	Assassination of Lakshman Kadirgamar
		It is widely claimed that the demise of Kadirgamar, a great patriot, an icon of a united Sri Lanka and a true national leader, is a set-back for the fragile peace processes.
		We belief Kadirgamar’s death is the result of GOSL‘s lack of sincerity and commitment in implementing key provisions of the ceasefire agreement.
		Although, Kadirgamar is a de-nationalized Thamil (the Buddhist funeral rites and absence of any mourning in the Northeast bore ample testimony) who did not speak his mother tongue, yet President Chandrika exploited his name to cloak her racist face internationally.

		The home of the Foreign Minister, Lakshman Kadirgamar, for instance, was hidden from view by a high perimeter wall, when I visited him earlier this year, and behind that wall rose another one, for good measure.

		Quite naturally, Kadirgamar incurred the ire of the totalitarian and terrorist outfit that was the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) which could brook no space for dissent, especially among Tamils of whom it claimed to be the 'sole representative'.
		Small wonder then that Kadirgamar holding the views he did on human and democratic rights for all and his anti-terrorist position should have fallen foul of the LTTE and increasingly become the prime target of Tiger terrorism as has been revealed in the security disclosures made immediately before and after his assassination.
		Lakshman Kadirgamar was a reader of our magazine 'Christian Worker' and had promised an article for it following certain critical comments made by him in two newspapers in early July this year on the handling of the peace process, views that were very close to our own..
