Dear Hon. Lawrence Cannon,
\nMinister of Foreign Affairs, Canada.<\/p>\n
You are one strong man, I had to admit. Canadian Tamils have been protesting since January across Canada to save minority Tamils from genocide in the hands of majority Sinhala led Sri Lanka.\u00a0 We have protested in Vancouver, Ottawa,\u00a0 Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, and many corners of Greater Toronto.\u00a0 We have protested from the confinement of parks, and sidewalks, to open streets, and highway.<\/p>\n
You are not even willing to listen to the genuine grievances of Canadian Tamils.\u00a0 You have not even said a comforting words to the hunger strikers.\u00a0 You have let down the very constituents that you claim to represent.\u00a0 You are absolutely aware of the dire situation in Sri Lanka, still you kept your strong face away from Canadian Tamils!<\/p>\n
Sri Lankan army has not spared even hospitals, as Defence Secratary Gotabaya Rajapakse confirmed in a news interview with\u00a0Sky News<\/a>, even hospitals were legitimate targets. Our family and friends were slaughtered barring independent journalist and non-government aid agencies from the so called “no-fire zone”, literally starving the Tamils.\u00a0 The no-fire zone is actually a no-safe zone, as it was confirmed by satellite pictures from UN and US [UN Leaked – UNOSAT satellite imagery analysis implicates Sri Lankan Government of War Crimes<\/a>, Satellite Imagery Offers Glimpse on Sri Lankan War Zone<\/a>].\u00a0 Sri Lanka did not even spare the hospitals inside the “no-fire zone” as it was witnessed by government official doctors<\/a>.<\/p>\n While all these gross manslaughter of Tamils were happening, you – our Foreign Affairs minister – called “… LTTE lay down its arms<\/a>“. The only force that has been fighting for the Tamils, while international countries maintained silence over genocide of Tamils had been called to lay down its arms and surrender.\u00a0 The humanitarian crisis did not jolt the Conservative Canada to at least voice against Sri Lankan government.\u00a0 Even world’s most busiest leader, USA President Hon. Barack Obama had taken the time to condemn Sri Lankan government’s indiscriminate shelling of Tamil civilians, but our Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Stephan Harper could only do, maintain his silence.\u00a0 May be our Conservative Canada is trying to prove that it is not following the US at least in this matter.<\/p>\n Hon. Lawrence Cannon, as you called to lay down its arms, LTTE has done that.\u00a0 Yes, they have done what you called on them for and look what had happened.\u00a0 They were massacred when they surrendered [Tamil leaders ‘killed as they tried to surrender’<\/a>, Tigers begged me to broker surrender<\/a>].\u00a0 Please Sir, you have not addressed the Canadian Tamil protesters, you have not voiced against the Sri Lanka, and when the Tamil leaders surrendered as you called for that, they were massacred.\u00a0 What are you going to do for this war crime?\u00a0 Where are you going to keep your face on this matter? Having successfully decimated the only force that was fighting for the Tamils, Sri Lankan government now embarks on ethinic cleansing in other Tamil areas as confirmed by aid agencies<\/a>, which the Tamils were saying for few decades.<\/p>\n Please Sir, take some actions rather than words.<\/p>\n Thank you and looking forward not <\/em>to your words, but actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Hon.
