏனைய மதத்தவர்களைத் துன்புறுத்துவதாக குற்றம் சுமத்தப்படுகின்றது. எனினும் ஏனைய மத வழிபாட்டுத் தளங்களை அமைத்துக் கொள்ள பௌத்த விஹாரைகளுக்கு சொந்தமான காணிகளும் வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

இவ்வாறான செயற்பாடுகள் மூலம் பௌத்தர்கள் மத நல்லிணக்கத்தை ஏற்படுத்த முயற்சிகளை எடுத்து வருகின்றனர் என்பது வெளிப்படையாகும்.

நாட்டில் மத முரண்பாடுகள் கிடையாது, அவ்வாறு முரண்பாடுகள் ஏற்பட பௌத்தர்கள் இடமளிக்க மாட்டார்கள் என ஜனாதிபதி தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
