BREXIT
& VADDUKODDAI RESOLUTION
I was happy that the Conservatives led by Mr Boris Johnson won the UK elections. The previous
night I said that I would like for Mr Boris Johnson to win. Until Mr Boris Johnson became Prime Minister – I was not
actively interested in the Brexit issue. But I did get involved through the
issue of BRIGADIER PRIYANKA FERNANDO in relation to which I
wrote to Mr Boris Johnson,
then Secretary of State – on February 2018 (Appendix). Since then I have been
sharing my communications with Mr Boris Johnson
also. Hence my feeling that I wanted Mr Boris Johnson to win.
The feeling was developed not only due to my true
belief in the issue but also the other side was open to it in Common. That is when the experience gets completed. This
connection of truth which is Universal is beyond our conscious mind. Hence my
expression that I would like Mr Boris Johnson
to win. In belief we know when the other side has accepted our contribution. Regularly through his communication acknowledging
my emails - Mr Boris Johnson kept going,
my confidence in the reliability of the system that he was part of.
In contrast there is no such simple acknowledgement
from Sri Lankan Government. Mr Navin Dissanayake did respond to me on the basis
of the above communication. But after that he also stopped. Due Processes
confirm our truth and protect our positions from unlawful possession /
occupation by juniors. One may not understand the meaning but one who believes
participates in the experience of the one who discovered the truth. Hence we
attribute to the origin. That is then team ownership even when the original
architect / discoverer has no knowledge of us.
In the real world, only some get the position even
though many others may deserve the position at equal level or more. The human
system is incapable of rewarding all those who deserve but do not get the
position and its benefits. But the Divine system balances it by facilitating the returns through other
avenues and/or raising the value to exponential level towards Ultimate Reality.
This means we have heirs all over the Universe. We connect to most of the heirs
naturally and beyond our consciousness. We know we have connected usually through
outcomes that cannot be explained logically.
On the day of the UK Elections I accumulated that kind of power when Mr Eranda Ginige sent me and those in my media list an
article headed ‘How to select top
officials to public corporations’ . I asked Eranda:
[Eranda,
Did you hold any senior position in Public Service or were you victimised in
any Public Corporation? If yes – I need to know. If no; yours is paper
information ; hearsay. If the President used your suggestions his governance
would be frivolous

There
was no response back from Eranda. But the Daily Financial Times did publish the
article the following day at http://www.ft.lk/columns/How-to-select-top-officials-to-public-corporations/4-691472
Similarly, on 12 September 2019, Mr Raj Gonsalkorale’s
article ‘Gotabaya – A breath of fresh air at Viyathmaga anniversary celebration’
was published by Daily Financial Times. I got to know Raj through Sri Lanka
Reconciliation Forum Sydney and I could not reconcile the two sets of outcomes
produced by Raj. I expressed my views through my usual path of emails.
Daily Financial Times published my article ‘Easter bombings in Sri
Lanka – Déjà vu?’ on 03 August 2019. I connected that space allocation to my
reference to Daily News reports in 1942 about the harassment in relation to the
report headed:
“Leave the
country immediately” - Gota’s Viyathmaga threatens female journalist’
was, to my knowledge NOT published by Daily
Financial Times, despite Ms Marianne David who had the experience, being their
Associate Editor .
This confirms that the above medium lacks freedom of
expression. Through his article [Why is the Swiss Embassy Woman Employee’s Claim of being
Abducted and Molested Being Refuted and Why is she Being Made the Target of a
Witch Hunt?], at http://dbsjeyaraj.com/dbsj/archives/66726,
Gamini Akmeemana presents the following conclusion:
[The doom of democracy is not just oppressive governments. It is also a
press without a conscience.]
As per my discovery our truth is the basis of our
personal law. This law that is our conscience. Likewise in a group – the common
truth is the basis of that group’s conscience.
I believe that many of us in the Tamil Diaspora contributed
to the conscience of the UK Conservatives which resulted in the Two Nation proposal
for Sri Lanka becoming part of the
Conservative Election Manifesto. To my mind, this confirms again the
Vaddukoddai Resolution which became the parallel of Brexit in Sri Lanka where
the fact that Jaffna Kingdom existed is a FACT. Our Nation is the one we
recognize through belief and not the one we are ‘told to accept’ or ‘shown’.
The fact that Sri Lanka was divided after the first
elections following the 1972 Constitution and after the standardization policy in
Education was confirmed through the 1977 elections in which the government of
Mrs Bandaranaike during whose period of leadership the above happened lost
badly and the Tamil Political group became the leading Opposition in National
Parliament. Making Buddhism the foremost religion takes one
back to the pre Colonial era when Tamils were governed by Thesawalamai Law and ruling
class Kandyan Sinhalese were governed by Kandyan Law and Muslims by Muslim law.
To that extent we were three nations.
Like the European Union we chose to coexist under Colonial rulers. Thereafter –
we sought to exit because in terms of exercise of Sovereignty the community was
worse off than under British rule. If Brexit is up to the British – Vaddukoddai
Resolution which is Jaffexit is up to the Jaffna Tamils who were / are governed
by Thesawalamai Law.

Dear Members of the Government of the United Kingdom,
Escalation
of the Conflict Between LTTE supporters and Sri Lankan Armed Forces in the
Territory Governed by the British
I write in my role as a leading member of the Tamil
Diaspora.
I refer to the communication dated 09 February 2018,
addressed to you, from the following Tamil Diaspora organizations:
British Tamil Conservatives (BTC), British Tamils
Forum (BTF), Global Tamil Forum (GTF), International Centre for the Prevention
and Prosecution of Genocide (ICPPG), Tamils Coordinating Committee (TCC-UK),
Tamils for Labour Tamil Friends of the Liberal Democrats Tamil Information
Centre (TIC), Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE), Tamil Solidarity
(TS).
The subject matter has been presented under the
following heading, by the above group:
REQUEST TO DECLARE THE SRI LANKAN MILITARY ATTACHE,
BRIGADIER PRIYANKA FERNANDO, A “PERSONA NON GRATA” FOR COMMITTING SERIOUS
OFFENCES UNDER BRITISH LAW, ABUSING DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IN THE UK AND COMMITTING
WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN SRI LANKA AND THEREFORE TO CURTAIL
HIS LEAVE TO REMAIN IN THE UK
My search for the basis brought up the following
presentation by Wikipedia:
[Under
Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, a receiving state may
"at any time and without having to explain its decision" declare any
member of a diplomatic staff persona non grata. A person so declared
is considered unacceptable and is usually recalled to his or her home nation.
If not recalled, the receiving state "may refuse to recognize the person
concerned as a member of the mission".]
Given that the Government does not have to explain
its decision, one is entitled to conclude that the acceptable basis is
belief. The question then arises as to how the independent observer would
‘reconcile’ between the belief based outcomes expressed by the two governments
or are we expected to know that – the outcomes manifested by the Government of
Sri Lanka and the Government of the United Kingdom are beyond
reconciliation?
Knowledge of this is important for us as – the Tamil
Diaspora.
The Sri Lankan Government’s Responsibility
As you may already know, the Sri Lankan Government is
committed by Article 9 of the Sri Lankan Constitution to afford ‘Buddhism, the
foremost place and accordingly it shall be the duty of the State to protect and
foster the Buddha Sasana.’ As a Hindu, born and groomed in Sri Lanka, I
view this issue through my Hindu mind which practice is also facilitated
through Articles 10 and 14(1)(e) of the Constitution. I believe that it is the
Responsibility of the Sri Lankan Government to ensure that the outcomes manifested
by itself – satisfy both these Fundamental requirements. This may require
certain degree of Separation between the groups concerned.
As you would appreciate, the provisions in the
Constitution need to be self-balancing in their logic. As per the system of
karma – common to Buddhism as well as Hinduism and indeed Christianity through
different forms – manifestations have three levels of influence: - (1) Current
Merit; (2) Common faith developed in current environment and (3) Truth of our
past/Predestined influence/karma.
To my mind, Diplomatic missions are of group (3) –
where instead of time based separation – they have distance based separations –
away from the current base. The groups that have complained against the Sri
Lankan Diplomatic mission are also of this category in terms of the Sri Lankan
public whom the groups have disowned by inheriting the LTTE philosophy of
Separation rather than realizing Independence within one Common structure of
Administration.
These groups are entitled to be respected as
distinctly separate entities to the groups that have migrated to the UK with
active memory of their life in Sri Lanka through which they remain part of the
community currently resident in Sri Lanka and to whom (the latter) Sri Lanka is
the only ‘home’. Within the Tamil Diaspora, these are sub-communities who rely
heavily on their ‘local’ culture to enjoy freedom. Some end up merging with
others like themselves while others remain at their already earned credit
levels or lose their identity as a special purpose groups.
Since this is a Sri Lankan issue – affecting the group
that I represent through my ownership investment of my free will, in that area,
I believe I have a duty to place on the common table my contribution on
behalf of those folks. As you may know, the first Tamil Political Declaration
of Independence was made in Vaddukoddai in 1976. I believe that anyone to whom
that place is ‘home’ will inherit the values (positive as well as negative) of
that which was proven to have had the blessings of Natural Forces, in 1977 and
more recently in 2015 when the leading Tamil Political group became the Equal
opposition in Sri Lankan Parliament, confirming the strong investment in intellectual
independence made by Sri Lankan Tamils over a long period – including during
the rule of British who were also a minority group at primary level. The
essence of this manifestation is that whenever Tamils claim Independence as a
Political right – their true status is elevated and those who failed to respect
that right were demoted. Both – the true claim by minority and the true
deterioration have to happen at the same time.
The claim by minority group through the Political path
is weakened to the extent minority as a community ‘show’ an alternate
pathway and/or are indifferent to who governs them. It is strengthened
exponentially by those who realize independence and therefore practice
self-governance as individuals or sub-minorities within the main group of
minorities.
The contents of the above mentioned letter from some
such Tamil groups confirm that these groups are themselves dependent on others
– for example - the non-Tamil British Politicians - to establish good
governance. They have thus weakened the value of Independence that Tamils have
already contributed to through various pathways as individuals and/or groups.
As per my discovery – Belief confirms ownership to the
person by the person. Management is a combination of Ownership and Administration
trough common principles. The higher the value of ownership – including as an
individual -the more reliable would the outcome be. Hence those who qualify
entitlement in Diplomatic Missions have to self-assess and confirm themselves
as owners.
When belief is manifested it confirms perfect balance.
A political group needs to have ‘belief’ as the driving force in seeking an
Administrative ruling involving an opposition. By seeking an Administrative
ruling by the British Government, this consortium of groups has also confirmed
acceptance of the Sri Lankan Defence Forces as their Opposition. To that extent
they have confirmed distance from the LTTE which acted for itself towards its
stated purpose of ‘Separation only’ as a solution to the ethnic problem.
The Sri Lankan Government’s Responsibility
This particular group of Tamils carried the flag of
LTTE which as per your Home Office was proscribed as follows:
[Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) -
Proscribed March 2001 The LTTE is a terrorist group fighting for a separate
Tamil state in the North and East of Sri Lanka.]
As per the Common, Law Abiding British Citizen, the
above group that carries the LTTE flag is a group that is infected by
proscription. The complaints and suggestions from this group have to be
discounted by that degree of proscription and likewise any punishment to the
‘opposition side’ needs to be outside the activities that led to the LTTE to
be listed as Terrorist Group by the British Government – by itself for
its own purposes.
The LTTE were heroes to some and tyrants to others.
Each one is entitled to be driven by their own experiences. As per mine, the
LTTE were, as per their own confession in 2003, zeroes in Democratic Civil
Administration.
We await in this regard an outcome that would
facilitate intuitive identity with the respective governments that we have
invested in. The Sri Lankan Government is required by law to be
Dharmic/Righteous as per Buddha Sasana. The British Government is
expected to deliver as per its role as a leader in the global community.
In your shoes, I would strongly recommend to the
Sri Lankan Government as quid pro quo to the inappropriate conduct of the
Sri Lankan Diplomatic Mission, the release of all LTTE prisoners in Sri Lanka,
in respect to whose imprisonment the Government does not have objective
evidence of wrong-doing AND who have been endorsed positively by their
respective elected leaders.
In matters of Belief, Governance ruling has to
be through Independent voting by the Parliament and not by Administrative rules
in the making of which minorities have not had equal opportunity to contribute.
I identified with the beauty of this through my own belief in the investment
made by Jaffna Tamils in higher education. The opportunity came through the
University of Jaffna whose Governing Council has demonstrated dire need to
balance between Intellectual Independence and Physical Freedom (Politics)
where they would be kings and queens of locals and locals only. The
University of Jaffna paved the way for a good proportion of rural Tamils
to improve their self-governing abilities I wider world, through investment
in Intellectual Independence. Some of them are likely to be in the groups
that protested in London on 04 February when Sri Lankans celebrated
Independence in common. If one were to use the merit based method – the credit
goes to Indians led by Mahatma Gandhi whose Truth reigned Supreme and resulted
in the British departing to confirm their self-dignity. To my mind, Sri Lankans
like myself who respect and value British contribution to our life – celebrate
on 04 February the preservation of this self-dignity that is the nucleus of
self-govervanance. As an Australian I value this dignity with fellow
Australians – including Indigenous Australians on 26 January.
Yours sincerely
