The Britain- based Tamil group, British Tamil Forum has sought India's help for Tamils based in Northern Sri Lanka in improving their lives through a host of measures, reports Daily Mirror on June 2. Representatives of the British Tamil Forum, which claims to represent nearly 4,00,000 from the community living in the United Kingdom (UK), met officials of the Indian High Commission in London last week and sought positive measures for the Tamils who are "first Sri Lankan but do have an affinity to India"."The meeting went very well and whilst the Indian government will be keen to help in partnership with the Sri Lankan government for all such positive efforts, the point was made and unanimously applauded that peaceful and diplomatic avenues only remain our work-ethic base," said Anil Bhanot, managing director of Hindu Council UK - the charity which facilitated the meeting. Report adds that some of the suggested measures included psychological and psychiatric help for the Tamils in the region, particularly women, apparently affected during the nearly three decade-long brutal war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), besides setting up of Indian education institutions branches. They also included a bridge between Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu (India) and a northern Sri Lankan port for easier movement of goods and services and people with the appropriate controls; and a ferry service, which existed before the war, should be resumed.

A statue resembling slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Velupillai Prabakaran installed in a private temple at Therkku Poigainallur village near Velankanni in Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu (India) has caused a flutter in the locality, reports The Hindu on June 6 (today). The statue resembling Prabakaran in camouflage uniform with a horse in the background,\ was installed on the campus of the Periyachi Amman Temple built in the village recently. The temple was consecrated a few days back. The New Indian Express adds the villagers denied that there was any political motive behind erecting the statue and claimed it was only meant to impart courage for the generations to come. However, the funds for building the statue had come from residents of South Poigainallur, Velankanni and even from Malaysia. “We will comply with the law if there is any objection from the government,” the villagers said. However, Police sources said that no case has been registered so far in this connection.

In an interview, Northern Provincial Council (NPC) member Ananthy Sasistharan, wife of a senior functionary of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) claimed that her husband, Sasistharan alias Elilan surrendered to the Sri Lankan forces on the advice of Indian Member of Parliament (MP), Kanimozhi belonging to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), reports Daily Mirror on June 7. Ananthy said that “it was after his conversation with Ms. Kanimozhi in Mullivaikkal at about 8 p.m. on May 16, 2009, my husband chose to surrender himself to the forces. This is not the first time that I am saying this. So far, there has been no response from the other side. It is time Karunanidhi Ayya and Ms. Kanimozhi break their silence and tell the world who were all behind the entire episode.” When asked if her husband had any other option, she said, “He might have taken cyanide pills as he had two.” However, she said she was not aware of the instructions of the LTTE to its members in such an eventuality.

The statue of slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Veluppillai Prabakaran at a private temple at Therkku Poigainallur village near Velankanni in Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu (India) was removed before dawn on June 6, reports Colombo Page. There were literally no symptoms of the statue being installed on the premises of Sevugaraya Ayyanar and Periyachi Amman temple, which was consecrated on June 4. Police, Revenue and Intelligence officials conducted an enquiry in the village and questioned a group of organisers, who were involved in the construction and consecration of the temple. When the implications of installing a statue of leader of a banned organisation was explained to them, they agreed to remove it, Police sources said. The Hindu adds that the Velankanni Police (Tamil Nadu) have registered a case in connection with the installation of the statue. Police sources said a case was booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) on a complainant preferred by Saminathan, Village Administrative Officer of South Poigainallur in Nagapattinam District.

Vaiko also demanded that the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) to revoke the ban on the LTTE, as he claims it was an organisation that fought for the freedom of Tamils in Sri Lanka.

The controversial documentary on Sri Lanka's war against Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorists, 'No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka' has reportedly been screened in the Irish Parliament on June 10, reports Colombo Page. According to foreign media reports, Member of Irish Parliament Paul Murphy has hosted the event with the attendance of Irish MPs, the film's director Callum Macrae, exiled Sri Lankan journalist Bashana Abeywardena and investigative reporter on Sri Lanka Phil Miller. Murphy had described the film, which has been shown in the European Parliament recently as a "powerful indictment of the massacre of the Tamils in Sri Lanka at the end of the war." However, Sri Lanka has strongly rejected Macrae's documentary on alleged humanitarian law violations saying that the film contained no facts but "concocted lies, half-truths and speculations" put together to embarrass the country.

Minister of Power and Energy and Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) General Secretary Champika Ranawaka said on June 11 that the cabinet paper submitted to grant Government compensation for injured Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorists had to be withdrawn after he protested against it, reports Daily Mirror. Minister Ranawaka said “Some ministers submitted a cabinet paper proposing that the injured LTTE terrorists should be compensated by the government. I strongly objected it and it had to be withdrawn.” He also said that JHU was strongly opposed to hosting a festival of Diaspora as claimed by the Foreign Affairs Ministry and that hosting such a discussion would instigate racisms and terrorism. “There has been no discussion within the government about this. We do not think hosting such a discussion with organizations banned by the defense ministry through a gazette notification would ensure peace in the country. It is an instigation of terrorism,” Ranawaka said. He added, if this issue was to be resolved, those Tamil Diaspora organizations should accept the unitary state of the country and that such issues could not be resolved holding discussions while they were still stick to Tamil Eelam and added that it was done to achieve petty political ends.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mangala Samaraweera on June 12 told the Parliament that the once anti-Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora is likely to issue a statement renouncing violence and separatism, reports Colombo Page. Samaraweera said "As a result of our discussions (in London last weekend), and our efforts, it is most likely that the Diaspora groups which were previously hostile to Sri Lanka, would issue a declaration renouncing violence and commit themselves to working towards a united, undivided Sri Lanka." Samaraweera was giving a detailed answer to the Leader of the Opposition, Nimal Siripala de Silva, who had asked a number of questions pertaining to the meeting with the Global Tamil Forum (GTF) and a few Western peaceniks. Samaraweera denied that the issue of lifting the ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was discussed. He also denied that there was any discussion on "war crimes" and the proposed domestic mechanism to investigate charges of war crimes.

Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa on June 13 alleged that 59 Sri Lankan Army camps in the Tamil majority Northern Province were shut down by the successor Government led by President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister (PM) Ranil Wickremesinghe, reports Colombo Page. In a letter addressed to participants in a "Bring Back Mahinda Rally" at Matara District in Southern Province, Rajapaksa charged that the withdrawal had taken place at a time when ‘Eelam’ flags had reappeared in the North, indicating a revival of terrorism. He added that the present Government is compromising national security by suggesting the release of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres in custody, and holding discussions with persons like the former Norwegian Peace Envoy, Erik Solheim, who, he alleged, is trying to revive Tamil separatism.
