Karuna a fresh comeback into politics

Bestowing ‘Karuna’ to the tamils
By Arthur Wamanan -

Feb 18, 2017

Former Tamil Tiger renegade, ex-minister and onetime vice president of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Vinayagamurthi Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman made a fresh comeback into politics on February 11 when he launched the Tamil United Freedom Front (TUFF).

Speaking to the Nation, he explained the need for a fresh political force to represent the Tamils and accused the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) of being pre-occupied with internal strife
while ignoring the welfare of the people.

Q. You have launched a new political party. What is the reason behind this move of yours?

 If you look at the situation at the moment. There is a political void created in terms of Tamil politics. The Tamil people in the North and East pinned their hopes on the TNA that they would work towards a durable solution for their problems. They thought that the TNA would work, discuss with the government and reach the solution. However, this has not happened.

First they said that a solution would be reached in 100 days. Then they said a solution would be reached within 2016. But nothing happened. The people were left to fend for themselves.

People do not know where the TNA stands. They do not say anything when the government presents any proposals. At the same time they do not oppose them also. They are not active among the people.
Therefore, I feel that the Tamils have been betrayed. They need a proper leadership. That is why I decided to step up and form the party.  This move was made after discussing with the people of the North and East, Tamils abroad and several Tamil and Sinhala leaders. My aim is to represent the people, especially the Tamil speaking people of the North and the East.
 
Q. Do you say that the TNA is losing its stand among the Tamils of this country?

 Of course yes. The ‘Eluga Tamil’ (Tamils Arise) event is a good example of this. I am supportive of the event because the demands are justifiable. However, the event was used as a platform to slander other TNA politicians. The Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran levelled allegations against Opposition Leader R. Sampanthan and MP M.A. Sumanthiran. You have Wigneswaran going in one direction while Sampanthan is going in another.Even during the recent event in Batticaloa, the Chief Minister levelled allegations against Sampanthan. You do not have to bring the families of the disappeared and make them stand there while you level accusations against fellow party members. The TNA only publicized its internal rifts while ignoring the focus of that event. The truth is that the TNA is losing its way.

Q. You pointed out the various conflicting stances within the TNA. In addition, there are those who still maintain very extremist positions with regard to the national question. How are you going to bring them towards an agreeable stance?

 The whole idea of extremism, armed struggle and similar approaches will not work now. The concept of globalization has changed everything. Countries like India and China have
changed several of their policies over the years. Unfortunately there are groups who try to trigger the people by holding onto sentiments of armed struggle and war. This is unfortunate. They should understand the reality and move forward. The people should also understand this.
Look at the Muslim leaders. They are leading their people in a democratic manner. But the Tamil leaders have failed in this.

Q. You say that you want to fill the void created by the TNA. Don’t you think that your party would create more divisions among the Tamils and Tamil politics?

 I disagree with that view completely. First of all, there are rumours being spread that we are a shadow party of the former president. That is completely false.We formed the party based on our previous experiences while being part of a national political party. When you are a member of a national political party, you have to conform to its ideologies. You cannot go against its policy framework. It is difficult to speak out for Tamils while being in a national party. That is why we have moved out from the party and established a separate political outfit to represent the Tamils.

Secondly, I do not believe that our entry into the political arena would create further divisions among the Tamil political leadership. In fact, there are several politicians and academics who are fed up of the current situation and are willing to join hands with us. The Tamil United Freedom Front will be a party that would unite people.

Q. You have supported the merger of the North and the East. Do you think that the merger would solve the problem?

 The North and the East is considered the homeland of the Tamils. Even the 13th Amendment to the Constitution recognizes this. Therefore, a solution should be based on this. That should be the focus. It could be based on a federal model, or something more advanced. However, we will officially publicise our stance once we conduct our inaugural central committee meeting. We have made only one appointment to the party. We have appointed Kamalaraj as the Secretary. The rest of the party will be decided later.

We have discussed about registering our party with the Elections Commission. They have requested us to submit the relevant documents. Once that is done, we will have our central
committee meeting after which our party policy. The Policy is now being drafted. However, the policy will be in line with what I speak now.The people who were affected by the war in both provinces deserve a permanent solution.

Q. But the Muslims in the East have opposed the merger of the provinces due to the fear that their numbers would reduce further. Don’t you think the merger would strain the relationship between the two communities?

 You are right. There is a fear among the Muslim community that they would become a minority of the minorities if the provinces are merged. The fear is also there among the Sinhalese who live in the East. However, I don’t think they should be worried about this. This will not be a big issue if you look at the bigger picture.

The Muslim leaders should also understand that both provinces could be developed if they are merged. The provinces can only gain strength if the Tamils and Muslims unite. The two
communities should unite if we are to move forward. There is no question about that. The merger will be for the betterment of all Tamil-speaking people, whether they are Tamils or Muslims.

However, we should convey this message to the Sinhalese leaders in the proper manner. We should discuss this matter in the appropriate manner and try to convince them.

Q. Are you confident that you can convince them?

Of course I can. I had been involved in the armed struggle for 30 years. I have also travelled around the world for negotiations on behalf of the Tamil people. In addition, I was the Vice President of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). I was also in Parliament for a number of years. I have developed and maintained cordial relationships with ministers and politicians representing all the communities, as well as international political leaders. So we have to use this opportunity. I am sure that I can convince them.

Q. Are you willing to work with the TNA?

 We are open for discussions with all political parties including the TNA. As I said before, we are trying to accommodate the views that are beneficial for the people. Therefore we need
to discuss with all the parties.

Making the North East merger is difficult at this stage. Indian Foreign Secretary

Indian Foreign Secretary Jaishankar urges Tamil National Alliance to unite to fight for Tamils’ rights

COLOMBO: Indian Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar has urged the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) to unite to fight for the Tamils’ rights, including their rights under the proposed constitution, and cooperate with India in the economic development of the Tamil-speaking Northern and Eastern Provinces.

Meeting the TNA top brass ahead of his meetings with the Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe here on Monday, Jaishankar asked the Tamil leadership about their concerns so that he could take them up with the Sri Lankan government leaders.

The TNA delegation, comprising R.Sampanthan, Mavai Senathirajah, M.A.Sumanthiran, D.Siddharthan and Selvam Adaikalanathan, pointed out that the government is dragging its feet on drafting the new constitution though all the committees have submitted their reports and even the apex Steering Committee headed by the Prime Minister has circulated a draft report.

The TNA charged that at this penultimate stage, the ruling Sirisena faction of the Sri  Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP-S) suddenly said that it wanted the Steering Committee’ draft report to be revised. And President Sirisena had gone along with them bringing the whole process to a grinding halt.

The TNA also pointed out that the Sirisena-Wickremesinghe government has not fulfilled any of the promises which it said it would fulfill in the first 100 days of office. Very little of the lands seized by the military has been handed back to its original civilian owners; no concrete steps have been taken to trace the disappeared;  political prisoners are still languishing in jails; and the Northern and Eastern Provinces are yet to be merged to form a single Tamil-speaking province as per the India-Sri Lanka Accord of 1987.

The Tamil leaders also complained that the Tamils of the North are going jobless because companies from South Sri Lanka bring labor from the South.

Responding to this, Jaishankar promised to take up these issues with the Sri Lankan leaders later in the day, but urged the TNA leaders to be united, as unity is necessary to achieve the collective aims of the Tamil people. He urged unity because factionalism has crept into the Tamil camp, both within and outside the TNA.

The TNA is divided between the C.V.Wigneswaran faction and the Sampanthan faction, with Wigneswaran floating a separate outfit – the Tamil Peoples’ Council. The Eelam Peoples’ Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) led by Suresh Premachandran is against the Ilankai Tamil Arausu Katchi (ITAK) led by R.Sampanthan and M.A.Sumnthiran. Within the ITAK itself there are radicals and moderates.
  
When agitations or demonstrations are organized, factionalism comes to the fore, damaging Tamil unity. Even the attitude to India varies depending on the faction a person belongs to. While the Sampanthan-Sumanthiran group is seen as pro-India and the Wigneswaran group is seen as being wary about the giant neighbor and depending more on the West and the West-based Diaspora.

When Suresh Premachandran raised the issue of the re-merger of the Northern and Eastern Provinces, and declared that the Tamils will not accept any constitutional set-up without a merged North and East, Jaishankar said that while it is true that the merger is part of the India-Sri Lanka Accord of 1987, much water has flowed under the bridge since then, making the merger difficult at this stage. He urged the TNA to search for points of agreement with the Sri Lankan government rather than hold an overall settlement hostage to the merger issue. From time to time history provides windows of opportunity, which, if not utilized,  could result in the Tamils not getting anything at the end.

When Premachandran asked if India could not compel the Sri Lankan government to implement the 1987 Accord, Jaishankar said that the Accord cannot be implemented unilaterally. He recalled that the LTTE had killed Rajiv Gandhi to derail the Accord. The Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF), had also lambasted the Accord. The LTTE saw to it that Mahinda Rajapaksa, an opponent of the Accord, was elected President in 2005 with results for the Tamils, too well known to be repeated.

On the issue of joblessness in the Tamil-speaking North and East, Jaishankar said that India is keen on taking up development projects there and promoting those  areas as destinations for Indian investment. He appealed to the TNA to cooperate with India in this endeavor.

When he made this request, the Indian Foreign Secretary, had, at the back of his mind, a top TNA leader’s opposition to the Indian coal fired power plant at Sampur in the Eastern Province. The Sri Lankan government had cited this leader’s objection as one of the reasons for asking New Delhi to cancel the project when it was about to be launched.

‘He was not a traitor’

By 2017-02-19
By Sulochana Ramiah Mohan

With the sea of information we have received through media and books about the LTTE and the 30-year-long war, the man called 'Mahaththaya' captured the attention of all as he was given a Sinhala name unlike the rest of the Tamil Tiger fighters. While top Eastern Commander like Karuna Amman had a narrow escape from death at the hands of Prabhakaran, Mahaththaya was the only top leader who was not so fortunate. He was tortured and killed by his best buddy Prabhakaran who suspected that he worked closely with the Indian Intelligence RAW. His widow Yogeshwari who lives in the North claims that Mahaththaya was a man of substance too like the 'Thalaivar' and he could have written a different story if he was alive. She says, "My husband was never a traitor because he loved his people and I am angry that he was named so and was killed at the end."

Yogeshwari did not expect Ceylon Today writer and the photographer to walk into her garden. She was after a bath and was drying her wet curly hair, standing in the sunlight. Round faced and with sparkling eyes, she has not lost her allure. She is still attractive and no doubt Mahaththaya had set his eyes on this right choice.

Standing in front of the house, she smiled as she saw the two strangers walking towards her.
When we were introduced, she was reluctant to talk to us and was camera shy too. However, she took courage to share some thoughts about her husband, who is no longer a part of her life.

Gopalaswamy Mahendraraja alias Mahaththaya was a top LTTE leader and Yogeshwari was his beloved wife. According to the book Inside an Elusive Mind by M.R. Narayan Swamy, the name Mahaththaya was given to him when a Sinhalese was abducted by the LTTE fell at his feet begging for mercy crying mahaththaya, mahaththaya.

There were smiles and moments of sorrow as she spoke of the man with whom she spent six years of her life.

"I have not entertained any press people and they were hovering around this place for many years but, here I am, speaking to you," she said.

"I had closed my mind to that chapter of my life because it is not a good story," she revealed.
Mahaththaya was born in 1956 and Yogeshwari in 1959. She is second in the family of seven children. She was staying at home after completing her G.C.E. Ordinary Level exam. At that time she used to see Mahaththaya walk past her house several times and one day their eyes met.

It was love at first sight for her because she had heard him to be a kind-hearted and a friendly man, who loved to chat with anyone who greeted him.

Messages of love

Mahaththaya, like any other young man, had been sending messages and love notes to her through his 'boys'. At the age of 17 Mahaththaya joined the movement and was a prominent fighter.
Finally, Mahaththaya walked into the house and proposed to her.

"There was no commotion about it. My parents said nothing. I suppose because his character was well known in town." Their wedding took place in Jaffna followed by a small ceremony and Prabhakaran blessed them for a 'long happy married life'.

Prabhakaran blessed Maththaiya  family  for a 'long happy married life'.

Mahaththaya looked very much like Prabhakaran and were of the same height too. Both of them used to visit her house for meals and everything was good at that time.

Yogeshwari never feared that her husband, whom she married on 3 November 1986, would die at the hand of his best buddy.

She recalled how Mahaththaya used to celebrate everyone's birthday including his.

"There was laughter in the house in Valvettithurai, Jaffna when he was there. I bore three children for him and they were his bundles of joy. He used to be at home during any break. Of course, there were a couple of times he used to stay away but he made it a point to come home."

Yogeshwari recalled the day he was asked to meet the 'Thalaivar'.

"Around 4:30 in the morning of 3 August 1993, a group of LTTE boys came and knocked on the door. He was fast asleep.

'Thalaivar wants you,' was the call from the boys who were standing in the dark. The command came from the chief, so he immediately left. He was in his sarong and shirt, and rushed to the main entrance where the jeep was waiting for him."

Yogeshwari recalled, "He looked at me and said, 'take care of the children I'll be back soon' and those were his last words."

Yogeshwari's youngest girl child was just 10 months old, when he left the house for the last time.
"I had this gut feeling that something was going to happen to him because he was never summoned to meet Prabhakaran in this manner."

"Did you hear about what happened to him before that?"

"I did not know what was going on but he used to be sulky at times. He never had the habit of telling me about LTTE activities. He never discussed anything with me and I was busy with the children."
Yogeshwari said she was not the type that complained and argued.

At the time they met, Mahaththaya was Lieutenant Colonel but later on he was the second in command. "This of course I knew."

"Mahaththaya was worried about the boys when they got injured. He used to tell me about them."
Mahaththaya had the habit of eating home cooked food and he had no qualms about food preparation. Anything that was served he used to enjoy and eat, Yogeshwari said.

Where are his remains?

After his departure, till today Yogeshwari says she has no clue what happened to him and where the remains are buried.

"I went around inquiring about my husband but the boys said 'he is not there'.

Yogeshwari pointed out that she had no one to turn to and feared to even lodge a complaint at the police at that time.

"None could go against the LTTE and lodge a complaint. I would be in trouble too and could be called a traitor. So I was quiet and remained quiet till now." (1993-2017)

Yogeshwari recalls that she read about Mahaththaya's death in a newspaper. "I came to know he was killed and not alive."

Yogeshwari tried to meet the 'Thalaivar' a number of times but it was futile. "I was not given permission to meet the man who enjoyed the company of my family and also I heard he refused to speak to me."

At that time, there were reports on Tamil media that Prabhakaran made his first call to Yogeshwari after he captured Mahaththaya.

According to the media reports, Prabhakaran had phoned Yogeshwari asking what he should do to Mahaththaya who had betrayed the LTTE and she, in her response, had said, 'Do whatever you want to do'.

Yogeshwari's search for her husband ended the day she read the news on the print media and heard it on the radio.

"I was told that my husband worked against the LTTE organization. I did not know anything about RAW they were linking him with.

"My husband mastered the warfare and knew everything and its strategic moves. But claiming he was with the RAW was news to me."

"Had he ever said that he would perish on the battlefield?

"No, we never spoke of death and our lives were based on hopes. He was hopeful."
"Did he dream of Eelam?"

"Well, that was the thought every Tamil had at that time.

"Life was not great without him. After knowing that he is believed to be dead, I came back to my maternal home with my children."

Yogeshwari's siblings who are overseas have shared her burden and educated her three children. They are employed and supporting her financially.

"From 1993 to 1997 I was unaware what had happened to my husband but I did not stop looking for him. In 1997 I heard he was tortured and killed."

Yogeshwari's eyes avoided us. She looked elsewhere and uttered these words: "Mahaththaya is no more". Despite knowing that this kind of fate was imminent in the LTTE circle, her family looked for him. "My inner feeling told me he was not alive."

A normal life

Today, Yogeshwari lives a normal life. No one speaks about her past.

About the war ending and peace prevailing in the island, Yogeshwari said she was happy too that there was no more bloodshed. "Boys died in vain at the end and my husband too."

On the LTTE being wiped out Yogeshwari said, "Yes, they fought for no result and I lost my husband for no valid reason and I am angry about it."

"What are your thoughts on the death of Prabhakaran?" She replied,

 "Yes, I never thought he would die in that manner too.Every Tamil thought he would achieve something but all ended and there is no bloodshed now. I am happy about that."

Her father Balasingham who was a village chieftain is a well read man. He lost hearing due to the noise of shelling during the war and Yogeshwari is the dearest daughter taking care of him.

Yogeshwari said not only her father but her husband too was a very respectful man and he never deserved such a death.

She also compared the current political situation to that era and said there is uncertainty still prevailing in the political arena of this country.

She is still bitter about her husband's death. "My children never knew him, and they hate to talk about it, which is obvious because his image has been tainted and the family was isolated from the society to some extent. People feared to sympathize with us fearing they would be taken away.

"He was a man who felt empathy for others and very helpful. Whatever he did, he did for a cause.
"I am still angry that Prabhakaran tortured and killed his best friend and he never faced me till he met his death."

Yogeshwari is one of those people who do not know what happened to her husband and she is left with no answers.

"Well, this is life. I don't have his photographs at my house and today I am recalling him after many years," Yogeshwari ended her chat with Ceylon Today.

Iraqi government launches offensive on west Mosul

About 750,000 civilians are still believed to be trapped in the city's west

 

Save the Children urged all parties to protect the estimated 350,000 children currently trapped in west Mosul.

Iraqi government launches offensive on west Mosul

Prime minister announces start of military operation to take back ISIL's last major urban territory in Iraq.

Iraq's prime minister has announced the launch of a military assault aimed at taking western Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group.

The Iraqi forces seized 15 villages from ISIL, also known as ISIS, on Sunday, according to top army commander Abdulamir Yarallah, advancing from several directions towards Mosul airport, which lies just south of the city.

"We announce the start of a new phase in the operation. We are coming to Nineveh to liberate the western side of Mosul," Haider al-Abadi said on television.

A top army commander later announced that forces led by federal police units retook villages south of Mosul, including Athbah, which leaves them within striking distance of the airport
"We launched our operation at 7am (04:00 GMT) ... We are heading towards the airport," said Abbas al-Juburi of the interior ministry's elite Rapid Response force.

The sky south of Mosul was black with smoke from air strikes and artillery as thousands of forces in armoured convoys worked converged on the airport.

"They're desperate," Ali, a Rapid Response officer, said in the village of Al-Buseif as helicopters flew overhead, tracking the last ISIL fighters attempting to flee.

"They will try to cause as many losses as possible, because they know they will die anyway," his colleague Alaa said.

Al Jazeera's Osama Bin Javaid, reporting from Erbil in northern Iraq on Sunday, said several groups were involved in a complex assault on ISIL positions.

"[Mosul is] flanked from the eastern side by counterterrorism forces, from the south by the Iraqi police, and from the north by the Iraqi military and the popular mobilisation forces, also known as the Shia militias," he said.

He said about 750,000 civilians are still believed to be trapped in the city's west
Aid organisations had feared an exodus of unprecedented proportions before the start of the fighting, which began four months ago with a government push on the east, but a significant majority of residents stayed home.

The aid community fears a bigger exodus from west Mosul, however.

"We are racing against the clock to prepare emergency sites south of Mosul to receive displaced families," Lise Grande, the UN's humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, said in a statement.

Save the Children urged all parties to protect the estimated 350,000 children currently trapped in west Mosul.

"This is the grim choice for children in western Mosul right now: bombs, crossfire and hunger if they stay - or execution and snipers if they try to run," said Maurizio Crivallero, the charity's Iraq director.
The Iraqi air force had on Saturday dropped leaflets on the west of the city, warning that a ground attack to push ISIL fighters out was imminent.

"Get ready to welcome the sons of your armed forces and to cooperate with them, as your brothers on the left side have done, in order to reduce losses and speed up the conclusion [of the battle]," read one leaflet.

Other leaflets warned ISIL fighters to "lay down their weapons and surrender".

The defence ministry announced last month that ISIL had been almost completely pushed out of the eastern side of Mosul, which is divided by the Tigris.

It later retracted that statement and fighting continues in some parts of the east.

More than 46,000 people  who fled Mosul as fighting raged have, though, been able to return to its eastern districts over the past few weeks despite the pockets of fighting.

Though the west bank of Mosul is slightly smaller than the east, the battle there is expected to be more difficult for government forces, especially in the narrow streets of the Old City.

The streets around the historic centre, which includes the mosque in which ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made his only public appearance in June 2014, will be impassable for many military vehicles and force government fighters to take on ISIL in direct fighting.

The major push to recapture Mosul was launched on October 17, supported by bombing raids from a US-led coalition.

இதுகுறித்து கருத்து வெளியிட்டுள்ள சிறிலங்கா விமானப்படைப் பேச்சாளர் குறூப் கப்டன் சந்திம அல்விஸ், அப்பகுதி மக்கள் கூறுவது போன்று, விமானப்படை முகாம் அமைந்திருக்கும் காணிகள் தனியாருக்குச் சொந்தமானதல்ல என்று வனவிலங்குகள் திணைக்களம் கூறியுள்ளது.

எனினும் குடியிருப்பாளர்களின் கூற்றுக்களின் துல்லியத்தன்மை தொடர்பாக சம்பந்தப்பட்ட பாதுகாப்பு அதிகாரிகளுடன் நாம் கலந்துரையாடல்களை நடத்தி வருகிறோம். எனினும் இதுவரையில் எந்த முடிவும் எடுக்கப்படவில்லை” என்று தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
