” In the midst of death, the eyes of the children can be seen. I will not buy a death certificate until I die, “said Thangaraja Selvarani, who left this world today in the same position.
Although the Sri Lankan civil war ended in 2009, its effects are still felt today.
Struggles are still being waged in Sri Lanka in search of missing wartime relations.
The search for the missing, especially in the north and east, continues today.
Relatives of those who went missing are still struggling to find their loved ones, and many involved in the struggle have been forced to fight back.
It is possible to observe that diseases caused by old age, such as weakness in the body, the parents are forced to fight.
Meanwhile, the Association for the Relations of the Missing has reported that more than 108 people have been killed so far in the ongoing search for their loved ones, who have struggled in the streets and have not been able to locate the missing until the end.
Son, grandson, mother who lost a nephew
Another mother dies as she struggles to find her missing relatives until she is an adult.
Vavuniya – 70 year old Thangaraja Selvarani from Chettikulam area has passed away.
The woman, who lost all the men in her home during the war in 2008, searches for them until the end, but fails in her search and says goodbye.
Thangaraja Selvarani has thus lost her son, grandson and nephew.
Selvarani told BBC Tamil last March that her son-in-law had gone missing after being taken home by the military.
He also said that his son and grandson went missing suddenly while going to the river near his house.
He also recalled that where his son and grandson had gone missing, there were signs that the Sri Lankan security forces were on the move.
The search, which began in 2008, continued until the last moment of Selvarani’s death.
“Eyes of children in the middle of death”
However, due to a sudden illness in March, Selvarani was paralyzed in one place.
He was forced to be paralyzed at home due to old age and the impact of the disease.
He has been fighting since the moment his relationship disappeared and has been fighting until recently until last March.
Selvarani made this comment to BBC Tamil last March.
” In the midst of death, the eyes of the children can be seen. I am without a child today. There is no place to go. There is no one who is not called. There is no end in sight, no matter where the children are, no matter what, no matter what, no matter where, no matter where, no matter where, no matter where, no matter what, We are calling the international community, calling and mandating. We do not have an end in sight … “says Malka Selvarani in tears.
Selvarani also commented on the Sri Lankan government’s announcement that it would issue compensation and death certificates to relatives of the missing.
Continuing struggles
” I will not buy a death certificate unless I die until the last. I do not want to. I just want children. Give me your death certificate. Where did the children go, who took them, what happened and whoever saw them fight to get us a death certificate. Do you just go with the flow of children? வைக்காம தாறாங்களோ? Who saw. I will not sign the death certificate, “he said.
Selvarani, who had thus spent her life with the zeal to find her relations, left this world on the 1st of last May.
His last rites took place recently in the Vavuniya – Chettikulam area.
While the struggle for war-torn relationships continues today, many unsuccessful deaths have been reported in the past.
The issue of missing persons thus remains a last-minute unanswered question for survivors.
