End in Mind (for Sri Lanka)

PK Sivakumar: "I approach the same problem from different angles and he does from different angles. The environment and situation is not conducive for any healthy discussions on it now.

However, Badri has done a very good job of compiling all his questions abt the issue. Thats a starting point. We have to approach this problem from Srilankan LTTE Support view, Srilankan Non-LTTE support view, Indian Non Tamils view, Indian Tamils View, even Srilankan Government View, view that will get Srilankan Tamils atleast the minimum required rights at the earliest, Malaiyaga Tamils view, Tamil Muslims View, International View, and above all, what is practically and democratically possible at the earliest.

There is no benefit in just someone accusing The Hindu or Indian Government and vice versa. Because it wont lead to any fruitful discussion and events. More than anything else, Srilankan Tamils are the ones who have to decide about their fate. Whatever be my view or someone else's view, if Srilankans want LTTE, they will and should have it. If they dont want, they should have the freedom to say so. However, there is nothing wrong in debating healthily. I hope we can acheive it sooner or later without killing or abusing people with different views. Thanks."
