We think it’s best to start planning for a happy future for Sri Lanka without the LTTE.
Nothing is easy, but if people of goodwill, love and compassion work together then nothing is impossible. We remind all, that according to JR, one of our past presidents, when confronted with the then foreign minister of India with a stern warning from Indira Gandhi responded “You may occupy us but you cannot conquer our spirit. According to Thirunavukarasar(Apar)Nam-Arkum Kudiyallom, Tamil people steeped in their ancient traditions of poetry, religion and psalms, know the immortal words of their 7th century savant. We are not subjects of anyone”
This sums up the essence and the defiance of individual self-determination of the Tamil people. When we look at these two quotations, one could see the difficulty bringing people together. But on the other hand if we all accept these self-evident truths then we come to a consensus. Its time to begin to get into to each others shoes!
