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. Sumanthiran, Member
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.
