I might need a different blog to discuss about root cause in Pakistan and one reason I want to avoid discussing about is that issues in Pakistan can not be isolated from religion.
Attack on Sri Lankan Cricket Team was a complete shock. Not like India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan has very good international relationship, on the other had its hard to find a country that doesn’t have good international relationship with Sri Lanka. I can understand LTTE targeting Sri Lankan cricket team but Pakistan terroiist attack is somewhat aberrant situation.
Differences between Pakistan and India should only kept among them and should not effect innocent Sri Lankan cricketers. Especially when they took the risk of going to living hell like Pakistan. They should also keep in mind that this tour was originally arranged between Pakistan and India but Sri Lanka came into the picture after the attack in Bombay.
Considering the fact that Sri Lanka’s good relationship with Pakistan, only conclusion that I can come up with is that Pakistan Terrorist didn’t get the Memo confirming that it was not the Indian Cricket team but Sri Lankan Cricket team individuals who were in that bus. So next time please get your facts right….
Yesterday I was watching Travis Smiley Show and I must say that Dr Palitha Kohona Foreign Secretary reminded MIA to stick with what she is really good at it which is Music. As a musician I don’t see a “WOW” factor on MIA’s music or lyrics that she writes but I will still respect her work and effort as an artist. MIA’s father is an active LTTE supporter who also happened to one of the earliest members of the LTTE group. Going back to what MIA emphasize which was genocide in Sri Lanka, Do we really have such an atmosphere in Sri Lanka?
As Dr Kohona mentioned, those who claim this Genocide in Sri Lanka should come to Colombo or any other Government control area and get an experience on how we live life in Sri Lanka. Every leading school in Sri Lanka has Tamil Medium classes. In that case, if so called Genocide exists how come leading Schools like Royal College etc has Tamil Medium class rooms which allow Sri Lankan Tamil population to have equal opportunity. As a fellow Royalist who shared my high school life with many of my Tamil friends, It is really frustrating to see people like MIA using situation in Sri Lanka to label majority of Sri Lankan population as evil.
As a Sri Lankan I always think about what a country Sri Lanka would have been if we didn’t have the war. And this is a small example that shows the potential of my great nation.
Our Circle is an organization built by group of trusted friends (We should give our thanks to the founders of Our Circle) who are determine to help raise funds, supplies and support for those in need. We all know that Sri Lankan Army is on the verge of a Victory. But we must not forget that grate victory comes along with a great sacrifisation. Our soldiers have donated their youth and life on behalf of us and our future to protect our nation from LTTE terrorists. I think it’s time for us to take care of them. If you like to be a part of Our Circle and help out in anyway you can, Please join Our Circle group in Facebook. You will be able to see current projects and detail description about Our Circle.
