The LTTE are back. We need MR at Gota back as they are the only ones that can defeat the Tigers in the North and Lions in the South.

Silvadon't create what should not be created. Be mindful on your comments mate. LTTE will never be back

Nadia Friday, 30 November 2018 11:04 AM

How can they be back? I thought Mahinda/Gota defeated them! If we need them to defeat the LTTE again, did they not actually defeat them the first time?

Tigers and Lions are best targeted atop an Elefant!

Law and order has deteriorated under MS and Pujith. What to expect when a bunch of spineless crooks run the country. All illegal activities from land grabbing, sand mining, murder, robbery etc are at its maximum and the police and courts are turning a blind eye. The law abiding citizens are suffering as a result or they have to take the law into their own hands.

What to expect when the PM, MR paying a visit to Welikade today to CDS.

meena Friday, 30 November 2018 10:22 AM

Sanjeay Friday, 30 November 2018 03:33 PM

Both officers are Tamils. We don't need rockets science to find the killers.

Ana Boopa Friday, 30 November 2018 04:00 PM

G.M. Jayawardena Friday, 30 November 2018 04:01 PM

The news has not given the detail report of the crime.. Yet if the lives of the security staff are now vulnerable what about the lives of the unarmed civilians ?

kumar Friday, 30 November 2018 04:04 PM

letting of blood to sustain MS's illegal government. MS has to take full and personal responsibility.

Eds Friday, 30 November 2018 04:19 PM
