Mannar Bishop alleges, Gothabaya is eliminating Tamils intensely.

Sunday , 26 May 2013

The teeth of 13th amendment to the constitution are already extracted by the government. What is remaining is land and police powers and the Sinhala chauvinists are blaring to abolish that.

 

 If government carries out this, it will finally lose the confidence of Tamil people said Mannar district Bishop Rev.Father Rayappu Joseph.

 

Concerning this Mannar Bishop made a statement to "Uthayan" yesterday said suppressing and oppressing the Tamils, and disregarding the Tamil language, the Hela Urumaya Bothu Balasena, Patriotic Nation Movement including Sinhala chauvinists parties, Defense Secretary Gothabaya Rajapakse, Minister Wimal Weerawansa including some Sinhala chauvinist’s politicians are determinedly operating.

 

President Mahinda Rajapakse along with them is stating that Tamils are requesting separate state, Tamil Eelam and he is attempting to obliterate our race.

 

However Tamil people did not demand separate state or Tamil Eelam. They desire to rule themselves, enjoying with entire rights in north and east.

 

Hence without paving way for any uncertainties President Mahinda Rajapakse should immediately conduct the north provincial council election.
