Sri Lanka: A question for Mr Anandasangaree

Wednesday, 28 November 2007

A reader of SiberNews sent this question to be addressed to Mr Anandasangaree, leader of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF). We and our readership would much appreciate an answer from the veteran politician.

Dear Mr Anandasangaree, You often repeat the claim that once upon a time, when free and fair elections were conducted in Sri Lanka, you were elected as Member of Parliament from the Kilinochchi district.

Could you kindly remind us, on what platform did you campaign to be elected?

If my memory serves me correctly, after all I am a native of Kilinochchi who voted for you, you campaigned on a single issue; namely the creation of an independent state of Tamil Eelam.

As a veteran politician, I am sure, you know for well that policies and not individuals are elected by the people. Once upon a time, your policies resonated with the masses, and you were elected as Member of Parliament.

What makes you think, that the masses who favoured your policy of independent Tamil Eelam, would have all of a sudden changed their minds as you did, and back your new policy of a federal state of Tamil Eelam?

Sincerely,

Set as favorite

I don't understand why this guy is even in the news and why people are paying attention to this guy? He is an old fart counting his days to hell. Really, who the hell is he? He is a boot licking dog who is feeding off the left overs left by SL government and pissing on his own grave along with Douglas D. These guys are like third grade bastards. No moral or ethical values at all. No stand or views....just rumble when Rajapakse says...her is kitty kitty...here we go...here is a traet for you... then they mouth off with utter nonsense.

"They do not know any other way and apply this principle to rule every one," he explained.

He categorically stated that Tamil media must stop glorifying the LTTE and their terrorist acts at once.

Sangaree charged that some Tamil media are speaking for the LTTE and they seem to enjoy a kind of media freedom which no other media in the country enjoy.

"I do not know why some media are saying that the Government is suppressing media freedom when they can see the kind of freedom the Tamil media in the country are enjoying," he said.

Referring to an example Sangaree said that he saw a certain news item in a Tamil newspaper which said that the security forces was responsible for the deaths due to a recent claymore mine explosion which had taken place in a location close to Kilinochchi.

Eleven persons died in the explosion including students.

Sangaree said that since he was an MP from that area, he very well knew no one but LTTE cadres roamed in that area.

"How can the Army bury a claymore mine in an area where they do not go?," Sangaree asked.

Means they(LTTE) done it themselves.
