 A meditation on the anniversary of the deaths of Lakshman Kadirgamar and Kethesh Loganathan
by: Prof. Rajiva Wijesinha If July 1983 is remembered as the darkest episode in recent Sri Lankan history, August 12th should be seen as the saddest day in terms of the deaths of individuals. On August 12th 2005 Lakshman Kadirgamar, Foreign Minister and potential Prime Minister, was killed by the LTTE. He had, since his entry into Sri Lankan politics, managed to reverse the dark image of Sri Lanka that July 1983 had created. He also did much to correct the image of the LTTE as the sole representatives of oppressed Tamils that they had developed after their resistance to the Indian Peace Keeping Force. That the IPKF had been dragooned by LTTE intransigence into a war no one else wanted was forgotten, in the brilliant propaganda the LTTE has engaged in from the time the Indian army marched against them. Faced with an individual who could put a case better, who understood Indian imperatives whilst being unequivocally Sri Lankan in mind and heart, the LTTE eliminated him. |
