Mothers are desperately in search of their children and wives are determined in finding their husbands who had gone missing after surrendering to the forces during war, and if statements are made that none had got lost, then are mothers and women query their missing beloveds are psychologically affected?
Are those gave witness with evidences in front of Reconciliation Commission, are liars?
Are the processions and hunger protests held appealing the details of those gone missing are done as hobby?
Is only Gottabaya Rajapakse who is directing the Sinhala force is only speaking the truth?
If the affected women and mothers are speaking lies, will this world accept it?
Today the suppression against women is a part of ethnic oppression. In this state, if succeed liberation in politics, women's liberation will be feasible.
In this circumstance, women should join the protest demanding rights, and by acquiring political liberation, could achieve women’s liberation. Towards this, women should gather enormously.
Jaffna district parliament member E.Saravanabawan gave this invitation.
The women's movement under the Waligamam west divisional council, organized a women's day celebration at Walagambarai and parliament member was the Chief Guest.
He said, international wide, women day is celebrated. Women's voices in many angles are raised in processions, debates and exhibitions. But suppressions and persecution against the women has not got eradicated so far.
This has been converted in many images like the magician jumping from cage to cage.
More than these oppressions, the government has instigated violence against the Sri Lanka women and their throats are getting throttled. Our women's bodies are getting ruined. Minds are getting crumpled.
Women are facing tremendous depressions as none has come forward to question on behalf of them.
According to our traditions, family is similar to a temple. The head of the temple is husband. In the leadership of husband, the family blooms wonderfully. A family without a leader is like a plant does not have its roots, getting faded. It is also similar to a boat unsteady without a paddle. Women are in a severe condition, forced in burdening with all the responsibilities.
State forces by reasoning out war, hunted hardheartedly, and the husbands of our women were snatched. Dads were lost. Brothers went missing.
Today thousands of our Tamil sisters have become widows, living like orphans, as none is there to care them. They lead their lives in utter poverty and loneliness. The rulers who pushed them to this catastrophe did not care to guide them to get some deliverance.
They did not raise their hands for compassion. Contrarily they are burden with more and more agonies.
Sri Lanka forces carried out sexual abuse as a war weapon. This is the allegation made by the human rights watch.
How many of our women were the prey for the forces sexual abuses and were killed?
Many underwent torture, and lost their lives. This figures of the exact women got affected are not still finalized. But government is attempting to conceal by its reports denying.
Meanwhile women still exist with life are facing immense adversities, and the Channel 4 video scenes are the unshakeable witness which has got emerged.
None got lost during war, was said by none other than the brother of Country's President and responsible officer for Sri Lanka defense, and Defense Secretary Gottabaya Rajapakse.
Not only this he said north and east is not for Tamils which is a total lie was said by him as a fact.
Our women are living in poverty, loneliness as their children, husband and fathers are detained in prison and leading miseries for ten and fifteen years. The protest held to produce them in courts and to release is like blowing the trumpet in a deaf ear.
If they are not offenders, why government is refusing to face investigation for justice?
We will do like this, that, but the assurances given, are flying on air?
Massacre, sexual abuse, missing persons, detention for a long time in prison has affected mostly the women and women have become the suffering end.
The oppressions against the women by the government, economy, sexual oppression, psychology-based repression, oppression of freedom of movement are in many ways the persecutions are getting expanded.
Women's every foot step against the state oppression, it is the every step journeying towards women's liberation.
In this manner our Tamil society is suppressed, and the accomplices of this oppression activity, is howling that we should join with the government.
By agreeing to this suppressions and carrying out politics, they have become the partners of oppression, is alleging us, that we have not agreed. But this compromised politics is a betrayal politics in the case of Tamil people. This had got expanded from the history as a merciless politics, and a politics supporting the oppressions.
With Sinhala rulers, Sir Pon Ramanathan executed an agreed politics. But due to the deceitful act of giving the western provincial representation, Tamil people were compelled to boycott the Legislative Council election.
Late G.G.Ponnambalam and Dudley Senanayake conducted compliance politics and became a minister. His equal status demand did not turn to be successful. Alternatively the people’s civic rights stripped. Sinhala colonization was advanced in the east.
Tamil Arasu party conducted compliance politics with United National party and late Thiruchelvam was appointed as minister. Voted for district council but was not granted. Trincomalee Koneswara zone was not declared as a sacred region.
Alfred Thuraiyappa, Arulampalam and Thiyagaraja conducted negotiation politics with Srimavo Bandaranayake .
Tamil people did not get any compassion. Contrary through the new constitution act, Tamil people became the second class citizens. Through standardization, Tamil students’ rights were grabbed,
Minister Douglas Devananda is today conducting compromise politics. He is raising his voice for us also to compromise in politics and to be assistance for the suppressions carried out against the Tamil people.
According to 13th amendment to the constitution, the powers given to police, civil and administration coming under the provincial councils were seized, and Minister Douglas compromise politics got praised by supporting the 18th amendment.
Through the "Divineguma" act, the provincial council lost 13 powers. Ministers negotiation politics, divided the north and east. Is it necessary, the compromise politics to assist petty actions of taking the roots of Tamil people?
Due to war, the Waligamam north people who were displaced are still facing hardships in refugee camps. Waligamam north consist all resources for cultivations. This soil gave resource to the Sri Lanka economy in the cultivations of chilies, plantain, and other. This soil which gave ample resources, is now has got trapped in the seizure of military.
Those days, the Colombo market awaits the arrival of Mylitti fish. The coastal area of that region is now ruined by the feet of those grabbers. 23 years have gone; but still people are not permitted for resettlement.
Violence’s are advanced against the people's protest demanding their native lands which they grew, did cultivations. Attempts are done for disorder.
Did Minister Douglas Devananda at least once even voice for this people? Did he even move his finger in support them? Did he submit a request in the cabinet?
Today Sinhala colonization is in Nawatkuli. Sinhala settlements are in Kilinochchi, Manalaru.
Tamil people were living in Mulliyavalai from year 1972, Iyanapuram, and now it has become Muslim colonization. Totally Tamil people’s ancestry motherland has altered in the ethnic percentage, and Tamil people has been converted as minority. They are destabilized for which a conspiracy is getting staged.
Is it compromise politics or betraying politics?
This comprise politics is essential to push all the Tamil people in the ditch by grabbing everything from them. Is it called the compromise politics or betraying politics?
Minister Basil Rajapakse recently inaugurated the drinking water system in Mannar Adampan queried, whether Tamil National Alliance at least had pelted a stone in development?
Those in power are rulers, they impose tax from people. They obtain loan from foreign countries. They have the responsibility to advance developments. Tamil National Alliance which does not have any powers, how could it process activities for developments?
Tamil National Alliance was not invited for district divisional development meeting. Even then, if they attend, their demands are not accepted. President recently attended the Development Review meeting in Jaffna, but none of the members from the Tamil National Alliance was invited.
In this manner a systemized discrimination exists, hence Tamil National Alliance not a stone, but not even a cord it could put it in development.
Tamil people elected the Tamil National Alliance are not to execute politics in the name of development. It voted to regain back the lost rights and to obstruct the confiscation in the mother soil.
Broad roads, sky scrapping buildings cannot be judged as development. Does development mean ornamentation panoramas and decorations?
When people’s rights gets reachable, and when livelihoods get developed people could journey in broad roadways. They could fulfill their requirements from high buildings.
A person who is not permitted to get his own land, what is the use of broad roads. A person who is not permitted to do his own trade, the high-rise buildings will not be any use to him.
Oppression against women today has become a part of ethnic suppression. Hence when politics get completely liberated, there would be possibilities for women liberation.
Saravanabavan said, women should join in thousands in our endeavors in the protest for the rights, and through this, politics can be liberated and could achieve women liberation, for which women presence should be massive. We invite all the female folks heart fully to join in our struggles for rights.
