Respected Sir,
The Raja Bakshe Government has brutally killed and murdered some hundred thousands of Tamils in Srilanka and created a history in racial killing and against humanity and still continuously harassing and taking revenge upon the Tamil Eelam people. The Government of India has supported in all the possible ways to the Sri Lankan government to annihilate the Tamils in Srilanka and still maintaining and a good relationship with the internationally pronounced criminal, the president Rajabakshe. Already more than 500 Indian (TAMILNADU FISHERS) fishermen’s were brutally killed by the Sri Lankan Navy and still continues to haunt the Indian fishermen till today by damaging their boats and nets, making them to undergo harsh and inhuman treatments. The Government of India is a mute spectator to all such happenings and fails to respond to such violent attacks being carried out by the Srilankan navy within our own territory and coastal waters.
To add fuel to the fire, The Government of India has not taken any steps to penalize the international criminal Rajabakshe in the international court of law for his crime against humanity though the whole world is reacting to his carnage. This attitude of the Central government makes the Tamil people more hurt and wounding instead, it supports him and strengthens his Government by offering money, signing agreements and promoting bilateral trade.
The Indian government has started Cruise Tourism from Tuticorin to
The schemes to improve the Indian and Sri Lankan economy by Cruise Tourism Ship is more hurting the Tamil People and Tamil Nadu Fishermen. So India should totally break any relationship with the stained criminal headed country. And the Cruise Tourism should be immediately stopped.
The Tamil Nadu State Government has passed a resolution in the assembly in June 2011 to boycott the inaugural function of the ferry by the state officials. This is the total boycott of Tamil people. The elected tamilnadu has expressed its displeasure on behalf of the entire tamils in the state. The central government has failed to read the mind of the state government and its feelings of Tamil people are condemnable.
This Cruise Tourism towards Sri Lanka and any tourism plans related to 21 Islands of Gulf of Mannar should also be dropped and the life and livelihood of fisher people should be protected.
The Indian government should immediately withdraw the trade agreement made with the Sri Lankan firm to procure 80 well equipped interceptor life boats for India’s coastal protection.
Apart from this the government should also stop the proposed Cruise Tourism from Chennai (India) to Triconamallee (Sri Lanka) and the proposed initial work of Cruise Tourism from Rameswaram (India) to Thalaimannar (Sri Lanka).
Katcha Theevu “the Tamil Nadu state owned territory” agreement should be withdrawn and the Tamil Nadu fishermen should be given all rights for fishing and the proposed plan of extracting natural and sea based resources by the multinational companies, like Vedanta, Gazprom, O.N.G.C. should be given up.
Since the Katcha Theevu is in the hands of the multinational companies the fishermen are killed, arrested and inhumanly treated. The central government and all the political parties hide this truth. Katchatheevu Territory is solely meant for the both Indian and Sri Lankan fishermen to fish and rest but not the multinational companies.
Apart from this, the government should immediately give up all the proposed Cruise Tourism schemes and take necessary action to protect the Tamil Nadu fishermen’s fishing and livelihoods rights.
Considering our Rightful demands, we request the state and the central government to take necessary actions to protect the rights of Tamil Eelam and the rights and livelihood rights of the Indian Tamil Fishermen.
Thanks.
Regards,
Yours Truly,
