All
Party Meet in Tamil Nadu a disaster!
All Party Meet organised by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister on Sri
Lankan Tamils, has suddenly become a non-event, when the principal
opposition party of the state, AIDMK led by the former Chief
Minister J. Jayalalitha made a public announcement that she
will boycott it and called it ‘a hoax on the public.’
Also, a lesser figure, Actor Vijayakanth said that his party
will not participate in the all party meet.
In the meantime, Dr. Subramanian Swamy in a statement released
to Asian Tribune said after the boycott of Jayalalitha, the
meeting as it now turns out is a gathering of parties who
have been rendered by the Tamil Nadu public as agents of the
LTTE.
Sources said all those political parties in the pay roll of
the LTTE are meeting today at the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s
Secretariat. However, this meeting is not taken seriously
by the people of Tamil Nadu.
Given below the statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President
of the Janata Party:
“The so-called ‘All Party Meet’ on Sri Lanka
convened by the TN Chief Minister is turning out to be a pathetic
flop.
“It is bereft of any legitimacy since the principal opposition
party in the State, the AIDMK led by the former Chief Minister,
J. Jayalalitha has boycotted the meeting, calling it a hoax
on the public.
“The meeting as it now turns out is a gathering of parties
who have been rendered by the Tamil Nadu public as agents
of the LTTE. No amount of rigged opinion polls can convince
anyone with any touch with the public, that the LTTE is not
a hated terrorist organisation in Tamil Nadu.
“As it is, any resolution passed by this motley crowd
of parties would be only a reflection of their own political
impotence, since the DMK and PMK are not prepared to walk
out of the UPA on this issue.
“We have already witnessed their abject surrender for
the crumbs of power in the Sethusamudram Ship Channel Project,
after pompously predicting that their patron saint Sonia Gandhi
would flag off the first ship via the proposed channel on
November 1, 2008 and that too after rupturing the holy Rama
Setu, besides collecting their hefty illegal commissions from
international dredging companies.
“But the people have a right to protest against this
ill-fated ‘All Party’ Meet since the tax payers
money is being wasted to plead for a foreign terrorist outfit,
the LTTE, which killed a former Prime Minister of India.
The whole exercise is futile because mainstream India has
decided that LTTE is part of the problem of Sri Lanka, and
cannot be a part of any negotiated solution of the problem.”
