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 13th Amendment
in full. President Wickremesinghe is promising Jaffna River. Both are imaginary
and therefore would strengthen polarisation.
