Pillayan - the ‘white’ terrorist
Posted by Ajith on May 2, 2008
There can never be anything called ‘white terrorism’ or ‘good terrorism’. No matter how noble the cause is and irrespective of the colour of the man who bears the gun, terrorism is evil, ruthless and merciless. Nowhere in the civilized world people justify terrorism - whatever the reason.

Now tell that to PA, JHU and the Weerawansa faction of JVP that not only embrace the terrorism, but fight till their last drop of blood for the ‘right’ of a terrorist to bear arms completely illegally.
PILLAYAN IS A TERRORIST. No doubt about it. He has no legal provisions to bear guns. He has no legal provisions to kill or threaten innocent people. He is a criminal. In a more civilized country such a criminal would be behind the bars. In our country that type of criminals contest elections, ironically with the blessings of political parties that publicly claim their sole intention is a build a ‘Dharma Rajya’.
If there are free and fair elections in the East there is no doubt that UNP and SLMC alliance would win with a massive margin. This is not something tolerated by the fragile minds of the current government. They know what a blow it can be to already weak regime. So they have no option that hanging to the lion cloth of Pillayan to win the election, by the means of gun.

What is more pathetic is hardly anybody seems to understand the danger of bringing a terrorist leader like Pillayan into power. It would be the loss for the nation. Are we this stupid to offer the entire Eastern province to this atrocious terrorist in a plate?
The election on May 10th will not be a fight between UNP and PA. It is neither a fight between Tamils and Muslims or Hakeem and Pillayan. It is more a fight between Democracy and terrorism.
And it would be the duty of all right minded people to ensure the victory of democracy. What we need least is another terrorist grabbing the Eastern province of the country.
