CONGRESS-DELHI’S “GREATEST BETRAYAL” OF THE TAMILS - A REJOINDER
vssubr...@gmail.com
The piece ‘Congress-Delhi’s “greatest betrayal” of the Tamils’ in
Merinews, 15 Jan 2009 exposed the double-talk tactics of Congress-
Delhi to camouflage its partnership of the SL genocide and betrayal of
its TN partners and Tamilians over this genocide right from the
inception of the UPA rule in 2004.
Modus operandi of Congress-Delhi
To ascertain whether such tactics are continuing, the most recent
official statements from Congress-Delhi sources are examined. These
are: the President’s address to Parliament (Feb 2009), Chidambaram’s
statement to the press on 15 February and Pranab’s post Colombo visit
statement. Prima facie Pranab’s unhelpful Tamil cause stance hasn’t
changed even in the President’s address to Parliament or Chidambaram’s
statement. SL’s atrocities caused anguished horror in international
capitals, but no such emotions are registered in Delhi and in any of
these statements. Chidambaram ‘promises (only) to arrange a dialogue
between Sri Lanka and LTTE to stop hostilities in the island nation if
the government suspended military operations against the Tigers and
the outfit laid down arms’ is most unhelpful when he also states that
Congress-Delhi ‘cannot ask Sri Lanka to negotiate with a militant
group, as its policy is not to negotiate with the militants even in
Kashmir’. (How truthful! - a strange new line for Congress-Delhi’s
anti-Tamil crusade).
Chidambaram demeans India’s handling of Kashmiri militants
By equating India’s fight against Kashmiri militants with the world
renowned brutal SL genocide, Chidambaram compromises India’s national
interest and damaging to India’s moral standing in a dispute still in
the boil internationally. The explanation for Congress-Delhi’s
reluctance to request SL to negotiate with the Tamil militants appears
awkward when it actively partners (covertly or overtly) SL in the
genocide. SL benefited most from supplies of (and funds to procure)
lethal arms (cluster bombs, phosphorous bombs), commandos, equipment
and above all super-class intelligence. Gruesome pictures of the
atrocities caused by such Congress-Delhi supplies are in the public
domain world-wide. Further-more Congress did in fact force SL to
negotiate with the same Tamil militants during the IPKF days. Did
India apply this principle to its other neighbours in particular when
India acted as the mid-wife delivering the new Bangladesh, the Baluchi
rebellion in Pakistan, Nepal and Myannar? Chidambaram's keenness to
please his SL patrons is extra-ordinary as it also carries a promise
to carry this message ‘to every nook and corner of the state’ (TN).
Isn’t this sufficient encouragement to SL to speed ahead with its
genocide, finish off the Tamil resistance and bury the ‘Tamil cause’
nuisance for ever?
Rajiv family’s revenge lust dictates Congress-Delhi’s anti-Tamil
stance
At the TN level the onus of elaborating on Pranab/Chidambaram messages
fell on Thangabalu, the TNCC chief. The Hindu on 30 October 2008
quoting Thangabalu reported: ‘On charges that India was extending
military aid to Sri Lanka, he said radars had been given to the island
government only to protect its territory and not to use them against
the Tamils”. The irony is that Indian radar operators were injured in
SL front line positions. The simplistic "It was not possible to use a
monitoring equipment to attack the Tamils," hides away the critical
importance of battle front intelligence in war. To dampen the TN
Tamilians (labeled ‘LTTE supporters’) anger, Thangabalu says the
Congress party will not forgive the Sri Lankan militant outfit for its
role in the assassination of Rajiv and act against forces that create
problems for Indian unity. Thangabalu’s ‘not forgive’ wow reveals a
‘revenge lust’ that is essentially un-Indian and against basic Indian
dharmic tradition or culture. Does the ‘revenge lust’ require the
sacrifice of lives and sufferings of tens of thousands of Tamils to
appease the soul of a killed Rajiv? Lives of Sikhs were sacrificed
after Indra’s killing in a Rajiv/Congress inspired, SL style violence.
Thangabalu’s statement has Rajiv family’s Congress-Delhi stamp of
approval. Thangabalu, a TN politician suddenly foisted displacing
sectarians in the TNCC leadership position has to ensure that Rajiv
family’s ‘desires/passions’ are satiated as a priority. Echo’s of
Thangabalu mantra are repeated by the likes of Chos, Jayalalithas,
Subramania Swamys and sectarians in the Hindu group.
Chidambaram’s tactic to channel Tamilian anger towards TN UPA partners
The openly hostile anti ‘Tamil cause’ rhetoric from a sectarian clique
that has a stranglehold in the TN Congress was revolting and angered
mainstream Tamilians throughout the state. Chidambaram’s call is to
divert Tamil anger away from Congress towards its UPA TN partners.
Hence the acts that undermine the TN UPA coalition partner and its
decades long standing as champions of the Tamils.
TNCC Congress chief’s laboured denial of Congress-Delhi’s overt/
covert support for the SL genocide was frustrated as more and more
covert support for the SL genocide became overt with Congress-Delhi’s
poor handling of the exposures. This undermined public confidence in
what Congress-Delhi states or claims it does. Hence Congress’s
expression of concern for Tamil civilians is the subject of ridicule.
SL also relished leaking details of the support it receives from
Congress-Delhi.
Echoes of Pranab (Rajiv family’s proxy) and anti-Tamil cause rhetoric
in TN
Thangabalu attempts to re-inforce Pranab’s anti Tamil/LTTE rhetoric
(as reported on January 27) that ‘India possess no sympathy for the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its supporters ..the
civilian Tamils must be prevented from becoming victims in Sri Lanka.’
smack a likeness to Chidambaram’s hard heartedness; avoiding even
civil expression of anguish for the suffering Tamil civilians in SL.
Thangabalu’s ‘not forgive’ wow and Pranab’s adversarial ‘no sympathy’
for ..‘its (LTTE) supporters’ have much in common. These forewarn
Tamilians who angered by Congress-Delhi’s support of SL genocide
engage in massive protests across TN leaving Congress totally isolated
as outcasts in the TN polity. The logic behind Congress-Delhi’s
adversarial anti-Tamil rhetoric is to get the Tamils/LTTE to surrender
as a quick fix to kill off the Tamil resistance/LTTE and the Tamil
cause abandoning the affected Tamils to cannibalistic extinction or
eternal oppressive servitude.
In the President’s message the call to Tamils/LTTE for talks seemingly
repudiates the hawkish Pranab/Congress-Delhi approach. PM Singh’s
pains were to soothe the hurt feelings of Tamilians and TN leaders.
Pranab apparently speaking for and with authority of the Rajiv family
uses his vociferous anti-Tamil/LTTE rhetoric to prove his credentials
as a Rajiv family loyalist in Congress-Delhi. His close advisors are
the same South Block sectarians who in the 1980’s turned Colombo into
its playfield and dragged Rajiv into the messy 1987 Indo-SL Accord.
Hence in Colombo (after other South Block official’s visits) Pranab
avoided any reference to the ceasefire call, the announced mission
that PM Singh specifically committed, to the Tamlians/TN politicians
deputing the task to Pranab. As an aspiring Prime Minister, Pranab’s
posture as an anti-Tamil hawk in Congress-Delhi does make sense that
he administered PM Singh and the TN politicians a sharp rebuke first
by unduly delaying his Colombo visit and later totally omitting the
Tamilians/TN ceasefire call with Colombo. In effect under direction of
the Rajiv family, PM Singh was overruled giving rise to posers over
‘who indeed is the de facto PM in Congress-Delhi today’. PM Singh was
soon after in hospital.
South Block returns to its 1980’s game plan – the anti-Tamil/Dravida
crusade
Hence Pranab’s strident uncompromising anti-Tamil/LTTE message is not
in sync with the tenor of the even handed message in the President’s
address calling on both the SL regime and Tamils/LTTE to the
negotiating table. This was to re-assure the TN-UPA partners whose
standing as role model Tamil champions was being surreptitiously
undermined by the Rajiv family loyalists (and the South Block). Other
pro-Tamil cause groups were emerging posing a serious threat to the TN
UPA partner’s reputed role as champions of Tamils, earned after
decades of struggle and sacrifice. That role as Tamil champions was
becoming untenable when Congress-Delhi, its principal UPA partner was
partnering the SL genocide. Pranab, a Rajiv family loyalist and the
sectarian Southern Block had much in common as recipients of lavish
graces and much more from SL. Congress-Delhi inherited this deal style
polity as a Rajiv legacy. SL’s investments began to bear fruit when
Congress returned to power in 2004 with the Rajiv family’s
stranglehold of it intact. As long as Congress-Delhi is captive to the
Rajiv family, Congress-Delhi’s stance is unlikely to change making
Tamilians angrier and the position of UPA TN partners more and more
untenable.
The re-emergence of the influence of the sectarian South Block (with a
deep dislike of mainstream Tamilians) specifically explains Congress-
Delhi’s hawkish anti-Tamil stance. Pranab’s words ‘its (LTTE)
supporters’ openly forewarns mainstream Tamilians and politicians
against involvement in the protests. Pranab who did not press for a
ceasefire returned with a deceptive ‘fire free zones’ (Chidambaram
lauds it) kite camouflaging Congress-Delhi’s call to the Tamils/LTTE
to surrender quickly. The manner in which the ‘fire free zone’
proposal was conveyed (no courtesy call, except a memo sent days
after) to CM Karunanithi, a revered elder statesman and a champion of
the Tamils was a rude snub. Such precedent setting Pranab’s conduct
approved by the Rajiv family encourages political players in SL
(Fonsekas) to get away unscathed after insulting the TN politicians as
‘jokers’. These led a leading analyst (Nateri Adigal) to explain why
‘Tamil Nadu (is) being forced to go the Eelam way’.
The most gruesome carnage of Tamils fails to move the hard hearted
Congress-Delhi
The gruesome and revolting carnage in SL stirs the conscience of
humanity. This reaction is totally absent amongst the Congress-Delhi
crowd. Instead the Rajiv killing is flaunted to condemn the entire
Tamil community to its fate. Sectarians in the established media in
Chennai brutally character assassinated Rajiv over the Bofors scandal
until his very death; yet this cabal’s mourning Rajiv’s killing 19
years late is to justify the killings of Tamils in such numbers as
sacrificial lambs to appease the soul they seem to mourn for. The
sectarian cabal can no longer pretend to mirror the views, feeling and
aspirations of mainstream Tamilians. Yet the sectarian TNCC strives to
exploit the Tamil cause by climbing the TN non Congress Tamil cause
bandwagon wherever possible, however much Tamilians resent this
harshly and publicly.
Electoral arithmetic – need for non Congress TN partner to re-think
its future in UPA
DMK lost in TN (1991) in the immediate aftermath of Rajiv’s killing;
but nationally votes cast for Congress also fell. The over-rated Rajiv
factor in unlikely to restore the electoral slump (today at a meager
23 percent) in the post scandal tainted Rajiv Congress rule. Indra’s
killing led to a surge in electoral support to 49.8 percent.
The Tamil cause is not totally lost; a non-Congress Delhi is likely to
change this. The lustre in its Tamil championship will shine when TN
UPA distances itself from Congress-Delhi. Sprucing up its tired image
and emerging stronger and re-invention of its 1960’s Dravidian roots
will improve its mettle to fight off the heavily rearmed and hawkish
SL (thanks to Congress-Delhi) that is unlikely to stop at merely
harassing or taking its hapless TN fishermen captives. The threats are
real should another Congress-Delhi in the Centre TN continue to ignore
Tamilian sensitivities to betray TN for amorously courting an over
armed Sri Lanka.

lingual society? Is it so imposible to lift their head and look at
INDIA which is just 18 Km away?Cant they read newspapers about how
NHERU & CO handled the language problem and reorganised INDIA on
language lines?Cant they take a plane trip land in delhi and see for
themselves How INDAIN languages and regional cultures are flourishing?
How every state imparts school education in local languages?How higher
education is done in ENGLISH? HOW because of ENGLISH we have become a
software super power?How even though 70% INDIANS dont understand
their PM speaking in parliament they vote in right governments that
guard the cultural plurality of INDIA?
The answer is they know it
perfectly well. BUT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING IT. WHY? They
IDEALIZE the PAKISTANIS who imposed URDU on BANGLADESHIS and commited
genocoide when they resisted it.There is practicaly no difference
between them and PAKISTAN. THEY both are racists.They wish the
destruction of INDIAN multi cultural nation.They were seeking support
from US in the past and CHINA at present giving harbour facilities to
CHINA
Sri Lankan Tamils are paying the price for
the tamilian vote to UPA in the last election.The Hindus of Srilanka
are being killed by Budhist sinhalese race with the help of Christian
Sonia.Had the BJP was in power would they let it happen?Many half
baked foolish north indians writing in these comments dont realize
that more than 1000 Indian Tamil Fisher men have been killed by the
SLA Navy as one of the largest Navies in the world Indian Navy stood
watching by.Even pakistan only arrests Erring indiaan fishermen
straying into the their waters.INDIAN CHANNELS has never ran a story
on that.If iNDIAN CHANNELS began as a channel in the 90's means
should it not introspect about the past? Instead of calling useless
talking heads like KAPIL SIBAL , SUDIP and ABISHEK MANU SINGVI for
uniterrupted slanging matches why cant you dig for truth?
. Srilankans helped PAKISTANI AIRFORCE planes to refuel
and fly to bangladesh against the warnings of indira's government
during 1972 indian war with pakistan. Guess who whre on these planes?
PAKISTANI MILITARY PERSONNEL in civilian clothes.Once they landed in
DHAKA they changed their clothes and killed indian soldiers and
commited genocoide of lakhs of Bengalis in BANGLADESH.
Srilanka always supported American proposal for
nuclear free zone in south asia nuch to india's chargin.They never
supported INDIAN stand on kashmir.Now they are openly filrting with
CHINA.Why your channel never goes back in history to dig the truth?
Now they are giving the HAMBANTOTA deep sea port to CHINA. for
what? to refuel the chinese navy ships like GWADER port in
PAKISTAN.PAKISTANIs supplied emergency military aid to srilanka during
the height of KARGIL war. Now a genocoidal leader like RAJAPAKSE is
glorified as a soverign head of state.
RAJIV GANDHI was misled into SRILANKA by a
coterie that includes ROMESH BANDARI and others.The whole INDO-
SRILANKAN accord is a trap,because it doesnit mentions any specific
rights to Tamils.PRABHAKARAN was coerced into the agreement by
virtualy jailing him inside DELHI's HOTEL ASHOKA.
NO senior tamil politician was consulted.The
then foreign seceretary VENKATESWARAN saw through the SINHALA plot
and adviced against it. Guess what? He was dismissed.Such was the
influence of the coterie around the inexperienced RAJIV that he
dismissed a seasoned diplomat thinking that SRILANKA was desiring
genuine freindship with INDIA.
Once IPKF went there they showed their true colours.
They did every thing to sabotage the fake accord.Theyploted to turn
INDIA against LTTE.14 senior leaders of LTTE were arrested by Sri
Lankan Army in peace time and deported to COLOMBO in gross violation
of the accord and they all commited suicide.Did the INDIAN government
raise any voice? no. why? because the entire INDO,-SRILANKAN accord
was a Clever bait by sinhalese.
They feigned to lease TRICONAMALEE port
to US allow VOA staion there.When INDIA confronted them they baited
INDIA by saying OK we wont do that, But we will send you some papers
regarding a few proposal to TAMILS , We will sign a peace accord
throwing some false promises to Sri LANKAN TAMILS.And SRILANKA will
fall into indian camp. INDIA fell for this bait. The late JEYAWARDHANE
has openly talked about it later in his life.MORONS like SONIA who
cant even can hold a proper press conference, who cant even complete a
degree in LONDIN during 3 years stay will never comprehend the
treacherous minds of SINHALA FOXES.
When LTTE protested to IPKF they couldnt do anything about
it.LTTE too is guilty in opposing indians. But what will they say to
their cadres when 14 senior commanders were killed right under the
nose of IPKF. They remained silent only.Waves of protestsa in srilanka
followed .DHILEEPAN took a fast unto death in jaffana.After many
months the IPKF installed its puppet PADHMANABHA as chief minister of
the NORTH EAST state in a bogus election.And LTTE took on the IPKF
only after that.
THE TAMIL-SINHALA divide is an old running
sore.Tamils of srilanka went to there 1000 years before.The sinhalese
are also migrants form kerala,bengal and bihar areas of india.just a
hundred years before them.The Sinhala lies that they are the true sons
of soil is white lie.Sri LANKA is just 18 Km away from Tamil Nadu.And
the waters are shallow.There is an evidence of abridge type natural
formation from NASA photos. Wont Tamils cross this just 18 Km in 2000
years?
Right from the day British left the ISLAND
the sinhalese are denying education in TAMIL for TAMILS and government
jobs.They have a racist envy about educationaly forward TAMILIANS.They
are denying all rights to them.MILLIONS of TAMILS live in foreign
countries as a refugees. OUR country is also fighting many
insurgencies.Is it using 120 mm guns,helicopter gunships,and airforce
bombesrs on them? They are only used against foreign enemies.Thats how
sinhalese regard Tamils.They know very well that their obsolete
artillery and bombers will kill 100 more civilians for every LTTE
killed.They relish the thougt.SO be it. Their true intention is
commiting genocoide
the tamils like ABDUL KALLAM is makin
missiles. Tamil Scientist CHIDAMBARM was the head of the atomic bomb
division.The BRAHMOS missile chief is SIVADHANU PILLAI a TAMIL. The
CHANDRIYAN project head MAYILSAMY ANNADURAI is a TAMIL also.hundreds
of TAMILIANS have laid down their life for defence of INDIA in
kashmir, KARGIL, even in AFGANISTAN. YET the INDIAN government under
RAJIV GANDHI fell for the SINHALESE bait.Ignoring the wellfare of
TAMIL RACE in SRILANKA.He didnt consult a single TAMILIA POLITICIAN on
the accord.This is what happens when inexperienced charismatic leaders
get into power.A security relationship was thrown as a bait by
SRLANKANS and that was it.
Every NORTH INDIAN would have watched on the
TV how a sinhalese soldier tried to kill RAJIV in SRILANKA.He is
living free in SRILANKA today.SRILANKAN government has covered it up
as an act of an individual.During IPKF time 1000 indians and 10000
Tamilians were killed. WHo was responsible for this?
The INDIAN TAMILS were completelt against the
treacherous killing of RAJIV GANDHI. They annoited congress government
of NARASHIMA RAO and MANMOHAN SINGH.
But still SONIA GANDHI's help for the genocoidal srilankans illustrate
that the LTTE's fears on RAJIV was justified.LTTE feared that RAJIV
will once again be fooled by LANKANS and they will be finished if he
comes to power again.If you are in PRABHA KARAN's shoes what will you
do?
after that they never destabilised
INDIA.During NARASHIMA RAO,VAJPAYEE,MANMOHAN regimes,How many INDIANS
were killed by LTTE? Come SONIA GANDHI the SINHALESE are only
gloating.Did they try to assasinate SONIA in the past 15 years? Every
one knows they will die for a cause once they aim for it.They have the
capability to do anything.But they didnt try.Now in gross violation of
all constitutional norms She is helping the sinhalese to kill 20000
TAMILS.Is the death of 20000 TAMILS not enough of a punishment? SHE
still wants more.Enacting a careful drama of forgiving NALINI ,an
accomplice in RAJIV assasination, SHE is secretely assisting the
SINHALESE in this genocoide of TAMILS.The
US,BRITISH,CANADIAN,NORWEGIAN governments were urging Sinhalese to
stop the genocoide.but INDIA is keeping quiet.WHY?
News Channels like you trivialze teh whole
issue by superficial reporting.,
