— Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE)
The recent exceptional electoral performance of the Narendra Modi led BJP at the centre and the Jayalalitha led AIDMK in Tamil Nadu in India has caught the world’s attention, and TGTE sent out its own messages of congratulation to both leaders of governments.
In a message delivered to one of BJP’s National Secretaries, Dr Tamilisai Soundarrajan, TGTE noted the economic growth of Gujarat under the resolute and visionary leadership of Mr Modi, and expressed their confidence that the same kind of leadership by Mr Modi at the National level would place India at the center of the global arena to the position of power it deserves, particularly through its role in the Indian Ocean region.
The TGTE message also pointed out the genocidal war and the structural genocide which the Tamil people were being subjected to in the island of Sri Lanka, and hoped that Prime Minister Modi’s leadership would bring the same rigor, resoluteness, and vision to the foreign policy of India to allow India to take the needed protective measures to arrest the structural genocide of Tamils. Itrequested Prime Minister Modi to take a fresh look at the Tamil National struggle and to assist the Tamils to obtain remedial justice. Tamils’ identity and existence can only be ensured in the form of an independent and sovereign state of Tamil Eelam which in itself would be eminently compatible with India’s own geopolitical interests.
In its message delivered to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Ms Jayalalitha, the TGTE said that the landslide victory scored by her Party in Tamil Nadu reiterated the faith, trust and confidence the people of Tamil Nadu had on her leadership, and revealed to India and the whole world that Selvi Jayalalitha was the powerful leader of the Tamil people.
The TGTE also appreciated the historically important resolutions passed by the Tamil Nadu State Assembly calling for an independent international investigation of the war crimes and genocide in Sri Lanka, a UN-sponsored referendum for the Tamils to decide their own political destiny, and calling for an economic boycott of Sri Lanka. The sentiments contained in these resolutions were then incorporated in the Election Manifesto of AIADMK at the recently concluded elections.
‘The stand taken by Selvi Jayalalitha with regards to the participation of the Sri Lankan President, Mahinda Rajapakse, at the inauguration ceremony for the new Modi Government has been well received by the Tamil people around the world, renewing their hopes for a greater involvement of India in fulfilling the aspirations of the Eelam Tamils to live with freedom and peace in their homeland’, the letter said.
