The following is the letter of Gnanakone, a smuggler live in Australia, who happened to be the same low caste KARAYAN of Prabhakaran. He support LTTE by giving shipping to smuggle GUNS as well as drugs. This Christian convert never speak TAMIL but he speak SINHALA well! ---------------------------------------------------------- A comment from Subidcham also published here ---------------------------------------------------------- Jayantha Gnanakone Says He Did Not Attack EROS Nesan Jayantha Gnanakone in a letter to the editor claims that his criticism on EROS Nesan had been misstated by The Independent newswire.
"My criticism about this young boy 22-23 year EROS NESAN has been misstated in a misleading way by the " Independent web site", and recycled by Infolanka. Neither have I attacked this boy, who is a son of an old friend of mine. Strangely, some of his statements are also carried by a foreign website which releases exclusive statements of another Tamil quisling group which is a para military force in Sri Lanka. The portrayal of this young boy as a leader of EROS is very misleading to the readers. That is unfair by any means. Don't abuse the internet nor exacerbate the existing ethnic crises any further. I never used or use derogatory terms on any one when I write on public matters. I am an buttistant editor of a website. Eelam Nation. I would strongly suggest they act in a responsible manner," Jayantha Gnanakone said.
"I questioned this boy's age, education and qualifications. That is all. If that is derogatory, so be it. It is improper for misstate letters, and facts with editor's own spin as in the case of Independent. That is why they are known to be irrational.
As for JG being Pro LTTE, - FYG I am pro Tamil. LTTE has been accepted by the Singhala Government as the Sole Representatives of the Tamils, and is a legitimate and reconized organization in Sri Lanka. So one can argue if they are supportive of the Tamils that person is Pro LTTE. Too Bad !. So is the TRO a recognized NGO in Sri Lanka. TRO is not like JVP nor does it have any violent history of 3 decades, like the JVP. It is nothing but immaturity for the foreign minister Samaraweera to state and request that TRO should be banned in the USA. How petty and childish can one get?
Denying the UN Secretary General, and other UN Leaders, Japan's envoy, Former US Presidents,World Bank, IMF, and ADB representatives to visit Killinochchi (Vanni), and have contact with the Sole representatives of the Tamils only shows the immaturity of the GOSL. Unable to face the ground reality in the global sense the GOSL attempts to "back stab" the Tamils as a whole. Similarly the Foreign Minister was sent to Hong Kong by the President, to backstab the Minister of International Development and Peace envoy, Erik Solheim. Thereafter, all the ate "humble pie".
With this kind of conduct, kidnapping of Tamil NGO's and Montessori Teachers, thereafter harbutting the released "girls" ( Pre School Teachers) at the Batticaloa Police station, is nothing but STATE TERRORISM, which the GOSL would be well advised not to practice, if they genuinely wish to negotiate the CFA implementation and later discuss "Temporary Peace" with the Sole representatives of the Tamils. In the unlikely event, they succeed then both parties can discuss a permanent solution.
OUTRAGED MUSLIMSMuslim outrage huh?! OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights: OUTRAGED MUSLIMS This litany...
It is unfortunate what is happening in Sri Lanka. There are no words to describe it anymore. At this rate there is no way there could be a peaceful resoltuion to the "ethnic and racial conflict". GOSL can only fool a few people all the time, and another few people some of the time saying there is a person problem in Sri Lanka. It is high time they get matured and grow up to global realities. Foreigners are more interested in the strategic buttets and natural resources of Sri Lanka, and do not really have the wellfare of the Tamils, Singhalese, or Muslims in mind. They will do whatever is best for their own countries. However, all Sri Lankans should appreciate the efforts of Norway, without publicly disgracing themselves," Jayantha Gnanakone further added.
Editor's note: - The Independent newswire that stands for a secular pluralistic and democratic society respect the rights of Mr. Gnanakone's to express his perspectives. However, The Independent had recorded copy of the email sent my Mr. Gnanakone calling EROS leader Nesan Thirunesan as a "puppy"," "little boy" and other terms. We also invite Tamil expatriates to email their perspectives on the comments of Mr. Gnanakone ---------------------------------------------------- A Subidcham Comment
Jayantha Gnanakone goes stark staring bonkers
Dear Mr Gnanakone: The young boy you refer is much, much older than the children captured and kidnapped for the fighting cadres of the LTTE. 22-23 year EROS Nesan is the same age Prabhakaran was when Mayor Alfred Durayappa was buttbuttinated July 1975. Most of the Tiger dissolution planters were of the same age or even younger.
Educational Qualifications: Well, well, surely Mr Gnanakone you will not wish us to go into detail about the educational qualifications of Prabhakaran, Pottu Amman, Thamilselvan, Pulithevan et al. If you add up all their grades, one may barely reach 10. We are dealing here with dropouts Mr Gnanakone.
Which Tamil is not a pro-Tamil? Are your children - hoping that that you have children - going to school in Valvetbreasturai or Wanni? What is the difference between a Tamil and a Pro-Tamil? Do you, Mr Gnanakone, have a problem being a Tamil?
You seem very obsessed with "sole representation" a position the LTTE wants to validate through means undemocratic and by threats and intimidation. You are also not appreciative of the fact that there is a struggle to avoid war which the LTTE has been hell bent on provoking and the Government of Sri Lanka have been quite committed to peace.
This is not the time to score points but to reach out to each other placing the interests of all the people of Sri Lanka as paramount to the welfare of the country.
As Editor of Elam Nation on foreign soil, people like you who purport to support peace in Sri Lanka are in reality stirring up emotions to keep the ethnic crisis violent and alive. Most other issues you have raised are immaterial and of no importance for any further comment.
