22nd Anniversary of Northern Muslim Expulsion by LTTE By D.B.S Jeyaraj

 

The past week recorded the 22nd anniversary of a cruel, inhuman episode in the history of Tamil –Muslim relations in Sri Lanka. It was in October 1990 that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE)organization forcibly expelled the Tamil speaking Muslim people from the Northern Province in an atrocious act amounting to ethnic cleansing.

Within a few days the Muslims were chased out of their homeland where they had lived for many, many centuries.

The mass expulsion of Muslims from the North in 1990 was a humanitarian catastrophy and tragedy.Uprooting a people from their habitat at gun point and driving them away after depriving them of their cash and jewellery was despicable and unpardonable. This writer intends drawing on some of his earlier writings in a bid to revive memories of this mass expulsion and shame those members of the Tamil community who continue to support the tiger ideology while posing as human rights champions now.
