(Lanka-e-News- 16.Oct.2014, 11.30PM) The European court of justice (ECJ) has delivered a verdict today which is unfavorable to the Rajapakse regime which is treading a racist path taking refuge under the LTTE phobia while preparing for the Presidential elections that is in the offing.
The ECJ has removed the LTTE name from the list subject to a six months judicial examination. However the proscription applying to the LTTE still stands.
The attention of the judges were drawn by lawyers for LTTE to the case heard in Indian courts which they argued was unfair ; the LTTE did not engage in any terrorist activities after the war ; and no unlawful activities took place in the European union (EU), they pointed out.
The lawyers pointed out to court that the Rajapakse regime is unrelentingly violating the fundamental rights of the Tamil people , and the latter are unable to fight for their rights because of the proscription attaching to the LTTE. In the order of the ECJ it was stated that after examination of the facts , within six months a decisive verdict shall be arrived at.
It is very unfortunate when the Rajapakses are trying to portray a picture that the LTTE are a still a potent danger , and they are still in existence in order to increase its vote base in the south via racism , the ECJ has confirmed that the LTTE is no longer a force to be feared.
The governments that were in power proscribed the LTTE but because Rajapakses provoked the foreign countries , the Rajapakses were pushed to the point of being forced to withdraw that proscription.
The Rajapakses are again instilling the fear of an LTTE that is no longer existent in the Sinhala people of the north . Ironically , KP an LTTE leader, the LTTE arms leader Karuna , the woman arms leader of the LTTE , Thamalini , LTTE media chief Daya Master are now hand in glove with the Rajapakses. In addition , it is the businessmen who funded the LTTE earlier before transacting business deals with the Rajapakses, who are now providing funds to be spent against the Tamil Diaspora in Europe that is opposed to the Rajapakses.
Rajapakse has told these businessmen , since he can build a heroic image among the Sinhalese in the south when the Diaspora is staging processions and demonstrations in Europe , these businessmen should give support to the Diaspora. Currently , these businessmen are not only funding the Rajapakses , but the anti Rajapakse Tamil Diaspora.
The Sinhala Diaspora who are in Europe say they are rejecting the Rajapakses because the proscription was imposed on the LTTE by the commitment shown by the governments that were in power ; the failure of the Rajapakses to punish the war criminals ; and for establishing close ties and sleeping together with the LTTE murderers and criminals .
