CONSTITUTIONS WITH MINDS OF THEIR OWN

 

Tamil Sri Lankan MP Mr Sumanthiran Tweeted as follows:

‘The Accord was signed by JR. …LTTE…supremo Prabhakaran alleged that he was…coerced to agree to the contents of the Accord. However, other Tamil parties accepted the accord – albeit with reservations – as a starting point for resolving a bloody civil war’

My response was:

Given that it is Sri Lankan Problem, Tamils as the leading minority group have the duty to put forward our own proposal instead of accepting the mind of an 'outsider. India's sovereignty needs to be exercised within its own border. Neither govt. has authority to agree

 

If we accept Vaddukoddai Resolution as our starting point, we would honor our own Political elders who lost their lives to internal opposition led by the LTTE. If LTTE did not oppose it at that time, VP's heirs have no voice now. They have the duty to be silent.

As per Mr Puhazh Gandhi, the author of the Wire article, the influence of Sri Lankan Tamils is disclosed as follows:

With inputs from Dr Kandiah Sarveswaran, former education minister, Northern Province, Sri Lanka and M.A. SumanthiranMember of Parliament, Sri Lanka.

The article reveals also as follows:

‘The ethnic conflict and geopolitical considerations made successive Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi intervene in the affairs of Sri Lanka. In addition to diplomatic moves to protect Tamils’ rights based on power sharing, Indira Gandhi had secret plans to invade Sri Lanka and capture crucial Sri Lankan air strips in August 1984, but couldn’t execute this as the secret plan including the invasion strategy were leaked to the press by a French agent. Further, Indira Gandhi’s assassination in October 1984 effectively sealed the lid on the invasion plan.’

 

To me, of great Interest is the French connection. It is no coincidence that the Agent was French, given that the 1978 constitution was based on French structure. The Asian Human Rights Commission confirms the origin as follows:

‘….the 1978 Constitution was created on the model of the French Constitution and the American Constitutional tradition. This was first propagated by Professor A.J. Wilson who called it a Gaullist Constitution. At the time, he was the advisor to President J.R. Jayewardene, a role which he publicly lamented about later, after the 1983 riots when the President could offer him only the safe passage to the airport to leave Sri Lanka. However, the false statement stuck. Later, others added the American model also. The mention of the similarity between the French and American Constitutions was constantly used by others and it is being repeated even now.http://www.humanrights.asia/news/ahrc-news/AHRC-ART-017-2022/

In Hindu tradition, we merge our virtues with the life of the dead, so their souls would become Positive Universal Energies. Those who live in Truth are already part of that Universal Energy. We refer to it as positive karma.

To the extent the French Agent was loyal to his Nation, he would have protected  and been protected by the fundamental values of his Nation anytime anywhere. That is the way of Truth.

Interestingly the 1978 Constitutional Advisor was a Tamil  - Professor A Jeyaratnam Wilson who married to the daughter of Mr SJV one who is presented by Wikipedia as follows:

‘He was the founder and leader of the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) and Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) and a political leader of the Ceylon Tamil community for more than two decades. Chelvanayakam has been described as a father figure to Ceylon's Tamils, to whom he was known as "Thanthai Chelva" (father Chelva).

Unless those in Public life reveal separation, one is entitled to conclude that they are naturally and continuously influence by immediate family. By wanting to leave Sri Lanka after the 1983 riots, Professor Jayaratnam Wilson confirmed his share to the cause.

Many Sri Lankans find fault with the way Mr Ranil Wickremesinghe got elevated to the position of President. It is again due to his respect for the West who came to us through the 1978 Constitution! That Constitution also has its own mind (as established yet again through the legal actions against Mr Trump). That mind was invoked by many Americans of Sri Lankan origin who invested in the global part of the Sri Lankan Constitution. Even though they did not have big wins in American Courts, the power of the global community worked through Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa to bring to power the person who according to American law, was more faithful to global values than Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa  who renounced his American citizenship, to become President of Sri Lanka. This meant that he was no longer protected by global powers.

If India interferes with Sri Lanka’s constitutional amendments, by using Tamil Nadu as an entry point, Sri Lankans as a whole, will lose the opportunity to become global. Instead, that which happened to Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa, will happen to them for effectively renouncing their Western values to ‘win’ locally in Sri Lanka. Those driven by visible outcomes of money and status lose ownership and v.v. That is the way of Truth.
