MODERATE TAMIL POLITICAL LEADER Mr. V. Ananda Sangaree, President, Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) who is a prime target of Tiger terrorist group that comprises his own northern Tamil youth was recently honoured in France with presentation of a special UNESCO award in appreciation of his prolonged tolerance and role against violence.

He was the first Sri Lankan to be the recipient of this prestigious UNESCO Award where, he in his brief address on the acknowledgement of the Award regretted his miserable inability to visit his home town in the north of Sri Lanka with this Award due to persistent Tiger (LTTE) threats on his life and his political work.

“As a retired teacher, I believe, the lessons taught for peace are the lessons for one’s own life. Let the UNESCO take courage to spread this message through the society in order to establish an excellent state machinery and protect Human Rights, enabling everybody to exercise their freedom of expression,” he said.

Mr. Sangaree, the veteran Tamil political leader and humanist, spoke out, his mind and lamented how moderate Tamils like him are dedicated to resolve the Sri Lankan crisis through peaceful negotiations. So are the intentions of the majority of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka. Tamil Tigers do not represent them and instead their being detained as hostages at the expense of weapons and intimidation.

“Armed groups that use weaponry to fulfill their goals are emerging all over the world. LTTE is following the path of terror and go on recruiting child soldiers of Tamil families and brainwashing them for military attacks. LTTE has been banned in many countries and they are directly responsible for assassinations including an Indian Prime Minister, a Sri Lankan President, a Foreign Minister and a number of Sinhala as well as Tamil intellectuals, political leaders, civilians, members of the Armed Forces and the Police, journalists, etc. They also forcefully evicted many Muslims in the north and east and brutally murdered them.”

In the General Elections 2001 I was elected to the Parliament with the highest majority but the LTTE has posed a threat to my life preventing me from visiting my own native place in the Jaffna peninsula. This the fate that has befallen me for my work to uphold tents of democracy. “Children of those Tiger leaders are safely receiving education overseas while innocent Tamil children at home are trained to become human bombs and suicide cadres. Parents of those children have turned helpless in the face of LTTE’s barrel of the gun and death threats and intimidation,” he was quoted saying by the “Rivira” weekend newspaper.
