Referring to the statement made by Vinyagamoorthy Muralitharan alias “Karuna Amman” that he killed some 2,000 to 3,000 Sri Lankan Army personnel in one night, former UNP Minister Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka said Karuna could not kill soldiers of that magnitude as claimed.
Addressing a gathering in Navadinveli, Ampara on June 20, Karuna Amman said, “When I was a member of the LTTE, I killed some 2,000 to 3,000 Sri Lankan Army personnel in one night at Elephant Pass. I have killed more in Killinochchi.”
Responding to the claim, Field Marshal Fonseka said it was true that Karuna killed 1,200 army personnel, who surrendered in Mullaitivu and another 600 police officers in the East.
“However, he did not kill such amount of army personnel in Elephant Pass and Killinochchi as he flattered,” he said.
“He is trying to be a hero as if he killed everyone in the army. But he did kill personnel who surrendered,” he added.
Moreover, the Field Marshal said Karuna Amman had been offered with a post in the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and added the government was defending him.
While saying that he must be put behind bars over the statement, the Field Marshal proceeded to say that Karuna Amman could even be produced before a Court Martial. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Karuna must face a trial and the Rajapakses should be blamed for nurturing him which is a total disgrace to all Sri Lankans immaterial what their nationality is

May be he wants to take credit for the number of unarmed Haj Pilgrims inside a Mosque in the East, and numerous unarmed civilians for refusing to pay ransom to the LTTE.

So, "Karuna" gets credit for killing Sri Lankan soldiers with VP of SLFP and offer of seat from national list of SLPP? He got nothing from UNP!!!!

Is the number quoted by Karuna,excluding the six hundred policemen massacred in the East?

We are awaiting for Karuna to become the next president of SL and Bathurdeen as the next PM with no singalise. Come on boys, play the game - the no elections!
