Today, on 26 September, we commemorate a
special Tamil hero, LT. Col. Thileepan. For a man who gave his life for a
liberal life of the Tamils.
The under the civil name Rasaiah
Parthipan known LT. Col. Thileepan was born on 27 November 1960 in Jaffna, Sri
Lanka. In the 80s he was a political member of the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of
Tamil Eelam) and especially a political leader of the district of Jaffna.
He died as a result of a hunger strike,
which he began on 15 September 1987 in Jaffna Nallur Murugan Temple. With the
hunger strike he tried to raise public awareness of the political demands.
Its political demands include the
following points:
All Tamils who have been convicted
under the National Terrorism Act "Prevention of Terrorism Act of
1978" in Sri Lanka should be exempted. The colonization of Sinhalese in
Tamil majority of residential areas under the guise of rehabilitation should be
permanently stopped.
The above requirements should be
brought to a standstill until a transitional government is formed.
The Sri Lankan government should
stop the creation of new police stations and police camps in the northeastern
provinces.
The Sri Lankan army and police should
withdraw from schools in Tamil villages. Also, you need all the weapons were
sent by the GOSL to the "Home Guards", be withdrawn under the
supervision of the Indian Army.
Thileepan presented these demands during
his hunger strike to allow the Tamil people peace and quiet. The situation had
worsened after the Indian invasion. The arrival of the Indian Peacekeeping
Force IPKF brought more suffering than peace with.
To date, the Tamils long for its own
country where they can live without worry and in peace. A country in which they
are not discriminated against, from which they do not have to flee and where
they do not have to fear for their lives themselves
We Tamils will continue to
fight, not with weapons, no, but with our voice. We will fight for a Tamil
Eelam in order at least to our future generations to live in peace. Those
efforts, all the suffering, which Lt. Col. Thileepan has taken for the Tamil
people to be, will not end fruitlessly.
How long may take it, we will rest until
a Tamil Eelam springs up.
