JAFFNA RIVER Vs 13A

 

As per Thiru  Valluvar, there is no redemption for the ungrateful. Gratitude leads to completion of experience. Completed experience is the root of Reliability.

 

As per my discovery, those who are ungrateful, but put on a show of gratitude, develop imaginary completion of experience.  That which is imaginary has no root in reality.  This influences bipolarism.

 

In Sri Lanka, politicians actively promote ethnic polarisation through false promises.

 

In his recent article ‘History of promises on language issue; politicians & 13A’, veteran journalist KKS Perera  quotes as follows:

“Politicians promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.”– Khrushchev :Premier of Russia-1958/1964.

 

On 02 August, Economy Next published a report headed-

‘Sri Lanka to start on ‘River to Jaffna’ water scheme: President’.

As per that report:

[In 1954, Engineer Arumugam, former deputy director of the Irrigation Department, proposed a River for Jaffna for the benefit of the Jaffna peninsula water resources and environment.

Over the years, the irrigation department, Mahaweli Authority, various local and foreign consultants, and international agencies have contributed to and improved the proposal. ]

 

The Sinhala Only Act was passed two years after Mr Arumugam, made the proposal. It is highly likely that Mr Arumugam used English as his Official language. The value of the law, is as per the makers’ mind. True proposals carry their own minds. Hence the proposal needs a Common candidate of Tamil origin to lead it to success.

 

Until then it would be an imaginary river under the ethnic bridge that President Wickremesinghe promised but

failed  to build.

Sajith promised to implement the 13^th Amendment in full. President Wickremesinghe is promising Jaffna River. Both are imaginary and therefore would strengthen polarisation.
