“Our call in unison should be heard by the international community”
Tamil uprising calls for international response
“The international community can no more ignore the genuine struggle for our lost sovereignty and we collectively endorse the proclamation made in the first Tamil Uprising in Vavuniya on 27 July 2005 and we fervently hope that the civilised world community would act now in the proper direction” was the theme of the declaration made yesterday 14 September 2005 by the delegates to the Tamil Uprising at Puthukkudihyiruppu, Mullaittivu.
 “In numeric, we are a hundred thousand, but all of us are united in making this call to the international community in unison to recognise the ground political realities that deny our basic right to live as rightful citizens with equality and dignity in our homeland” said one of the delegates. More than a hundred thousand people from all parts of Wanni and delegates from Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Mannar, Jaffna and Vavuniya enthusiastically participated the uprising, fourth in a series organised by the Tamil people, reiterating the role of the international community to take meaningful moves to deliver the dividends of peace to the Tamil people. 
A message of blessings from His Highness the Bishop of Jaffna was read out by the Parish Priest and religious dignitaries representing Hindu, Christian and Islam faiths participated in the deliberations of the delegates’ conference. Tamil National Alliance (TNA) legislators representing Northeast also addressed the gathering.
