Too late, the world (anyone who cares to know) knows that you have a genocidal army

Karu Thursday, 08 August 2013 12:02 PM

Imagine what have done in North three years ago????

Sam Thursday, 08 August 2013 11:48 AM

No SIR, don't pay a single cent. Give the lives back. Show them that you can do this too.

Loku Maama Thursday, 08 August 2013 10:22 AM

where is this money coming from in the first place?

Sanjay Karuna Thursday, 08 August 2013 09:49 AM

Before you call the Army Genocidal, inquire whether these soldiers have received any Psychological assessment and Therapy after the Trauma of the 30 year war on Terrorism. From the news that we receive the Army has only been Lauded for their efforts in ending the war, not for the Psychological Distress and Trauma they would have felt after killing so many Humans, even if they were Terrorists!

Perumal Thursday, 08 August 2013 09:47 AM

In the case of innocents they kill and pay. In the case of their cronies they pay and kill.

Sanjay Karuna Wednesday, 07 August 2013 01:00 PM

The Government thinks that Money is God. That is the present tragedy in Sri Lanka. The GOSL thinks Money for Lives lost, will solve all ills. Not the provision of Clean water, which is the birthright of all Sri Lankans. Our former Kings had the right idea,. At least MR should look back at our Proud History and see what made our former Kings Great.
It is Water, not War that is still remembered, of the great Kings of yore, e.g. Kala Veva, Parakrama Samudra, etc.!

good bi-lateral talk

cham Wednesday, 07 August 2013 11:08 AM

This is confusing your minister claims shots were fired at the army, now paying them compensation????

bodu bala Wednesday, 07 August 2013 11:04 AM

Govt and Bodu is following Saudi Arabia. they should bring back beheading for the Water Terrorists, Since they are terrorists you don't have to pay from your pocket just from the tax payers.

ramesh Wednesday, 07 August 2013 10:58 AM
