”4.13 …….. sensitivities of all affected persons respected …………..”:
what about the ”memorials” built at Puthukkudiyiruppu, Elehantpass and Kilinochchi within 12 months of the end of war when the Vanni was closed to the public and the war-ravaged was detained in Menik Farm – designed without public consultation and designed to ”punish” the Tamils psychologically (it is environmental destruction too) for ever for taking up arms. It must be remembered that the former Prime Minister Sirima Bandaranaike began militarisation in the North in early 60s after the satyagraha of 1961, saying that there would be armed rebellion in 25yrs(former Government Agent Neville Jayaweera’s memoirs)

Hence this approach needs to be examined” – https://twitter.com/groundviews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw (GV, please allow the weblink to help the readers)”:
The situation of ex-combatants is part of
i.the situation of ALL ”war returnees” – they have been unfairly treated – according to a variety of reports from many sources – since May 2009 till today and
ii. all the aspects of militarisation of the North/East
iii. national polity
