Judicial King or Political Indian – Who is speaking?
This morning I received email
advice regarding the release of Mr C V Wigneswaran’s book headed "Neethiyarasar
Pesukiraar" / Judicial King Speaks.
My search took me to the Tamil version of a report on this subject
matter. As per that report, Mr Wigneswaran refers to LTTE leader as Brother
Prabhakaran. Velupillai Prabhakaran was
no doubt the Chief of Armed rebels in Northern Sri Lanka – towards which he
killed fellow rebels. There was no justice in killing politicians – who are
heirs of the elders who fought for self-determination through various intellectual pathways. Prabhakaran was very much a child in intellectual politics
and more importantly, in a community that claims to be committed to Democracy –
including through the Vaddukoddai
Resolution 1976. So, if Prabharan is the younger brother of Mr Wigneswaran –
one concludes that Mr Wigneswaran is the chief of armed rebels. Given that they
expressly broke the law – how could Mr Wigneswaran be crowned king of
judiciary?
During the reign of such a king the following
experience was recorded by me:
In essence it is about my experience in Mallakam
District Court – where I was insulted and treated like a mistress. It compares with
the trauma experienced by Hindu queen Paanchali / Throupathi who asked the
question in the King’s Court as to
whether her husband staked her, his lawful
wife, before he lost his status in a game or whether he did so after? If after
he did not have the right to stake his wife – who married royalty and not a
slave. Likewise, when we the People, go into a Courthouse – we are entitled to
be treated as per our positions and not as slaves without rights.
Since the above happened during the reign of King Wigneswaran one is entitled to conclude
that his karma in respecting self-governing women is negative. In terms of Common
Principles of Democratic system – Mr Wigneswaran, like Mr Rajapaksa is acting
in breach of the Doctrine of Separation of Powers between the Judiciary and the
Executive Government. What a shame that there is not a single Tamil, holding
official position – using her/his leadership position to educate the public?
Our heritage is being buried by frivolous deals and collusions. Do we deserve
to call ourselves a self-governing community at that level? NO. People seeking
self-governance need to stay away from such persons. They are selfish
individuals.
In my case Truth prevailed to protect our heritage
in our family elders. Those of us who draw on the real values through which we
experience self-governance in all its sweetness – are the true heirs of
Independent Tamil Leaders – wherever they may live and whenever they may have
lived.
