Government Minister Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias “Karuna Amman” stated that Karunanidhi is using the Tamil People to stay afloat politically. “Karunanidhi and many of the Tamil Nadu politicians are today politically bankrupt. They don’t have the backing of sincere Tamil people. They are using this rejected ideal of an Eelam to rouse the Tamil people and stay afloat politically”

Earlier Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M. Karunanidhi speaking to Indian media said that the establishing of the Tamil Eelam is his only “unrealized dream”.

Speaking further the Minister said that most Tamil people know that these so called leaders of Tamil Nadu don’t have the interest of the Tamil people at heart. “The only thing these people want is power and to this end they will sacrifice the Tamil people. How many Tamil people were killed because these so called leaders mislead them? The former Prime Minster of India was killed in Tamil Nadu itself when Karunanidhi himself was the chief Minster and even the Indian people haven’t forgotten that” he said.

Speaking on the resolution passed at the UNHRC in Geneva the Minster said that people should not panic. “People shouldn’t panic about this, even for supporting the resolution we don’t have anything against America or India, they are sovereign nations. They have made their decisions due to either internal or external political factors and we will have to respect that. But Sri Lanka doesn’t want its sovereignty impeded upon. We don’t want any outside forces dictating what should be done.

The Government has taken all efforts for speedy reconciliation and accountability. The Internal mechanisms are in place for these things and though it will take time these things will be implemented. Obviously we can’t have quick fix solutions for the problems that ravaged this country, it is a slow process and we have laid the foundations for it really well” he said.

Muralitharan also stated that the government and his Ministry have taken constructive measures towards national integration. “The people in the Wanni for the first time in 30 years have electricity, the roads are being developed and there is massive investment on infrastructure. Livelihood development has been one of the key areas we are working on and these thing will all help build lasting peace and ethnic harmony among all communities living in the country” he said.

The former Eastern Commander of the LTTE who led the breakaway faction which ultimately resulted in the military weakening of the LTTE commended the TNA on its approach. “The TNA by not going to Geneva have done the right thing. They have a lot of responsibility though because they have to understand that if they encourage intervention it is the Tamil people who will suffer first” he said. (By Hafeel Farisz)
