Jayalalithaa's Incredible TenacityJayalalithaa's Incredible Tenacity
Usha S Sri-Skanda-Rajah
Today 24, February is Jayalalithaa 's 66th Birthday and she is pretty Sitting. Incredible woman that she is, she has just now said she will "counter in court" the action, by the Congress dominated Centre, to move the Indian Supreme Court for a restraining order, questioning the legality of her decision to release the 7 imprisoned for Rajiv 's killing. As a result the decision to release has been held in abeyance; the Centre also disputing the powers of the Tamil Nadu State and her authority.
No doubt the lady is not for turning.
Win or lose in court on the release of the 7, Jayalalithaa has endeared herself to most Tamils all over the world by her decision. The Hindustan opinion poll shows more than 81% approval for her decision. As always her incredible tenacity comes through in her every action and is to be admired. When better to acknowledge this fact than on her Birthday!
It's Jayalalithaa's same incredible tenacity on all Eelam issues that needs also to be acknowledged; it is hoped this same tenacity shown by her for Eelam, gets rubbed on to other leaders as well.
Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam and that is what the ( TGTE ) When IT has Wants "All political parties urged to include Sri Lankan Tamil issues in Their election Manifesto."
In the Matter of consistency, I have to även with Congress bigwig and Union Minister, Anand Sharma 's allegations that Jaya has "changed her Stand On the LTTE , "Because of her decision to release the 7. It was a futile attempt to discredit her. Sharma has got it wrong; as someone studying her moves for a while, her position on what she perceived as LTTE violence has never changed; she had natural reservations, never wanting to support violence; always condemning Rajiv's killing allegedly linked to the LTTE. Yet she listened and that is an asset for a politician, she did not want to identify with the LTTE but was sensitive to the plight of Eelam Tamils and over time realized that Tamil Eelam was justified and Eelam Tamils had to be liberated from a far greater threat, that of Sri Lankan state violence, oppression and persecution.
