Tamil motherland areas are systematically converted to military occupation lands by the government and in pride disclosing, that it has eliminated the liberation tigers.
But even though tigers are eliminated, still Tamils crisis is not settled.  Tamil's struggles will emerge on terms of psyche was explicitly mentioned by Tamil National Alliance Leader R.Sambanthan in parliament.
He said, false allegations and campaigns are charged against us, which I deny. My name and my colleagues’ name were featured in the Tigers assassination list. But you (government) name us as tigers and we are the associates of tigers and representatives. This should be changed.
 
Tigers were not originated by themselves. They did not get originated by the Tamil people. The government which came into power time to time, unleashed suppressions and occupations against the Tamils people was the cause of the origination of the tigers which should be accepted.
 
Today many are saying that they have destroyed the tigers. None destroyed the tigers, but they themselves got destroyed. Tigers were destroyed because they failed to adopt democracy, moral and human rights.
 
Voices are raising Diasporas and migrant society. From year 1956 to 1983 the mass racial eradication advanced by the Sinhala government was the cause for them to leave the country to protect them. They are now functioning as a united socialized movement.
 
During the past period, Bandaranayake Selvanayagam and Dudley Selvanayagam accords were signed for the settlement of racial crisis. But the accords pointed that there should not be any changes in the population escalation.
 
If those agreements have been implemented at that time, today this situation would not be prevailing. We are today deprived from that benefit.
 
Four thousand 600 hectors of lands owned by the Tamil community in the north have been confiscated by the military. 10 thousand houses are constructed for the military.
Out of this in 555 homes belonging to the community, 308 private properties and 153 divisional secretariat division offices are being utilized as military camps.  
 
20 regiments exist in Sri Lanka, however 15 battalions are stationed in the north and two regiments are stationed in the east. Three years have gone after the end of war, but   still why the necessity of   military multiplication?
 
Government organized military colonization project initially got colonized and later was registered for voting, and the lands where Tamil people lived from ancestry, the plan is to reduce the increase of their population which we consider.
 
We did not  come to clash with the military. We are not at all saying military should completely withdraw. But we are saying that our area should not be completely turned out to be military occupation.
 
Five lacks of population exist in the north; however one and half lacks military are stationed in the north.  According to this, percentage assessment would be,   to every three civilian one military.
 
 
We are not against the military but the military and government is treating the Tamil people as second class citizens and the vast   confiscations advanced which we condemn.
 
Let the military be in the camps and perform their safekeeping duties. Our people desire is to live their lives engrossed in small industries, self-employments and efforts in agriculture, livestock and poultry.
 
 
But military have taken over many acres of paddy fields and are engaged in farming. They are doing livestock. They are involved in coconut farming and cashew tree cultivations.
 
Meanwhile obstructions are for our people to live in their native lands. Even though court had ordered for resettlements in Waligamam and Sambur areas, military is rejecting.
 
Lands in Mullaitheevu and Kepapilavu are turned to be owned by military, and the people living in those areas have now come to the streets. The government on a systemized manner has constructed military camps and has colonized in the ancestry lands of Tamil people; government is attempting to make a vast alternation in the population expansion.
 
This we strongly condemned. We oppose.
 
180 persons are enrolled to the military in the   north and 2,500 persons to the civil defense force. To establish to the outside world,  they are provided with black T.shirts and a monthly salary of 18 thousand rupees. But they are employed as minor employees and workers in the camps.  To fulfill their selfish attitudes the recruitments are done.
 
JVP annually celebrates the November heroes’ day in the southern area by organizing massive rallies and events. Meanwhile government or the military do not take any attention.
 
But to light lamps to Murugan and to pay tribute to the demised relations in the north, restrictions are imposed. Jaffna University students in a peaceful manner lighted lamps and paid silent tribute were brutally assaulted by the army.
 
The arrested Jaffna university students should be immediately released.
 
Today they are in much pride that they have destroyed the tigers, but even though tigers are destroyed, the Tamil people’s crisis is not settled.  Tamil's struggles will emerge again on terms of psyche.
 
 Government has introduced Sinhala colonization by combining the Dollar farm, Kent farm which are located behind the Iranaimadu area including Welioya an area of 78 kilo meters wide. This country will not have a democratic peace at any time was mentioned by him.
