yesterday's elections for northern provincial council resulted in the expected victory for ilankai tamil arasu kadchi(itak) also called tamil national alliance(tna). it is a mixed group of tamil nationalist politicians from moderates to despicable extremely violent racists including those who were allied to now defeated tiger terrorists.
question that matter is not the results, but what happens now.
will the tamil nationalists have the courage and pragmatism to face facts below(as almost all other sri lankans have already done);
that so called 'oppressors' and 'prosecutors' of tamils(that is sri lankans in general as represented by government) were not bent of oppression. but were perfectly willing to and did hold a truly free and fair election.
that such an election was only possible after the military defeat of tamil tigers(ltte).
that in contrast, tigers, when they had power, insisted on being the sole representative of tamils, and killed and oppressed and prosecuted fellow tamils who even hinted at independent opinion(not to mention other sri lankans).
that defeat of tigers and holding of free elections was a great and praiseworthy leap for human rights and reconciliation in sri lanka.
that way forward in any direction requires, not confrontation and slander, but pragmatic engagement with sri lanka's democratic government.
will tamil nationalists face these facts and acknowledge them?
will they have the courage to push aside the extreme racists who prefer to remain blind to them (and prefer violence)?
will western hypocrites preaching to sri lanka about human rights and reconciliation face these facts, and acknowledge and support sri lanka's solid progress instead of prejudging us based on unsubstantiated allegations spread by racists(both tamil and western)?
we, sri lankans, have acted to secure democracy and human rights by defeating tigers and holding free elections. as always we will continue to do everything to foster democracy and human rights without prompting.
it up to all, including tamil nationalists, to join this effort in peace, and renounce violence and slanders.
it is in the interest of west and other foreign governments, to help us continue in the same road, renouncing hypocritical preaching and counter productive attempts at coercion.
whatever happens we will remain a democratic free society. and anyone who tries to undermine it with violence and coercion should be and would be defeated, as tiger scum were.

ps.
in elections held in north western and central provinces governing upfa is winning handsomely, as expected, even without some of its coalition partners. those coalition parties also got seats and will rejoin in administration if upfa will let them. unp is in a pathetic state as usual. jvp is finished.

A democratic society would also allow the right to rule and separation. Do you agree to that or not?
@Anon
Lol he will agree if his political masters agree, if not no.
right to self rule in not the same as right to ethnic cleansing and creation of a ethnically pure state as tamil racists want and tigers attempted.
in any case decision should involve the votes of all who are affected by the creation of such a separate state; that is all sri lankans

lol @ same anon replying to his own comment
I am the first anon who commented, the second one wasn't me and sorry I did not see the reply you had made.
If a self rule is adopted, then what happens in that state is their business, not yours. So whether it's an ethnically pure Tamil state or otherwise is irrelevant.
Your last sentence is interesting; how did all Sri Lankans become affected by a right to self rule?
anon moral bankruptcy is clear in his reply .
scumbag says "what happens in that state is their business, not yours. So whether it's an ethnically pure Tamil state or otherwise is irrelevant."
in other words sri lanksn should shut up while their fellow citizens are ethnically cleansed and their rights are violated.
this is typical racist logic for these scum. that anon is blind to filthiness of his answer says a lot.

"how did all Sri Lankans become affected by a right to self rule?"
their rights are curtailed
to take a simple example, their right of movement.
all curtailment of rights enjoyed by all in sri lanka must be consented by all through legitimate forms not just by those who may benefit from such.
