Can TNA ( Won't you help to) sing?

 

Can TNA ( Won't you help to) sing? 

If TNA is not willing to scream as loud as the voters did, would they at least sing? These songs of freedom.

It is understandable that TNA wants to show good faith in its engagement with the Sri Lankan state.  But it should be a time bound exercise. And in clearly articulated steps so the voters stay informed. 

An appeasement of Sinhala Buddhist insecurity by downplaying the Tamil people's aspirations will never work.  

 As high as Bob Marley may have been when he was singing these songs, he had the clarity in lyrics.  

A mis diagnosis by TNA of the people's vote, Or worse, a willful mis interpretation, will repeat the mistakes of the old Eelam leadership. 

As the Bob Marley  song goes

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.

But Tamil people, always and consistently, spoke up, struggled and paid the price for that freedom despite leadership failures. 

We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

The farce that is 13A is unravelling as expected.  And the Sinhala hardliners have drawn their redlines.  If TNA is unable to make progress, it may take the path of supporting a regime change agenda that is underway in some quarters.  It is a shifting of the problem. 

It is confusing the Sherif to a deputy as Bob Marley would say. 

I shot the sheriff 
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh! 

Sheriff is someone of authority. As in the saying goes there is a new sheriff in town.  But deputy is someone who carries out orders from above. 
The bad sheriff for the Tamils is been the unitary, and the racist constitution.  It does not matter if the deputy is Mahinda or Ranil.
