No, he doesn’t, given some other parts of the same speech. Addressing the Sinhalese people at a certain point during his oration Mr. Sampanthan says “The solution we propose for the achievement of our political aspiration will not undermine the sovereignty of other people. It does not hide a devious agenda seeking to divide the country.” He also says to the Sinhalese people “We have clearly asked for a solution within a united Sri Lanka, and we are committed to the achievement of such a goal”, provoking one to pose a question as to whether he tells one to the Tamils giving a totally different picture to the Sinhalese.

What Sampanthan says is clear as day light. The North and East provinces have been the traditional homeland of the Thamils before foreign conquest. Now Thamils wants autonomy to rule over that traditional homeland within a united Sri Lanka, in other words exercising the right of internal self-determination. If this demand fails then the Thamils will ask for external self-determination with the help of the international community. The Thamils are not asking for division of the country. A Thamil Kingdom existed for several centuries. What Thamils demand is the restoration of that Thamil Kingdom and Thamil sovereignty lost to foreigners, but usurped by the majority Sinhalese at the time of independence. It is simple as that.

In other words, what he is saying is, Our target is a federal state, we will achieve our target with the help of our IC freinds. Unlike Prabhakaran we will not do anything to embarass the IC but do everyrhing possible to convince them that we deserve our target and will be patient until they succeed in achieving it for us.

what you say is utter bullshit, the tamil kingdom that was there in the north and east was put there by the pandyans and later ruled by a malayan prince before it was reverted back to a pandyan chakravarti for about 2 hundred years, so this was not an independent kingdom but a vassal state of pandya, an indian kingdom. so there is no justification for a tamil kingdom when the singhalese have layed claim to the whole island for over 2000 years. I am a muslim, and i hate sinhalese and tamil nationalism, all i want is a united sri lanka. so stop your separatist justifications.

what’s is wrong to get help from your neighbor if your own brother resist to provide the equal freedom?
This reminds me of the true facts about the behavior of SriLankan dogs. If you have two dogs and give them food in two different plates. They fight for one plate leaving other the powerful one doesn’t allow the younger one for her share. What happens , the neighbor’s dog get a free go.
