As more facts tumble out of Sri Lanka, it is increasingly clear to the
whole world that a genocide took place in Sri Lanka during 2008-2009.
The latest expose about what cannot but be construed as a cold blooded
murder of a twelve year old child has added to the heart rending
evidence on this issue. Indian government''s silence in the face of this
mounting evidence is disappointing.
In fact, Sri Lanka appears to be expecting that India will help them escape International scrutiny when they face the world''s opposition at the UN Human Rights Council at Geneva on March 21st. It is sad and ironic that the biggest and the most stable democracy in the region has of late shown little commitment to democracy and human rights in its neighbourhood. It is shocking that parties that did not use their political clout to save the Sri Lankan Tamils when it mattered most are now shedding crocodile tears on this issue.
Aam Aadmi Party believes that protection of civil and human rights of Sri Lankan minority is not just a concern for Sri Lankan Tamils, or for that matter for Tamils all over the world. Such grave violations of human rights must concern every human being, including every Indian. We join the Tamil Nadu students in demanding that an independent and credible international human rights inquiry should be carried out on what happened to Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009 and this should be categorized as genocide. We call upon the Government of India to support a resolution censuring Sri Lanka at the UNHRC meeting at Geneva. The resolution to the Sri Lankan situation must take into account and respect the political will of the Tamil minority.
Aam Aadmi Party calls upon all democratic Indians to join the Tamils in Sri Lanka, India and all over the world in condemning this genocide. It calls upon political parties to give up their indifference or double standards and join the people in voicing this matter in the global arena. It also calls upon the citizens of Tamil Nadu to exercise restrain and not allow any harm to innocent citizens of Sri Lanka in India.
