மறுக்கமுடியாத சுயநிர்ணய உரிமையைக் களைய முனையும் கூட்டாட்சிக் கோரிக்கை[Thu, 18 Dec 2025, 09:30 GMT] ஈழத்தமிழர் தேசம் மீது நீட்சியான கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட இன அழிப்பு (protracted structural genocide) நுட்பமான வழிகளில் தொடரப்படாமல் இருப்பது உறுதி செய்யப்படுவது மட்டுமல்ல, குரூரமான சரீர இன அழிப்பு மீளவும் நிகழாது தடுக்கப்படுவதும் (nonrecurrence of physical genocide) ஈழத்தமிழர் தேசத்தின் களையவொண்ணா சுயநிர்ணய உரிமை (inalienable right of self-determination) ஒத்துக்கொள்ளப்பட்ட அரசியற் தீர்வு மூலம் மட்டுமே இயலுமாகும். ஆனால், தாயகம், தேசியம், இறைமை, சுயநிர்ணயம் போன்ற சொற்களை வெற்றுக் கூப்பாடுகளாகக் கையாளுவதில் தேர்ச்சி பெற்றுள்ள தேர்தல் அரசியற் கட்சிகள் ஈழத்தமிழர் சுயநிர்ணய உரிமையைக் கூட்டாட்சிக் (federation) கோரிக்கை மூலம் களைந்துவிடும் ‘அரசியல் முள்ளிவாய்க்காலை’ அரங்கேற்றிவருகின்றன. ஒரு புறம் ‘ஏக்கிய ராஜ்ஜிய’ என்ற குழிபறிப்பும் மறுபுறம் ‘கூட்டாட்சி’ என்ற கூப்பாடும் ஈழத் தமிழ்த் தேசிய விடுதலைக்கான பயணத்தைத் தடுமாறவைத்துத் துண்டாட எத்தனிக்கின்றன.

It has sought to build the support of the world to confront us. It is living in a dreamland of military victory. [...] It is true Tamil Eelam is a small nation on the globe. However it is a nation with great potential. It is a nation with a characteristic individuality. It has a distinctive language, cultural heritage and history. Sinhalam seeks with its military might to destroy all these. It seeks to destroy Tamil sovereignty and replace it with Sinhala sovereignty. [...] Let us all make a firm and determined resolution to follow fully the path of our Heroes, who, in pursuit of our aspiration for justice and freedom, sacrificed themselves and have become a part of the history of our land and our people.” - LTTE Leader V Pirapaharan [Heroes Day, 27 November 2008] Related Story >> ![]() [05.03.18] FIU of CBSL emerges as networked Intel outfit against Tamils in homeland, Diaspora: The so-called Financial Investigative Unit (FIU) of the Central Bank of the unitary State of genocidal Sri Lanka (CBSL), which is led by a Colombo-based ‘Sri Lankan’ Tamil, Indrajith Coomaraswamy, is scheming rigid controls on Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) in the North-East with a ‘counter-insurgency’ role.
