KP urges Diaspora to stop campaign
Chief arms procurer of the LTTE KP yesterday called on the Tamil Diaspora to stop their campaign that provokes anger and hatred.
Kumaran Pathmanathan, the former chief arms procurer now heads the North East Rehabilitation and Development Organisation (NERDO)
“I think talking about Channel 4 as a means of revenge is absurd. I plead to the Tamil Diaspora to stop their campaign that provokes anger and hatred. They have to know the reality. We must live in peace,” he said in an interview with the Daily Mirror in Mullaitivu.
“There are different groups amongst them. They (The Diaspora) are in dark. They are completely ignorant and gullible. They believe Prabhakaran is alive and an armed struggle is to start soon.
“Some Tamil Nadu politicians and a section of Tamil Diaspora are spearheading this campaign of falsehood to hoodwink the expatriates.
“I call upon the Tamil Diaspora to see about our people living in poverty. Have these extremists and those who are in the forefront of a vicious campaign against the government done anything for these people or children? It is a clear case of duplicity when they say they are speaking for the society while doing nothing to mitigate the suffering of these children.”
Mr. Pathmanathan met the Daily Mirror at an orphanage run by the NERDO in Muththaiyankattu in Mullaitivu.
When asked about the role of India in formulating a political solution in Sri Lanka he said: “This is an internal problem. We are blundering again and again. We run to India for everything. This is a historical blunder.
“I think, the majority of the people have a fear. We must understand this. There are ten million Sinhalese in Sri Lanka while 60 million Tamils are in Tamil Nadu. They are afraid that the Tamils in Tamil Nadu could overrun Sri Lanka. We should not fuel this fear. We should not run to India complaining over minor matters. In Tamil Nadu people like Seeman, Vaiko, and Nedumaran make fiery speeches that can provoke the majority.
This should be stopped. “India is doing its maximum. India would not go further than this and propose a solution. So this should be understood by the responsible people.” (By A.P. Mathan in Mullaitivu)

This man was the “settapochchi” man’s left testicle. He wants power to himself to mislead all and sundry to commence killing fields again.
Poda madaya, I wish someone would take him to the gallows.
This idiot is now the friend of the Blue Brothers and he is waiting for a chance to screw them.
Poda madaya, neeyum “settapochchi” soon.
No guru you should not say like that, human can commit mistake by been darkness and human can correct those mistake been brightness with the Wright direction in a good manner and i don’t think Mr.MR or Mr.GR not know about KP or those with GOV,I think KP know if he cultivate chili he cant harvest Beans. Any one committed crime will be furnish by nature we don’t need to worry, let him run and see what is he doing
Every time when we object for every thing we will be same as JVB cricketers.
Mangala. Have you ever heard the saying ‘A leopard never changes its spots” Come on man. First Karuna who killed so many innocent people not forgetting Buddhist monks. Now it is KP. I wish we can show a bit more compassion to our own people and forgive and forget and live in harmony.I understand that we must have more tamil people involved in the journey ahead but people like Karuna & KP???.
Guru is correct to state that he will be waiting for a chance to screw the leaders of this country. I sincerely hope they know what they are doing but they better watch their backs 24/7.
If you think guru is correct you’re correct but for me both of your not correct because I know what will happen to them
If they move from GOV net. And Mr. will not make the same mistake of Mr. Keep in your mind
If someone is worried about death of Buddhist monks because he/she is a real Buddhist and sadened by the deaths, then he/she will not be persuing hatred and will be ready to forgive the enemy. Angulimala story is one good example.
On the other hand if someone is crying about deaths of Buddhist monks for the sake of political advantage rather than being a real buddhist, then they will call for never ending hatred.
This is how you recognise people’s real intentions.
Manjula, It is got nothing to do with hatred or revenge. It the choice of the people selected to heal the wounds of war that is the concern. It is like trying to get the devil on to your side. You have to be like the devil to kill so many innocent people. Only people who are as evil as the devil can kill so many people without any guilt.Are you so naive to think that these people like Karuna and K.P had a change of heart because they want to be nice people. If you think that way I am very sorry for you. So if that is the case how come we can not forgive some of the people who’s only crime was to voice their opinion. Why cant we good Buddists and forgive them as well.
