They will cry in unison that the government should enter into negotiations with the LTTE, and most of them would add the condition on third party mediations. Even if one were to agree for negotiations for the sake of argument, one has to ponder on what the ultimate aim of such negotiations should be. The Tamil racism that goes back to the previous century is based on one aspiration. The aspiration is nothing but to deny the rightful place being given to the Sinhala people, the Sinhala Language, the Sinhala Culture and the Sinhala history of the country. It was to be henceforth aspirations and nationhood.
Nothing is further from the truth.
Long before 1985 the Tamil racist parties had formulated the Thimpu conditions, though may not be in the same words. In any case it has always been a case of aspirations from the very beginning. The Tamil racists, based on a mythical history in the traditions of Yalpana Vaipava Malai, and sponsored by the British, have always aspired to deny the rightful place being given to the Sinhala people. The campaign against the universal franchise by the Tamils lead by Mr. Ponnambalam Ramanathan, the 50-50 campaign spearheaded by Mr. G.G. Ponnambalam were all directed with that objective. For example consider the re-settlement of the Sinhala people in certain regions in the eastern province.
