அமிர்தலிங்கம், யோகேஸ்வரனின் நினைவு தினம் யாழில் அனுஷ்டிப்பு

I don’t know how many times this has to be repeated. The only reason Rajaduari had to switch to UNP was that he got caught misusing the banking appointments given away through the MPs. He had his quota and he was charging Rs1k per job. On top of that he started printing fake application forms to collect money from his innocent constituents on the promise of finding them bank jobs. JR held him hostage to this and he had no choice but to join the govt. The other choice was going to the jail.
Probably Amir had an axe to grind too. While they were on house arrest during the Satyagraha time he has tried to misbehave with Mangaiyatkarasi. He was caught by Amir and Naganathan and they have bashed him ten and there.
His faith in Sai is another laugh. When he was minister for Hindu Cultural affairs he was once scheduled to visit Jaffna. The staff had done all the arrangements with GA Jaffna with security escort etc. Just about when the convoy was to start from Colombo he had said that he needs to make a prayer to Sai and after a short while he had come out and told that the trip had to be cancelled. The bewildered staff were told Sai was not giving permission for him to to proceed. Doesn’t this sound familiar to folks who have known him ? Have you heard how he used to trick the country people who came to see him in his office in Colombo. That a story for another day.
Do you remember the Thali for his daughter’s wedding was materialized by Sai. The folks who know better of the frauds like Sais can relate to this.
I cannot think of any good politician from the East. May be Nailliah master and Devanayagam did some good if not the best. Rajan was the dirtiest of all. I don’t have to tell how he gang raped a teacher from Kallar with his gas station rowdies on Kalldy beach and left her naked to be rescued by local fishermen in the wee hours of the morning. In other countries he would have been jailed for a long time but being the rich man’s son he escaped. Honesty was always lacking in the politicians from the East. Very few had good education even in those days. This was a popular joke about Rajadurai and Ethirmannasingam ( Paddiruppu ), they are both sitting through a debate in the parliament in English. One asks the other what was being debated about. The other one tells not to worry since they can read about it in the Virakesari the following day !
Sri, do not even think of defending Rajadurai. He was a talented speaker and knowledgeable in Tamil literature. His speeches were meaningless but the speech itself sounded great to the masses. He was a self-centered man who made his wealth in politics and had his children sent to overseas. That is all his achievement. His contributions to the Federal Party in the early days is has to be admired. That’s all.

You call this an achievement? Ok Nalliah master got the EPMC. CR? I cannot think of much, may be that fine arts school in Kallady. Any time of the day I wouldn’t mind throwing a rotten egg at him..

I am willing to forgive and forget as long as these germs stay away from the public eye.

கொண்டாட்டங்கள் உலகம் எங்குமே ஊற்றெடுக்கின்றன. அவை உயிர்களின் அழிவுக்குப் பாதை வகுக்குமாக இருந்தால் மாற்றுவழி தேடவேண்டும். இலங்கையில் வடவர் புகுத்திய கொண்டாட்டங்களைப் பின்பற்றி தமிழர் கற்றுக்கொண்ட பாடங்கள் அழிவையே தந்தது. ஈழத்தமிழர் போராட்டங்கள் அழிவதற்கு வேறுபல காரணங்கள் இருப்பினும், பெரும்பான்மையான இலங்கைத் தமிழர்களின் கொண்டாட்டங்கள், தீண்டத்தகாதவன், மேட்டுக்குடி, தாழ்ந்தகுடி என்ற பாகுபாடுகளையும், சாதிப்பிரிவுகளையும் ஏற்படுத்தி உரிமைப் போராட்டங்கள் அழிவதற்கு காரணமான மிக முக்கிய பாத்திரங்களில் ஒன்றாக அமைந்து துணையோயுள்ளது. அது போராட்டங்களை அழித்து, போராடியவர்களை அழித்து, எஞ்சியிருப்பவர்களும் அழிவதற்கு இன்றும் தன் பங்கை வகித்து வருகிறது.
