[TamilNet, Friday, 11 October 2013, 18:57 GMT]NPC Chief Minister Mr C.V. Wigneswaran has to be profusely thanked
and appreciated by Tamils for his honesty in conceding that he is not a
natural leader of Eezham Tamils representing their aspirations, but a
planted one by New Delhi to implement the 13th Amendment. Wigneswaran’s
revelation and his efforts to muffle voices in Tamil Nadu and in the
diaspora have to be understood in the background of what M.K. Narayanan
had told the TNA in May 2009 that, “we know better what is good for
Tamils.” New Delhi simulating a leadership for the political surrender
of the Tamil cause poses new challenge to Tamils all over the world,
writes an activist for alternative politics in Jaffna.
Talking to Indian media in Jaffna on Tuesday, Wigneswaran said: "Not
that India brought me in but India, in an indirect way, was instrumental
in allowing the provincial council elections to take place after 25
years."
He also added: “I am here because India almost had a
hand in the elections being held when the (Sri Lankan) government as
saying we are not going to have it or we are going to crap the 13th
amendment and so on."
Tamils can do well with the implementation
of the 13th Amendment and the LLRC recommendations, is the position of
New Delhi and Washington that were in complicity with Colombo in the
genocidal war.
Both the models are just confirmation of
structural genocide and annihilation of the nation of Eezham Tamils and
their territoriality in the island, when vested in the hands of the
historically proven genocidial State in Colombo, is the assessment of
Eezham Tamils, whose experience on this matter predates the formation of
the New Delhi Establishment and the emergence of Washington as a super
power.
Preparing for his entry into politics designed by the
powers, Wigneswaran made his maiden speech of the current series at
Vaddukkoaddai YMHA on the Pongkal Day, on 14 January this year.
In
his speech, comparing the law and order situation between the LTTE
times and the SL occupation times, he hinted at the difference between
people under their own rule and an occupation rule.
Interestingly,
Wigneswaran has also said in that meeting that, “a careful scrutiny
would show how some one among us was there operating and still
operating, behind every wrong committed by outsiders.”
We should
build unity and an internal mechanism so that our people don’t turn
into pimps and servants of outsiders, Wigneswaran further said in that
meeting in January this year. He was meaning the occupying forces as
‘outsiders’.
He also was talking in that meeting about ‘ego’ [he
used the Saiva Siddhantha terminology Aa’navam in Tamil] and indirectly
targeted his attack on the LTTE, saying that we should think of what had
happened to our youth who had been so powerful just a while before, and
added that “who ever dance to their ego [Aa’navam] had to reap the
consequences.
How the intellectual prowess or ego of the former
Justice is now used to pimp ‘outsiders’, how it is used to cowardly
interpret and hijack a popular vote to surrender the cause and
self-respect of a nation that had not been surrendered by the LTTE even
at the point of life and death, and how the intellectual ego that looks
upon the masters now overstep in an unwarranted way to the extent of
ridiculing and silencing voices of the kith and kin in the diaspora and
in Tamil Nadu, are well known through Mr Wigneswaran’s own words.
The
attack on Tamil Nadu for supporting the cause of Eezham Tamils has
first come in recent times from genocidal Sri Lanka’s former military
commander Sarath Fonseksa, then from Gotabhaya and KP, and now it comes
from the intellectual ego of Wigneswaran, while Indian intelligence
operatives are known for their view of considering Tamil Nadu polity as
an impediment to their designs.
Meanwhile, Mr. Wigneswaran’s
Sampanthi (son’s father-in-law] Mr Vasudeva Nanayakara, denouncing
‘extremists’ among both the Sinhalese and Tamils, and accusing them for
unknowingly contributing to each other, has been quoted by media this
week with an extremist statement that if Tamils take up arms again the
answer [of the Sinhala State] will be the same as what the LTTE had been
served with.
Tamils in their civilization cannot stop without
getting an international answer of justice for the crime committed on
their nation.
The world has not so far given an answer to those
who have committed the genocide, commit genocide, those who participate
in such Establishments, those who don’t shun genocide for their
geopolitical greed, those who have global responsibilities but back the
culprits in the State Establishments, those who have the responsibility
for the region of South Asia but have brought in the first ever
large-scale genocide into the region and those who now try to deny
everything, shield everything and try to impose a hoodwink as solution
which is nothing but continuity and confirmation of the crime.
New Delhi is in the forefront in this exercise and thus poses a new challenge to Tamils all over the world.
Last time when the New Delhi hoodwink came up the LTTE was there to effectively meet the challenge.
Wigneswaran
has now allowed himself to be used by those who try to pre-empt any
effective challenge coming from Tamil Nadu and the diaspora.
The
intellectual ego of some among Tamils, ignoring righteous sentiments and
necessities of the masses, failing them is not new to Tamils.
Colombo-centric
media has already started hinting at the prospects of trained elephants
taming wild elephants in making Jaffna to have no qualms about becoming
another Colombo and Trincomalee.
Naturally there is simmering
anger on the Wigneswaran-Sampanthan-Sumanthiran trio among the Tamil
public in the island, in Tamil Nadu and in the diaspora.
But, a well-known adage in Tamil says that one should not blame the arrow but the bowman.
Unless
Tamils everywhere are not prepared to address the struggle directly at
New Delhi and Washington, Wigneswaran & Co cannot be
course-corrected. Tamils also should be careful in not allowing the
sentiments of discontentment to get hijacked by unbefitting elements.
The
CHOGM in Colombo and the Geneva sessions in March may be some
opportunities. But people of Tamil Nadu will be getting a solid chance
around next May to make it a condition that their support is for only
those who could conduct an investigation within India itself against
those who were responsible for the genocide committed and being
committed on the nation of Eezham Tamils.
