Government Escorts Terrorists Daya Master to Colombo

Sociey for Peace, Unity and Human Rights for Sri Lanka (SPUR Inc) strongly condemns the action taken by the Government to get Daya Master the LTTE terrorist and the criminal who planned the deaths of thousands of defense personnel and unarmed innocent civilians, to Colombo for urgent medical treatment. The fact that Daya Master had to seek medical treatment in Colombo show that the LTTE terrorists too want to live long as possible and they do not want to face an untimely death like their claymore mine and suicide bomb victims. Will he yet realizes the value of a human life in his death bed? Would the government provide similar transport facilities to an ordinary Tamil/ Sinhalese or a Muslim civilian suffering from similar heart condition, currently living in N & E on humanitarian grounds? Our own service personnel who fight for the territorial integrity of the country do not get this VIP treatment. Then, why  special treatment for Daya Master who is a known criminal and a terrorist?

It was few years ago that former President Chandrika acted in the same manner to send Anton Balasingham to Norway for urgent medical treatment when India bluntly refused to accept him for treatment. He now gives orders from UK along with Prabhakaran to massacre innocent civilians in Sri Lanka. Daya Master once recovered will act the same way.

SPUR  requests the Government who have let down the law abiding citizens of Sri Lanka through this act of folly to keep Daya Master under arrest after the medical treatment and insist the LTTE to release following , if they need Daya Master back;

(1) All  security personnel including the Police Officer under their illegal custody;

(2) All members of PLOTE and EPDP under their illegal custody;

(3) 1,358  innocent Tamil children recruited as child soldiers.

If the Government, the Norwegians and the do gooders in the NGO front cannot get the LTTE to realize the value of human lives, the Sri Lankans have only to blame themselves by being suckers to LTTE terrorism over and over.  The Government should take the full responsibility of any future killings of innocent civilians in the North and East masterminded by Daya master in the event of his recovery and goes back to Wanni to continue with their killing machine.

Appeasing the Terrorists to the Point of Self Immolation

SPUR, NSW deplores in no uncertain terms, the act to provide protection and facilities to key terrorist Daya Master to seek medical treatment in Colombo by the President of Sri Lanka. Rather than allowing contact with the President elected by the people of Sri Lanka , the proverbial cyanide pill should have been recommended to Daya Master, which he would normally force down on his child soldiers in similar circumstances.

This recent act of appeasement is most harmful due to the confusion it inflicts on the national psyche, and the additional mortgage impost on our own sovereignty. At each of these stages the grovelling process, the patient becomes weaker and weaker. Sri Lanka ’s leaders have bent backwards to appease the terrorists, in the past years. This particular act of compassion takes the cake, at a time when innocent sons and daughters of Lanka are being brutalised at every turn, by the LTTE terrorists themselves. In return for this act of compassion the terrorists rewarded Sri Lanka with the killing two valiant soldiers, and also planted Claymore bombs for the Government Spokesman and Senior Minister Keheliye Rambukwelle.

Considering the illustrious sovereign history of Lanka, the periods leaders remain in power is relatively short. At each stage of these appeasement stages, as a nation, we add one more grievous injury the nation’s wounds, and the fatal bleeding resumes. What we see today is the enemy’s strategy of psychological warfare, willingly adopted by a government for its own self-immolation. The Tamil Tiger terrorists are well known not only to our nation, but the world over as the most brutal. Daya Master is one of the key persons operating this brutal piece of machinery, killing and maiming innocents at every turn.

The confusion caused by our nation’s camaraderie with the terrorist partner, has now gathered momentum. To some, the enemy need to be an equal warrior before being put down. First, give the terrorists equal status to a government elected democratically, and in turn, receive only abuse and no negotiations, send them round the world at the level of diplomats, allow the sacrifice of the freedom of the resident Tamils, Muslims in the North and the East, allow the Sinhalese to be systematically and ethnically cleansed, give helicopter joyrides, allow two airfields, allow weapons and airplanes to be imported, allow wireless and TV transmissions, allow the collection of taxes, outsource the running of government machinery in the North and the East to the terrorists, allow the decimation of our nations intelligence and defence personnel. The list is almost endless.  

The worst had been the management incompetence at the highest level to lose military weapons, by the debacles of Mullativu, Kilinochchi and Elephant Pass.   

Since the ceasefire agreement, our sovereign nation has been getting ready to surgically cut its own self up. If the earlier conflict years killed and maimed the dedicated sons of the nation, the ceasefire agreement will ensure the confusion of the national psyche, and the doom of the nation itself.

We strongly appeal to the Nation’s leaders to cut down the rhetoric and the show, and to get down to business of safeguarding the very existence of the Nation.
