THIS IS VERY SENSITIVE AND CONTROVERSIAL CZ ERUPTING UP FROM THE COMMUNAL CANCER AND GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO BLUFF TO T HE NATION.

Expressing support for the resurgence of a terrorist organization due to frustration and police inaction in the North, doesn't constitute to involvement in terrorist activities. This arrest appears to be politically motivated and a majority appeasement tactics.

Saman Monday, 08 October 2018 11:46 AM

Not needed. Released on bail. Faster than arrest.

The tongue can make one or break one. It is important to control one's tongue, especially those holding public positions.

Really, did you listen to Dr Silva, Wimal and Gammanpila?

Raza Monday, 08 October 2018 11:16 AM

Who Killed Vijayakala,s Husband. I could remember reading it as LTTE. Now Vijayakala has been branded as an LTTE organiser. Politics is a mysterious game.

No it’s not by LTTE.

Well she should have been arrested for lodging Vidiyas Murderers, not for her political vantage statement. This shows the state of law

DillonDP Monday, 08 October 2018 11:24 AM

Well she should have been arrested for harbouring the murderers of Vidiyas not for her political vantage statement, this shows the state of law

Mandayan Monday, 08 October 2018 11:30 AM

Arrested for mere talks but the state prevented arrest of those who kidnap and killing of 11 innocent kids. Double standard on pathetic race lines!!!

Prem Monday, 08 October 2018 12:11 PM

This arrest - bailout drama will makes her popular with Northern Tamils still believing LTTE as their saviours, and maybe becomes next major political leader!

Yahiya Monday, 08 October 2018 12:18 PM

Well, while the real one is living (Karuna)

Dinesh Monday, 08 October 2018 12:37 PM

This is wrong. We all have grievances and frustrations. We don't always voice them the right way. The right thing to do is to listen, understand and remedy. Yahapalanaya is now undoing the last bit of standing it had.

If she said anything against the constitution, she will suffer the consequences...Creating a low abiding environment is the only way to run the nation successfully irrespective of your ethnic background.

The Government will loose the North Tamils votes. This is what JO wants. Break the minority votes.

Shiva Monday, 08 October 2018 02:32 PM

Soam Monday, 08 October 2018 03:25 PM

It is not a Drama, it is Karma.
