Dear Hon. Deepak Obhrai:
First of all, I would like to thank you for raising up the conflicts in Sri Lanka between Tamils and Sinhalese. I read an article about your statement in the House of Commons at Canada wants Lanka, LTTE to ‘build’ on Geneva II
Moreover, I also feel that you have not addressed the reality of the issue. Here are some points to ponder.
- After the Canada and EU ban, Sinhala government started to increase the extrajudicial killings and offensives against Tamils.

- The SLMM very clearly stated that Sri Lankan government violated the CFA.

Please try to understand the depth of the Tamil struggle, and don’t try to view it as a terrorist problem and apply “war on terrorism” solution. “Sinhala state terrorism” is the root cause of the problem, and still it is a problem.
