1.     General

Although I addressed some of the contents of this article in his previous writings, the author wishes to readdress the topics for neural coordination for a thorough understanding as any more failure would erase the Tamil race from this planet.

2.     Recent Entertainment Failure in Jaffna

On the 10^th of February 2024, an event was organised by Indran Pathmanathan, who is supposed to be a millionaire and married to Ramba from Tamil Nadu. He could not find a Jaffna girl. The root cause of failure here for the failure is the Tamils take everything for granted and never analyse and study the risks involved.

It is not the intention to blame anyone, however, the prime failure here is that the Police Chief for the North (SDIG) should have questioned the organisers and requested for submission of the programme and the risks involved. The organisers should have studied the risks and threats involved, however, looking at Tamil's historical culture, we cannot dispute that as of now the culture has changed to “rapes, killing, robbing, use of drugs, cheating” etc. If the Police chief demands a report then the Tamils are liable to protest that the government is against the Tamils and move for a Satyagraha etc. That’s Tamil culture. Maybe the organisers are not cleaver to study and analyse.

The Law enforcement should have studied the risks involved and ordered the organisers to implement what the Law enforcement ordered them to do. The police were at the scene, however, they would not have expected the failure.

The organiser chief Indran Pathmanathan should have the brain and intelligence to think and request the Police Chief to implement certain items. However, Indran Pathmanathan may not have that intelligent brain and the IQ to implement certain items. The failure was drastic and knowing the Northern Tamil culture, being a Tamil it is a confirmation that we (some) Tamils behave quite badly in SL and overseas.

This is why we need a Sinhala Police Chief and team in the North.

Just because Indran married Ramba that does not mean he is great. Who is Ramba to the intelligent crowd in SL? NOTHING.

Hope in the future Law Enforcement orders proper study and carry out a risk analysis before issuing a licence for any public programme.

What has the new island Chief Sritharan (LTTE) got to say about this event?

To people like me, it is disgusting, low and sickening.

  

Recent Hariharan/Thamanna Music/Dance Concert and the Resulting Events

By Kanthar Balanathan

 

The journalist KS Shanker and his journalist friend have delivered an impartial analysis, assessment and judgement about the so-called violent festival held in Jaffna on the 10^th of February 2024. Please view the following YouTube video.

Well, the writer's assessment and views are given below. No one can blame the Jaffna Tamils as they are well-cultured and well-behaved citizens except the politicians and some rowdy mentality people from outside Jaffna Town. The writer would blame the following in order of preference.

1.     Indrakumar Pathmanathan crowd who organised the event. There are several mistakes, inaccuracies, muddles, errors and misleading (lies) promises given by Pathmanathan. He(Pathmanathan) should have completed a proper risk assessment and organisational chart, and a report prepared and submitted to the Police Chief (Northern Division for a licence. KS Shanker has given a proper full analysis of where the organisers slipped up by telling lies.

2.     The Police should have completed a full risk assessment and provided full security support. The private security hired by Pathmanathan had no power to assault the civilians. Assume, they were there only to support orderedly incoming and outgoing. The Police would have taken care of the law and order as they are the Law Enforcement Officers by Law.

3.     The people: People should behave in a gathering while respecting others and maintaining law and order. Young ones on the roof, trees and electrical poles are not accepted and bring shame to the entire Jaffna people as the badly behaved ones are not from Jaffna, maybe from islands and other districts. Hundreds of thousands of Rs worth of public assets were damaged and destroyed. Their act brought shame to the entire peace-loving Jaffna people.

It is hoped that Law Enforcement will maintain law & order in the future.

When there is a protest march or Satyagraha the police personnel is present and they should treat such events also. Now, the Police know how people behave in public.

Pathmanathan is said to be doing business in Canada. How the perdition is he managing a business in an orderly manner? How did he accrue such large sums of assets? Is he involved in drugs or smuggling or LTTE’s assets? The RCMP should investigate his business operation and how he is accruing such a large sum of assets.

I am sure the Pettah Market traders have a good organisational and methods capability. Not like Pathman's crude act. Just to write in Tamil:

ஒரு சிலர் கூத்தாடி தமன்னா பாட்டியவோடு படம் எடுப்பதற்கு முப்பதாயிரம் ரூபா கொடுத்தார்களாம். அடே முட்டாள்களே, அந்த பணத்தை ஏழை மக்களுக்கும் பசியோடு வாடி வதங்கும் மக்களுக்கு கொடுக்கலாமே. கூத்தாடிக்கு கொடுப்பதா? இவர்களுக்கு மானம், வெட்கம், ரோஷம், எதேனும் இருக்கா? இந்த வைபவத்தில் பணக்காரன் ஆகியது யார்? இந்திரன் பத்மநாதன்தான். ஹரிஹரன் ஒரு இசை மேதை, ஆனால் தமன்னா ஒரு கூத்தாடி.
