THE HINDU SAYS KARUNANIDHI’S TESO IS INCONGRUOUS IN CURRENT POLITICAL CONTEXT
Onlanka News – by Walter Jayawardhana
The Hindu newspaper in a strongly written op-ed piece said veteran politician Karunanidhi’s attempt to revive a forum called Tamil Eelam Supporters Organization, a mid 1980’s created platform to drum up support for a separate Tamil nation in Sri Lanka is something incongruous in the current political context.
The op-ed piece entitled “Seriously Out of Touch”further said, “Having eliminated rivals to emerge the sole proponent of the cause, and having let the power of arms overshadow its political content, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) effectively destroyed the movement for separation through its ultimate defeat. Velupillai Prabhakaran has left behind only a legacy of ruin and devastation for his Tamil community.”
For parties in Tamil Nadu, the paper said, “Tamil Eelam” has been a useful tool for rabble-rousing while in the opposition, and an instrument of competitive identity politics that can goad the ruling party to take an even more strident stand. In office, the parties have administrative compulsions to crack down on “separatist” tendencies, book those indulging in “anti-national” rhetoric and frame or invoke draconian laws to keep fringe elements under check. For Mr. Karunanidhi it has been a record of flip flops ultimately dropping the core principle of the outfit the editorial further said. All it took was a mere visit from a Union Minister. The editorial reminded his arch rival Jayalalitha was no different and promised before a general election that the government she supports would send an army to Sri Lanka to carve out a Tamil Eelam.

World’s funniest fast unto death !
It lasted for just under 3 hours and the cheating basterd had cushi pillows and air conditioners around him, that 90% of the people in Tamilnadu cannot afford to have.
Many hundreds of thousands of people in Tamilnadu undergo much longer “fast unto death” almost every day. They cannot find anything to eat for days but this bugger tried to cheat every one of those people by not eating anything between his breakfast and lunch (LOL). Nice fasting !
Oh! my fat old baby …! Who are you cheating?
He has cheated his men enough. He cannot cheat the Death. Now he is p[ainfully facing the snow white clad and ferocious looking face of the Death staring at him.Let him go.
Who cares this old fart?This is for cheap publicity. Only good for tamilnadu fools.

I am shocked by the language used in Blog 5. Manjula acca being a women shouldrefrain from using gutter language on human beings.
Jesus Christ loves all equally; it doesn’t matter who the person is, whether it is Karuna Nithi, Pillayan, Majula, Muammar Gadafi, George Bush, Ranil Wickremasinghe, Nicholas Dias, Veloopillai Prabakaran or whoever, Jesus Christ loves us all equally. And so it is with Lord Buddha, he considered all being as equal.
So Manjula Acca, it is terrible to see your language; that language belongs to street walkers.
Blogging is a form of journalism. If we degrade the art of blogging, we will soon be treated to a meal of porcine excreta by a top officer!
Hey Anoma,
Pls stop your preaching.
He derseves that language and he was so treated.
If you want something else, go and lick Karananidi’s arse.
thanks very much for being sympathized.
