DESTRUCTION
The USA on 19 April, 2009 asked Sri Lanka to stop the war and start negotiation. The USA, for the first time, warned of dire consequences. The Tamils immediately welcomed the new stand of the USA.
Accepting a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), the Supreme Court on 20 April, 2009 directed the Union Government to submit an affidavit - within 48 hours – on the money in the numbered accounts. A newspaper in Switzerland had reported that a former Prime Minister of India had deposited Re.11000 crore!
The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu State on 23 April, 2009 said that the Tamils got military training during the period of two successive Prime Ministers because their demand for a sovereign nation was a reasonable one. However, all other leaders in India have been telling that India did it in the supreme national interest.
India gave military training to the Tamils at a time when India donated an island to Sri Lanka. No country would part with its island while giving military training like this. Hence, the statement of the Chief Minister is an untenable one. Now, the Chief Minister is virtually a ruler of India. He could consider the question of disclosing the real reason behind the act of giving military training to the boys.
The Chief of an Information Technology Company on 23 April, 2009 said that the dismissed employees would get full pay for one year if they did not get re-employment. This is his reply to the last email submitted to Her Excellency the President of India. He knew that it is nothing but an act of injustice. But he also knew what he says is law. Now the employees would look upon him with fear and suspicion instead with love, respect and gratitude.
Militant people killed five police personnel in the Bihar State on 24 April, 2009.
Two Indian officials called on the President of Sri Lanka on 25 April, 2009. Sri Lanka immediately intensified the war.
The USA on 25 April, 2009 again asked Sri Lanka to halt the hostilities. The USA now said that any military end to the conflict would end the hope for the unification of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka asked the USA and the western countries to mind their own business. It said that no power had the right to bail out terrorism.
A political party in India on 25 April, 2009 considered the creation of an independent Tamil nation as the solution to the Sri Lankan crisis. African National Congress party in Africa expressed a similar opinion.
The President of India on 26 April, 2009 visited the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. She saw the ‘gas chamber’ where about 1.1 million Jews had been exterminated. The President described the killing as an example of “human misery and cruelty”. She expressed her hope that such incidents would never happen again.
When the present writer profusely quoted Plato, the former President of India paid a visit to Greece. Now, on seeing the repetition of the Holocaust in Sri Lanka, the President of India went to see the ‘gas chamber’. In this way, the President unequivocally demanded her Government to put an end to the misery and cruelty in Sri Lanka. In fact, the act of wounding parents and their children by bombing and keeping them without any treatment inside barbed fences is more heinous than vaporizing them in a ‘gas chamber’.
The Tamils, on 26 April, 2009, declared cessation of offensive operations. Describing this as a joke, Sri Lanka rejected it. It asked the rebels to either surrender or perish in the deep sea. It thanked India for extending all kinds of logistic, weaponry and monetary supports. Offended by this development, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu State commenced an indefinite fast on 27 April, 2009 at 6 A.M. India immediately asked Sri Lanka not to use aircraft or heavy weapons. At 1 P.M. the latter obliged.
The above fast diffused a highly volatile situation in Sri Lanka. A sudden thoughtless action might have resulted in the death of more than 10,000 people on that day.
The Encyclopedia Britannica had mentioned the name of this Chief Minister long ago. Therefore, he needs no new achievement to establish his name. However, if his Government at the centre had been helping Sri Lanka without his knowledge, the fast might go down as an achievement. It would be an addition to his greatness.
The fast shows that three or four leaders possessing power in India join together in a small room and frame the policies of the land in bad faith. No consent of the Parliament. No common consent. No Cabinet meeting. No collective responsibility. No debate in any forum. The Union Ministers are expected to present to the Cabinet the matters pertaining to their ministries only. This is the etiquette. This is the reason why a coalition partner had to undertake a fast.
It is true that Sri Lanka –exercising the greatest cunning and caution – enlisted the support of the USA and other countries before the present military action. Yet, the USA might have moved its warships to Indian Ocean. It might have informed its intention to undertake a 30 minute air operation to destroy the war machinery of Sri Lanka. Alternatively, the some European countries might have conveyed their intention to grant independence to the Tamils. The fast might have coincided with these developments. If these inferences were true, it was India that surrendered the heavy weapons, for a moment, to the will of the world.
The shocked media mafia warned that any withdrawal of the Sri Lankan forces from the Tamil areas would lead to the destruction of India.
Now, if the Tamils were responsible for perpetrating injustice in Sri Lanka, they are liable for total destruction. If Sri Lanka were doing injustice, the world should not hesitate to destroy its war machinery. If India were responsible, the bad thinking that brought down a calamity in Sri Lanka deserves destruction.
The Madras High Court on 27 April, 2009 sentenced a former Managing Director of a nationalized bank to a 14 year imprisonment.
Sri Lankan Air Force on 28 April, 2009 bombed and killed several Tamils in the hope of destroying the prize within. Thus it violated its own announcement. If the Tamils had aircraft, they would have destroyed the Sri Lankan air bases. If they had heavy weapons, they would have retaliated. Now, they are physically powerless. They have no strength even to protest. Yet Sri Lanka is undertaking bombing operations!
The manipulation mafia on 28 April, 2009 said that about one lakh Information Technology employees would be dismissed before September, 2009 based on a stringent performance criterion.
In this connection, it must be stated that a Company now wants to hire 20,000 and fire 2000. Anyone could be beaten below the belt using the performance criterion. It is a new predicament. They interfere in examinations and award low mark in interviews. They trap telephone conversations and block emails. Above all, they have the power “to strange” the work like this one. Now they want to dismiss employees! The President, Government and the Supreme Court must be sensitive to find a solution.
The Foreign Ministers of Britain and France visited Sri Lanka on 29 April, 2009. Sri Lanka turned down their demand for a truce presumably because it believed that it was sitting on the head of India.
The President of Sri Lanka on 30 April, 2009 said that the USA should not preach to Sri Lanka. Now he would find fault with anyone acting in good faith. Apparently, he thinks that he alone has a brain that needs no preaching.
Not withstanding anything a man might perpetrate injustice. He may be an incarnation of a divine power. Even then he is liable for destruction. This is what the sages say.
The facts from 19 April, 2009 to 1 May, 2009 are being submitted to Her Excellency the President of India on 2 May, 2009 through email.
