The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) applauds the UN’s move to appoint a panel to investigate the violations of human rights and humanitarian laws in the island of Sri Lanka. We regard the UN Secretary General’s decision to appoint the panel as a crucial step towards bringing justice to the victims of human rights abuses that occurred during the last months of the armed conflict in the island of Sri Lanka.

The large-scale violations of international human rights and humanitarian law during the final stages of the war led to the death of many thousands of innocent Tamils in northern Sri Lanka. The perpetrators of these violations have yet to be held accountable for their actions. The appointment of this independent panel rightly rejects the Government of Sri Lanka’s attempts to whitewash any breaches of international law by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide and serves as a deterrent to other states to apply the so called Sri Lankan option for national conflicts.

TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENTS THE WAY FORWARD

I do not understand why a country like India is worried about the concept of transnational governments. If Multinational corporations are allowed to operate as Transnational Corporations providing goods and services why not a body politic taking over the social and cultural need of a community? What other forms of mechanism is available to protect the numerically small minorities?

India must grow up to free its people from feudalism and living standard disparities. Why does it bother India if the Tamil brethren in various part of the world want to provide minimum basic living facilities to people in South India? Either they should go it or let some one else do it. The request to India is if you don’t want us to do it, you do it. All we are trying do is to equalise the disparity in the standard of living. No one is interested in diving India unless the Indian people feel that they are being marginalized. That is why India has to grow up. You cannot have it both ways. Either let the people go or let the people be free. Human freedom must be translated into Human rights, if not it is bound to fail. Every citizen must have equal right to his freedom within parameters set by the people themselves…………… read more

TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND MINORITIES WORLD OVER

Hither to minority people in nations have to live with social disgrace and social disparity. They were not allowed into certain social,cultural and economic circles. They were living a lower standard of living while slaving for the majority. Man is still an animal. But good news is we Tamils have just invented a system called Transnational Government. The purpose of these governments is to gather enough mass and velocity to create momentum force. Due to its shear size and economic capacity sometime exceeding a few nations can democratically mount world class propaganda for social justice and parity. The world cannot prosper with so many millions not free. Man has to move away from racial and religious categorization into econimically self sustaining communties. Race and religion are the tools of the narcissitic and lazy people…………. read more

The politics of transnational Tamil Eelam Government

A significant event in Tamil transnational politics occurred a fortnight ago in historic Philadelphia city in the US state of Pennsylvania. About 70 -75 persons gathered on Monday May 17th for a three-day conclave. The venue was the National Convention Center situated on Philadelphia’s Independence Mall at 525 Arch Street.

Both the dates and location were symbolically significant. It was in Mid-May last year that the Sri Lankan Armed Forces defeated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militarily at the Karaithuraipatru AGA division in the North – Eastern district of Mullaitheevu…….   read more

Tamil diaspora divided over “Transnational Govt”: Karun

Tamil diaspora divided over “Transnational Govt”: Karuna

• Karuna said that the diaspora had broken into three groups – US-based Visvanathan Rudrakumar, Norway-based Nediyavan and a London-based group.
• TGTE is “another pipe dream like Vellupillai Prabhkaran’s Eelam.”
• The Minister asserted the Tamil diaspora will not return to Sri Lanka and should create issues for their survival abroad.

Karuna, a former top Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) commander who is now a Sri Lankan Minister has said the Tamil diaspora is divided and had conflicting views on the so-called ‘Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam’.

The Tamil diaspora cannot make a significant impact internationally as it faces internal dissension and is now divided into three segments, Deputy Minister of Resettlement Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman said. Amman split from LTTE towards the end of 2004 following differences with Velupillai Prabhakaran and formed the Tamil Makkal Vituthai Pulligal (TMVP).

In March last year, he quit TMVP and joined President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s Sri Lanka Freedom Party and was subsequently appointed its vice-president. Amman said that the diaspora had broken into three groups – US-based Visvanathan Rudrakumar, Norway-based Nediyavan and a London-based group. They had conflicting ideas about the proposed ‘Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE)’…. read more
