Misleading international community:
True picture of Darusman's 'Disciplined' terrorists
When the LTTE mercilessly butchered innocent civilians across the
country in the past three decades in their effort to turn the entire
island into a graveyard, the so-called western critics and those who
appoint advisory panels to look into the final phase of the humanitarian
operations observed them silently.
There was no attempt from their side to exert pressure on those
so-called terrorists to put them on the path of democracy or even to
liberate the innocent Tamil civilians from the clutches of terrorism,
leaving the civilians to suffer for decades. They simply ignored our
leader's plea to the world for support to end Asia's longest driven
conflict.
 Instead of responding to our pleas for assistance to find our own
solution to the problem they tried their best to apply their own
theories to resolve it. The LTTE never bent towards democratic means to
end the conflict.
They shied away from the negotiation table repeatedly in every
initiative successive Governments of Sri Lanka took. They kept on
marching on the path of terrorism by assassinating democratic leaders of
the country and also in India and mercilessly massacred the majority
Sinhalese in the island. The world had ample evidence to prove the
LTTE's acts against humanity.
So, what were we to expect from a leader who has real feelings for
his citizens who were suffering at the hands of the ruthless terrorists
for decades? Should he have tolerated all these atrocities silently or
should he have found an effective way of eradicating it to bring and end
to the conflict ?
The solution he had was the humanitarian operation to liberate the
innocent Tamil civilians from a savaged group of terrorists who were
ready to push their own people to the fronts to reach their own ends.
The entire world observed how Sri Lankan troops were liberating the
innocent civilians who had been kept hostage by the LTTE for months in
Puthumathalan on April 20, 2009. They observed very clearly how a sea of
innocent civilians fled 'hell' when the Sri Lankan troops opened the
gates out for them to flow into the land of freedom.
If the troops wanted to massacre the innocent civilians in 'safety
zones' they could have easily done that as they had enough guns to
outnumber them.
Therefore, it is ironic to see that the advisory panel appointed by
the UN Secretary General making the Sri Lankan Government and the
Security Forces responsible for alleged war crimes committed during the
final phase of the humanitarian operation whilst observing deep silence
over LTTE atrocities and crimes committed against innocent Tamil
civilians.
In a shameless manner, the so-called Darusman report is trying to
push the international community against this small nation impeding its
prospects of becoming one of the brightest in the world through the
reconciliation and development drive being carried out after eradicating
ruthless LTTE terrorism.
There is only one plea the Sri Lankan community has to the world.
Don't be misled by those so-called reports. If the advisory panel of the
UN Secretary General has a thousand evidence to prove their allegations
to the so-called war crimes and human rights violations committed by the
Security Forces in the final phase of the humanitarian operation the
people of Sri Lanka have millions of stories to tell about the violation
of their rights by the LTTE. Then the world will know who has done wrong
and who did right.
