SriLanaUnites, please keep the truth naked

Please let me bring the following to your kind attention:

This is with reference to what happened in the following program:


 Date with Danu (The Naked Truth) | Prashan De Visser and Vidhya Kandeeban, 11 August
2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=879&v=ZX-
m0aIqTIc&feature=emb_logo, 

When Annilavan, Manager,, Mullaitivu Centre of SriLankaUnites, said that the Tamils
should have tried non-violence, and not violence, to get their rights, none of Danu,
Prashan or Vidya intervened to say that whenever the TTamils tried to use non-
violence they were met with severe violence from the government itself:

1. Tamil parliamentarians and Tamils sat in satyagraha, non-violent sit-in protest


outside the parliament on 5 June 1956 to protest against Sinhala Only Policy, the
police stood by without restraining the thugs from violently attacking the peaceful
protesters. The violence not only spread to parts of Colombo city over a few days it
spread to the new colonisation scheme in GalOya where more than 100 Tamil
settlers were murdered( https://thuppahi.wordpress.com/2017/02/02/the-anti-tamil-gal-
oya-riots-of-1956/  )

2. Tamil parliamentarians and Tamils sat in satyagraha day and night in front of
Jaffna District Secretariat for nearly two months(mid-February - mid-April 1961)  and
one early morning in mid-April the Army was sent to crush the protest and all the
parliamentarians were taken to detention at Army cantonment in Panagoda for six
months along with some of their supporters. Some of the satyagrahis who
were attacked by the Army had to be admitted to the hospital. The North began to be
encircled with military camps to bring the Tamils to heel because N.Q.Dias,  the
Prime Minister's Secretary, thought that there would be armed uprising in 25yrs'
time(  https://groundviews.org/2014/09/17/review-of-neville-jayaweeras-jaffna-exorcising-
the-past-and-holding-the-vision/ )

3. It is sheer horror that SriLankaUnites has never criticised the Post-war


militarisation for 21C PsyOps on the Population of the war-ravaged North in the last
11yrs - https://www.scribd.com/document/440612550/Sri-Lanka-21C-PsyOps-on-the-War-
ravaged-People-in-the-North-East 
After the topic of post-war Militarisation of war-torn Northern Sri Lanka was raised at Leiden
University and Humanity Hub on 18 and 19 December 2019, the News Archives 2010-2019
were deleted off Security Forces Headquarters Jaffna website on 31 December 2019, but the
intensity of PsyOps on the people has been intensifying since then:
