Thirumurugan on building social institutions in the occupied country of Eezham Tamils
Many of the NGOs of the West and India that operate in the occupied country of Eezham Tamils want to de-politicize the social institutions of Eezham Tamils in the homeland and in the diaspora. They are deployed with the agenda of de-linking the nationhood politics of Eezham Tamils from their social institutions. The Tamil diaspora has a moral duty to counter this destructive trend through self-awakening, said Tamil Nadu activist Thirumugan Gandhi, while responding to a question from TamilNet in a video interview in March. His response to the question is being published in full for the perusal of Tamils in the homeland and in the diaspora. The coordinator of May 17 Movement has been jailed along with three other activists of Thamizhar Vidiyal Kadchi under the notorious ‘Goondas Act’ after they organised a candlelight vigil on May 21 in remembrance of those who perished in Vanni in 2009.

Human rights activist from Batticaloa, Kathir Barathythasan, says that the international community must be convinced to deliver a negotiated settlement to the national question in the island.
During the war, the International Community (IC) was acting as a mediator. But, it was also abetting the SL State, causing massive civilian deaths among the Tamils. The IC, now wants the anti-terror legislation in the island to fit its global designs, ignoring the drastic internal consequences. The IC must, therefore, be convinced to deliver a negotiated settlement to the national question, he said. TamilNet Report: https://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=39467
