The civilians who have been recently resettled in the north have complained to the Government Agent (GA) in Kilinochchi that the land which was forcefully taken away from them by the LTTE is not being returned by the army, Military sources told Daily Mirror online

However according army sources the land owners had sold the land to the LTTE and had used the funds to send their children aboard.

Some of the significant plots of land include the land used to house the LTTE administration office and LTTE head quarters as well as the land previously used by slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.

Discussions regarding these land issues are scheduled to take place between the GA and the army next week. (Daily Mirror online)

So what is the proof you human have, that they were not paid ???.... Only the LTTE will know that ?

Rattapakse Saturday, 21 August 2010 09:55 AM

Don't worry, Lankans. All the available lands will be shared between Indian and Chinese soonar than later.

We will be ending up as the cats that ask the monkey to help to share the 'appa'.

Did you for once think, just maybe, a ruthless terrorists group can actually HAVE DONE those things ? IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT ?

Did Thamilchelvam or any other LTTE leaders came in your dreams from the dreamland Eealam and tell you that they payed money to the civilians

Ramalinga., for sure there is no 'M' in that title, before you come to a conclusion show the proofe of these lands being sold.

Ask LTTE diaspora to pay for the lands..

Gayan Saturday, 21 August 2010 06:43 AM

They sold the land and now want it back free of charge. This kind of law can exist only in dream lands like the Eealam.!

Assume that land focibly taken by LTTE. But now they complaint against the legitimate forces in sri lanka. anyone can clearly see now real freedom is enjoyed by tamils.

Ramalingam Saturday, 21 August 2010 06:10 AM

This is nothing about the freedom. this is about land sold to the LTTE and not complained to anyone over acquisition by the LTTE. why aren't they complained earlier?

gunda Saturday, 21 August 2010 06:05 AM

LTTE is the 'fall guy' for everything.

Ram Saturday, 21 August 2010 05:56 AM

From the first three comments, all can understand the majority's communal attitude towards so called their brothers. Every one following Gota. No way to change the future!!

thusi Saturday, 21 August 2010 05:16 AM

Return the money got from LTTE for selling the land.....then can have the land back....

human Saturday, 21 August 2010 04:11 AM

Bhathiya Waduge Saturday, 21 August 2010 01:33 AM

Land which was forcefully taken away from them by the LTTE is not being returned by the army. Pls ask it from the acquirer .
