COMMON WAR HERO & THE 13^TH AMENDMENT

 

Five days ago Mr Sarath Fonseka, revealed an interesting discovery in Sri Lankan parliament. The Daily Mirror reported it as follows:

 

‘We as ex-military men strived hard to maintain the unitary status of this nation but there are others who are trying to create unrest just to win votes. These leaders have genes of those who made 600 police officers surrender to the LTTE. This leader was killed by the LTTE later,” he said.’

Fear of death is the enemy of any soldier. The soldier who fights to defend/preserve Sovereignty, is a winner in death also. Such a soldier becomes the Common Sovereign Power of all those who fight to defend/preserve their own sovereignty as individuals and/or groups. Hence, their actions during war are considered fair.  In life, they were two sides of the One coin, to the extent they were true to themselves.

 Sovereignty is a precious quality that is the source of  our inner peace.

Mr Fonseka was referring to President Premadasa, who collaborated with the LTTE to free Sri Lanka from the grips of the IPKF (Indian Peace Keeping Force). The LTTE was the balancing power and President Premadasa, being a People’s President, respected sovereignty of the ordinary man. He felt in 1983 July about that there would be trouble if the  funeral of 13 soldiers killed by the LTTE, were  held in Colombo. Wikipedia reports as follows:

‘Prime Minister Ranasinghe Premadasa, fearing violence, was against holding the funeral in Colombo, but was overruled by President J. R. Jayewardene’

If the  then PM Premadasa had been respected, Black July would have been prevented.  His heirs carry those common genes.

I discovered this through belief and practise of Hindu philosophy which promotes belief in Elders. In Australia, we attribute that the Indigenous folks were the First Nation in Australia. This offsets  the Racial Discrimination sins of the past.

 

Tamil Elder Chelliah Kodeeswaran of Jaffna

 I stated recently about funeral rights – through  Mr Kodeeswaran who fought for his fundamental rights to continue working in the language he had already learnt:

[I searched and found a writeup at - https://sangam.org/tribute-to-chelliah-kodeeswaran/.........

As per the article ‘  Though he was born in Jaffna Meesalai his heart was inseparably interlinked with Trincomalee.’

This has not been substantiated and if not true amounts to hijacking family’s rights to honour Mr Kodeeswaran.

‘Mr Kodeeswaran was fighting for his fundamental rights to continue working in the language he had already learnt. I believe that his contribution went towards  the following article in the constitution:

18  (2) Tamil shall also be an official language.]

 

 

 Our first opportunity to realise group sovereignty is the family we are born into. When we know the Truth of that family and  are led by that truth in relating to others in the family, in every relationship in the family, we lay the foundation to progressing towards group sovereignty , beyond the physical influence - at community, national & global levels.

As per my conclusion, Mr Fonseka’s gene  theory is false due to personal ambitions. My reasoning as  a commoner is as follows:

The order to surrender was preceded by the following bitter experience by the LTTE, due to unethical conduct by the  army:

[One noteworthy incident took place close to an army camp in Batticaloa in the first week of June. The army arrested two LTTE cadres and they were ordered to kneel on the road opposite their camp in the scorching sun for over six hours, amid bantering and other sorts of humiliation from the watching army personnel. One LTTE cadre bit his cyanide vial and died] https://sangam.org/sri-lanka-the-untold-story-chapter-44):

As per the above, the Sri Lankan Army failed to respect soldiers who were fighting to preserve sovereignty. President Premadasa valued Sovereignty and hence was ready to die for the cause. He effectively died as a soldier who did not fear death by another soldier. Hence he is a Common war hero, and his heirs, biological and/or through belief, will inherit the common genes. Mr Fonseka on the other hand, confirms his genes to be from Mr Gotabaya Rajapakse, who abandoned the position of President. This is indicated by the following, in the Daily Mirror article -  Sarath Fonseka to split from SJB; to run for President :

‘He is also expected to work with intellectuals and prominent personalities during his campaign.’

 

This was confirmed by the following:

‘MP Fonseka was critical of a pledge given by the SJB leader that he will implement the 13th Amendment to the fullest.’

The main feature of the 13^th Amendment is reported to be:

The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka (13A) is amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka, passed in 1987, which created Provincial Councils in Sri Lanka.

This recognises Common devolution of power on secular basis and not on ethnic basis. Indian structure is  already being shared with Sri Lankans, through Hinduism & Buddhism.  Since Buddhism is healthy in Buddhists , Devolution of power to provinces also would work for Sri Lanka.
