WOULD MODI/NDA SUPPORT SUBRAMANIA SWAMY’S ‘SAVE THE RAJAPAKSE’ FROM THE UNHRC’S GENOCIDE INVESTIGATIONS TO ALLOW THE TOTAL EXTINCTION OF EELAM TAMILS?
The remarkable progress of the UNHRC’s investigations into the SL genocide crimes is attributable to the professionalism of the UNHRC office. It rattled the Rajapakses and most of his lobbyists and apologists attempting to sabotage the UNHRC investigations of the SL genocide. The UNHRC has ample evidence on the killings of Eelam Tamils, their torture, humiliation, dispossession of their lands and livelihood and massive displacements of Tamils to cause floods of refugees from their habitat creating both internal and overseas refugees. Reacting, the enlightened international community opted to intervene and bring SL to account for its genocide, face penal consequences before justice is delivered to the genocide victims. The Rajapakses had the enthusiastic support of Sonia and South Block to use deceits to frustrate UNHRC’s efforts to enforce accountability for the SL genocide on the Eelam Tamils.
To counter the progress of the UNHRC’s crimes project an alarmed Rajapakses signed up groups of lobbyists, apologists, mercenaries, arms dealers and others from different backgrounds worldwide to strengthen the ‘save the Rajapakses’ campaign to completely wipe out the Eelam Tamils’ from the face of Eelam. The xenophobic SL rulers and its army of apologists to justify the continuing genocide initially denied any crimes were committed yet the apologists earned for the Rajapakses a five years reprieve (during the UPA’s five years tenure) since the end of the war in May 2009. SL invested heavily in a public relations campaign to triviliase the harm that SL inflicted on the victims of the genocide and applauds the SL folklore reconciliation and reconstruction works allegedly benefitting the Eelam Tamils.
In denying the genocide charges the Sonia/South Block underworld enthusiastically joined the ‘save the Rajapakse’ campaign demonizing the Tamil resistance (LTTE) with stories about their brutality. These totally failed impress the human rights organizations and most sections of the independent media. The Sonia/South block collaborators contributed the most to the SL genocide wiping out almost half the Eelam Tamils (killings using massacres, and oppression to drive out Eelam Tamils from their historical habituation in the North and East of SL) and committing as much or more of Rajapakses genocide crimes.
To complement the massive amount of credible evidence available in the public domain, the UNHRC’s efforts to seek direct confirmation from victims of the crimes, SL, Sonia/South Block ganged up to use visa regulations to outrageously refuse visas to the UNHRC investigators, also intimidates potential witnesses and uses breeds of phony lobbyists, apologists and media houses to produce incredible stories be-littleing the genocide atrocities.
Whether justice to the Eelam Tamils is delivered through the UNHRC mechanism will depend on more and more morality driven members supporting the UNHRC mission. The reputed Modi/NDA Delhi falls within this class of morality driven members unlike the Sonia/South Block tribe that supports SL in sabotaging UNHRC’s investigative work. The keenness of Sonia/South Block Delhi to sabotage UNHRC investigations is attributed to the Rajapakses using a ‘in the loop’ alibi to implicate Sonia/South Block in the SL genocide which is also a dilemma for Modi/NDA Delhi.
Modi on his electoral triumph had mobs of hangers-on (Subramania Swamy and Swapan, Chari and others) keen to join The Modi camp and come up with lucrative stories claiming to act as spokesmen of Modi/NDA and basically denying and or belittling the harshness of the SL genocide and praising the bogus SL post May 2009 reconstruction and reconciliation works benefitting the Eelam Tamils, the genocide victims. These hirelings of the Rajapakses also had the support of SL apologists notably Charles S Perera, Shenali Waduge, Rohan Gunaratne, the Defense Secretary’s office all denying the SL crimes and challenging the UNHRC to prove that the Rajapakses committed the SL genocide crimes..
Accordingly the ‘save the Rajapakses’ gang went back 70 years of SL history to explain the logic for the recurrent SL violence. It is common knowledge that the ‘Sinhala Only’ Act undoubtedly led to regular Sinhala Buddhist mob violence (Gal Oya, repeated riots in Colombo 1965, 1969, 1973, 1983 until the LTTE put an end to them) on the E Tamils fighting for Tamil rights following the Sinhala Only legislation. The Shenali story gradually gets shriller in her ‘Sinhala only ..Tamil rights” and the validity of calling Sinhala/Buddhists extremists in SL” Eurasia 17 Jan 2013. Swami repackages the Shenali story elevating it to the new Modi doctrine in Swamy’s (Defense Seminar) ‘save the Rajapakses’ speech on 21 August 2014. A summary of Swamy’s another speech also appeared in the ‘onlanka.com; ‘lessons from Dr subramania swamy to sri lankas minority tamils’. According to Swamy the new ‘Modi doctrine’ urges Tamils to become stakeholders of the Sri Lankan nation…not to think themselves as separatists ..expecting and appealing to external parties (India) to come to their aid’. Most readers would have observed Subrammania Swamy using Shenali’s phraseology.
In essence the new Modi doctrine of Swamy is intended to urge the Tamils to abandon their fight for non – existent Tamil rights, stop constantly complaining about Tamil rights and losing their stakeholder status in the SL nation by thinking themselves needlessly as separatists. Swamy ‘also acknowledged that India under Modi like Sonia is happy ..with Sonia’s decision to ‘fight the LTTE to its end ..to provide ‘security for India’.
In her piece importantly Shenali questions that when Tamil was never used in governance during colonial rule and even during post independence, how can Tamils claim this right at all. Further the anti-Tamil apologist Swamy also observed derisively how the Tamils constantly complaining about the denial of Tamil usage were studying English along with their Sinhala counterparts. How much more cruel could a Swamy be towards the suffering SL genocide victims, the Tamils. Do these Shenali/Swamy statements have historical substance? For both Shenali/Swamy to claim that SL gained independence at the same time to claim that Tamil was not but only Sinhala was used in governance explaining the reason for the Sinhala only ACT of 1955. Thereafter the Tamils began complaining of discrimination leading the frequent and repeated eruption of Sinhala/Buddhist attacks on the Tamils.
Though Shenali’s theorises to delink the Sinhala only act from the frequent unleashing of Sinhala/Buddhist violence on the Tamils, Swamy elevates Shenali’s violent attacks on the Tamils not as ethnic but linguistic attacks. Accordingly to the prejudiced rabid anti-Tamil Swamy the comparable 13 Amendment type provisions written into the Indian constitution do not find a place in solutions Swamy prescribes in his new Modi model he prescribes for Modi/NDA. Swamy was easily indoctrinated by Shenali to become a quick convert to the ‘save the Rajapakses’ campaign to quickly recite his mantra that the Rajapakse crimes are not genocide crimes to urge MODI/NDA not to support the UNHRC’s SL crimes investigations. Swamy is a frequent visitor/flyer to Colombo who boasts about his positions in the Modi/NDA regime especially as Chairman of BJP’s Committee for Strategic Action. Sheshadai (RSS) and Swapan Dasgupta who joined the delegations to SL claimed also to commit the Modi/ NDA government to Swamy’s Modi’s new policy of saving the Rajapakses’ required that the Indian model of ‘devolving powers to provinces like under the 13 Amendment had to be abandoned (Deccan Chronicle, Jun 2014). G L Peiris who with Rajapakse attended Modi’s PM swearing in June 2014 explained that the 13 amendment though it was in the Indo-Lanka Accord and in SL’s statute books ‘cannot be implemented’.
On this basis an analysts in Outlook India 28 Aug 2014..argued that SL being a unitary state..had no minorities and the 13 amendment..according to Chari..was the product of a particular situation that existed in1987 and in the changed circumstances it should be abandoned!’. While Swamy always acted that he had Modi’s mandate to deal with Lankan affairs, and this led to another candid analyst in Outlook to describe Swamy as a BJP’s ‘strategy chief’ running amok in his self appointed roles as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the SL rulers..’
According to the grapevine though Modi/NDA was unlikely to tamely accept the Rajapakse’s threat to Sonia/South Block for the ‘in the loop’ complicity in the SL genocide as valid arguments apparently Swamy could only point to his acting as the go between Sonia and Modi and save both Rajapakse and Sonia over the SL genocide crimes. The Indians voted overwhelming that Modi/NDA distances itself from Sonia/South Block odour while Swamy was showing a Sonia bias his Indo-SL prescriptions.
The day after Swamy spoke in the Defense seminar in Colombo in August and began to pontificated on what the Tamils should do, ‘give up Tamil/TNA negativity’ to join the efforts of the ‘save the Rajapakses’ to achieve a political solution to the SL question. According to the New Indian Express reports all Swamy’s verbiage at the Defense Seminar were almost totally different to what transpired at the meeting of Modi’s core cabinet the very next day in Modi’s office between TNA officials and Modi/Sushma/Indian foreign minister effectively repudiating Swamy’s commitments to SL as representative of the Modi/NDA regime. According to the New Indian Express 10 September New Delhi had reiterated its commitment that it stood solidly behind TNA in its objective to get substantial autonomy in Tamil areas. On the 13th Amendment Modi urged all stakeholders in a gesture of goodwill to constructively engage to find a political solution on the basis of the 13th Amendment? All what Swamy says and how Modi acts were contradictory. Subramania Swamy on the day of his Defense address reportedly stated that the PM will not meet the TNA delegation without the approval of the SL government, but Swamy’s statements on SL issue and the TNA meet the next day were far off the mark. In effect the TNA visit was an important milestone in India’s Modi SL policy’.
According to reports on the reconstruction and reconciliation works in SL, Swamy attempts to make a case for Modi/NDA to change over from the Sonia/South Block SL/China appeasement stance, Modi/NDA has not broached this subject thus far. In the Defense Seminar Swami apparently agreed with Shenali over the Tamils continually complaining about what is not given and..what cannot be given; looking all issues from the lens of rights..? with majority in SL uniting and reducing the problem of the minority into irrelevance. The external players that preyed upon the minorities for their own agenda (does he refer to India) under the Swami’s new Modi/India path the Modi measures should only take in those in India’s (first) interests and not bow down to parochial TN interests. Are they?
On the re-opening of the railway line to Jaffna recently built on total Indian funding the SL hype was that it was essentially SL’s reconciliation/reconstruction work for the benefit of Eelam Tamils. The SL’s approach down plays Delhi‘s contribution to Eelam Tamils’ hardships. This is bound to hurt Modi/NDA’s India first sensitivities.
Likewise when the Rajapakses built at a great speed all the roads to the North and East most funded by non-SL sources the Rajapakses claimed that they were essentially projects to provide improved facilities for the SL military occupying forces not reconstruct the damage caused to Eelam Tamil civilian assets who still mostly live under tin sheds The sinister Rajapakese approach shows how inconsiderate is SL to Delhi’s interests when Chinese sub-marines were allowed to dock in for long periods also in the Colombo harbor and to sneakily prowl in the Palk seas, both major security threats to India especially in India’s soft ‘underbelly’.
At the PM’s in-auguration function of the railway line north to Jaffna SL also leaked the Rajapakses’ plans to replicate a major Hambantota Chinese military presence in the Delft island (another Katchchativu threat) in the vicinity of TN. This is where the South Block’s treachery works to appease the Rajapakses and Sonia/South Block, Swamy and Rajapakses’ lobbyists/apologists taunting the China card to tame Modi/NDA into not pursuing support for the UNHRC genocide investigations and keep the SL/China friendship intact to keep the western powers from interfering in the affairs of the Indian oceon region.
Instead of inaction to face the threat to India’s soft underbelly that perhaps does not unnerve a Swamy like apologists; will a Modi/NDA pursuing the Sethu Samudra project be sufficient to stall joint growing joint China/SL threat to completing the menacing encirclement of India from all sides.
