"The anti-Tamil Sinhala racist political system - which totally disregards human rights and
liberties - offers no alternatives to the Tamils other than to fight, secede and establish
an independent Tamil state. It is along this secessionist path that the Sinhala nation is
driving the Tamil nation.
Years ago our people made a decision that
an independent state of Tamil Eelam is the only and the final solution to our national
conflict. For the last several years,
our freedom movement
has been fighting a bloody liberation struggle carrying the cross of our
people’s aspirations for freedom.
