I think the Genocide Resolution of the Northern Provincial Council proposed by me and passed almost unanimously by the NPC on the 10 th of February 2015 would give the answer to both of them – what the problems of the Tamils have been and are still continuing to be and as to whether genocide is a fact or fiction. But the annoyance caused to certain of my friends and to Tamil Journalists prompted me to undertake this task of answering the abovesaid question on their behalf. I could have ignored both of them, as many of us do. So the possible murderers are making mischievous political statements. As Military persons they could have been instrumental for the murder of human beings.
As far as I know they are mere Military persons. I am unaware of the extent of their tertiary education. In any event I do not think both Saraths are Historians. They intended to kill or maim or drive away Tamils. When we said there has been genocide, that is what we have been saying right through out. They were told without any hesitation “Shoot them all!” That means the person who gave such orders was certain all who would be killed would be Tamils and the intention was to kill Tamils.
I was told in 2009 when the LTTE Leaders surrendered with white flags in terms of agreement reached with responsible persons both local and abroad, the Army officers in charge had asked the Powers That Be in Colombo (not Sarath No.2) what to do with them. He had position but power was vested elsewhere. Because orders used to go from elsewhere, with/without his knowledge. 2 is unaware what happened during the War though he was the Supreme Commander.
