Message: <blockquote data-quote="rapa" data-source="post: 2494288" data-attributes="member: 212">Tamil National Alliance MP R. Sambanthan on Wednesday (July 23) moved an adjournment motion on the North-East situation calling for the Tamils' right to self-determination' if the government is unable to give a political solution to their problem. He alleged that the Government was committing gradual genocide on Tamils."Genocide" has been the hackneyed allegation of the Tamil separatists since the time that the State began defending itself against the Tiger terrorists.  If Sambanthan thinks that the government is ready to enforce a political solution that would please the TNA at the expense of the sentiments of the rest of the people, Sambandan is sadly mistaken.On this issue the TNA has been eager to complain at the drop of a hat to 'Mother India' and the rest of the 'international community' against the Sri Lankan State.  And now the TNA – backed by Trotskyite Sinhala political clowns like Wickramabahu Karunaratne and Siritunga Jayasuriya - wants the Sri Lankan Government to accept Tamils' right to self-determination, which Delhi does not recognize.  No ethnic group in India is given that right.Senior Minister and Leader of the House Nimal Siripala de Silva has effectively responded to Sambanthan saying he was making this statement to win global sympathy for the LTTE cause when the Sri Lankan military is crushing the Tigers.Minister de Silva further said: "Today, Mr. Sambanthan talked about self-determination rights for Tamils based on their right to the lands of their historic habitation. In this manner, people in Akurana will also claim their area as their historic homeland. Our Veddahs in Dambana will make the same claim.  If we accept this concept Sri Lanka will be divided into at least 25 parts," he said.He said that it was the LTTE that had committed ethnic cleansing, by evicting the Muslims from the Jaffna Peninsula."The so-called human rights groups did not raise their voices about the massacre of people in Kebitigollewa.These organizations compile biased reports to demean Sri Lanka in the eyes of the international community," he noted.</blockquote>
