Final letter by Mani sacrificed his life by set himself ablaze for Eelam Tamils.
Some portions of the letter written by Mani is getting published here before he doused himself with petrol and set himself ablaze yesterday appealing redemption for the Eelam Tamils and to notify President Mahinda Rajapakse as a war offender and to wipe out the tsunami housing project scandal.
“While working as an officer in the ship building industry, and due to the deep patriotism I had towards India, I avoided the Singapore including foreign citizenships and in the year 1999 on the Indian Republic day, in Singapore I tattooed in my right shoulder the name Indian and the image of Indian flag
I returned to India on the Republic day in year 2000, and decided to give blood donations until I die, and after death donating my eyes and all my body parts and my desire was completely to donate my body after my death to the needy.
I donated blood continuously 26 times and I was a social worker.
For the past five years I was carrying out protest in the democratic manner opposing to inferior tsunami houses,, but my demands were completely denied.
To seek justice, I organized hunger protest until death in front of Kadaloor Supreme Court but high officials were aware of this, disturbed and diverted my protest. They possess money, position, power and everything.
I assume after my death, the Tsunami housing fraud will get some redress and in this belief I am destroying my life.
Innocent fishing folks are facing poverty as their fishing trade has got affected severely. They are citizens of this country and government once again, according to the government records, should build quality houses and should uplift these people, this country to an international standard is my serious thought.
I feel much proud to be born a Tamil in Indian soil.
Sri Lanka's barbarous Rajapakse is a merciless human animal drank the blood of our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters including infants who got brutally killed (176,000)
I felt this is the correct time to take my life because the US is submitting the resolution today (4th March 2013) against Sri Lanka, at the UN Human Rights Council session for executing war crime activities.
Our Eelam Tamil motherland should get separate state and our Tamil people should acquire better life hence I am voting through my life being born to a Tamil mother.
My dear mother, dear wife, dear daughter dear son-in-law, and all my dear sons, I have given thousand afflictions for you'll. It is a blessing that I had you'll. To you and my relations, I am giving my death salutation. Thank you.
By keeping my body at the present home, covering it by the Indian national flag, cremate me in a good graveyard and in memory of me, (the place where my hut was located) build a small tomb.
Kindly all should forgive me.
| Wording of resolution will decide India's stand – Manmohan |
  Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, said yesterday, whether India votes against Sri Lanka when the top human rights body of the UN meets this month in Geneva will depend on the wording of the resolution that the United States plans to introduce.
Dr. Singh is under pressure from his ally, the DMK, to support the resolution which will focus on alleged war crimes by Sri Lankan defence forces as they defeated the Tamil Tiger rebels after a lengthy civil war.
Last month, new photos released by UK's Channel 4 suggested that the 12-year-old son of V. Prabhakaran, the head of the Tamil Tigers, had been executed in cold blood. The Sri Lankan Government has said the photos are morphed. They will feature in a documentary that will screen in Geneva during the session of the UN Human Rights Council.
All political parties in Tamil Nadu reacted strongly to the photos. DMK chief M. Karunanidhi said they confirm President Rajapaksa is a war criminal.
India voted against Sri Lanka at last year's session in Geneva after the DMK threatened to quit the Prime Minister's coalition. That resolution, also sponsored by the US, asked Sri Lanka to assign accountability for massive human rights violations in 2009 in the final months of the war, and implement the findings of an internal inquiry into the war.
