Bandh in TamilNadu for Srilankan Tamil Peace and Muthukumars death

Situation in and around chennai at 9am IST

After Muthukumar 's death,  The Sri Lankan Tamils Protection Movement, an umbrella organisation consisting of parties like the PMK, CPI and the MDMK called for a bandh across Tamil Nadu today.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday had refused to stay the bandh saying the parties have a right to express their feelings. Meanwhile, the ruling party in the state has opposed the bandh terming it against law.

We cant say normal life in Tamil Nadu has come to a standstill. Lot of people through public transport are moving and the private companies functions normally. Incidentally, it also happens to be the day Sri Lanka celebrates its 61st independence day.

Death Statement / Letter of Tamil journalist Muthukumar, who committed suicide

Tamil Nadu journalist burns himself to death

Reason being India not supporting Srilankan Tamils (Eelam Issue).

Muthukumar 's act shows : உடல் மண்ணுக்கு, உயிர் தமிழுக்கு மட்டும் இல்லை தமிழனுக்கும் தான்

விதியே விதியே என்செய் நினைத்திட்டாய் என் தமிழ் சாதியை...
அன்பார்ந்த உழைக்கும் தமிழ்மக்களே...

வணக்கம். வேலைக்குப் போகும் அவசரத்திலிருக்கும் உங்களை இப்படி சந்திக்க நேர்ந்ததற்கு நான் வருந்துகிறேன். ஆனால் வேறு வழியில்லை. என் பெயர் முத்துக்குமார். பத்திரிகையாளர் மற்றும் உதவி இயக்குநர். தற்சமயம் சென்னையில் உள்ள பத்திரிகை ஒன்றில் வேலை செய்து வருகிறேன்.

உங்களைப்போல் தான் நானும். தினமும் செய்தித்தாளையும், இணையத்தையும் பார்த்து பார்த்து, தினம் தினம் கொல்லப்பட்டு வரும் எம் சக தமிழர்களைக் கண்டு சாப்பிட முடியாமல், தூங்க முடியாமல், யோசிக்க முடியாமல் தவிக்கும் எத்தனையோ பேரில் ஒரு சாமானியன். வந்தாரை வாழ வைக்கும் செந்தமிழ் நாட்டில் சேட்டு என்றும், சேட்டனென்றும் வந்தவனெல்லாம் வாழ, சொந்த ரத்தம் ஈழத்தில் சாகிறது.


 

Tamil Nadu journalist burns himself to death

Reason being India not supporting Srilankan Tamils

A young Tamil activist burnt himself to death in front of the Shastri Bhavan, the Indian Central Government's Chennai Head office Thursday, reports from Chennai said. The activist, Mr. Muthukumar, from Thooththukkudi, who works for Pe'n'nea Nee feminist magazine as typist and also writes articles, doused himself with petrol and set himself afire, condemning the futile visit by Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who failed to stop the war in Sri Lanka and save Eezham Tamils.

Muthukumar 's act shows : உடல் மண்ணுக்கு, உயிர் தமிழுக்கு மட்டும் இல்லை தமிழனுக்கும் தான்.
No more Muthu Kumar please....

With 95% burn injuries, Muthukumar was rushed to the Kilpauk Medical College in a critical condition, with slim chances of survival. He succumbed within a short span of time, according to medical sources.

Tension prevails in the capital city of Chennai following the news of the young Tamil activist burning himself to death in front of Shastri Bhavan office.

HOW LONG CAN INDIA KEEP QUIET ON LANKA VIOLENCE ?

 

After more than four years of relatively calm environment, the situation in Srilanka has gone back to "square 1". All the efforts of Norway mediated peace talks seems to be going in vein. Both the parties have got a new reason to break the ceasefire, the control of 'Maavil Aaru' reservoir. Srilankan forces resorted to airstrikes to open up the LTTE blocked sluice gates of water canal, which is the source of irrigation for srilanka troops controlled downstream areas.

Both the parties are blaming each other and have put the Norway mediated Feb 2002 ceasefire agreement into backburner.

The worst and most recent of all is the Srilankan airforce bombing an orphanage in Tigers controlled area, which LTTE claims to have killed 61 children and the Tigers repulsive attack on Pakistan High Commissioner convoy in columbo.
Last week, 15 people working for the French humanitarian agency, 'Action Against Hunger' were killed in Muttur because of Lankan military bombings. And the list continues ....

The fighting in last two weeks alone have displaced more than 30000 innocent civilians in the area. This also leads a huge influx of refugees into India. There is nothing worse than to live as refugees in their own home land. Even many risk their lives to cross over to Tami Nadu as refugees. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees(UNHCR) has urged those planning on making
