Thanks, kugan. But opposition still can't change their attitude of opposing everthing.

Monday, 14 June 2010 03:24 AM

LOVE conquerors all this is a very good move but make sure it does not stop at marriage but also develop their skills and give suitable employment so that they will not be wooed again into terrorism

Monday, 14 June 2010 01:53 AM

Congrads to all the love birds!!! Wish you all the very best!! Thanks to all the organizers, priests and the well wishers who graced the occasion.

Rather than hate and kill, they have decided to love and be future mothers and fathers. Well done my friends, live long and prosper ! May your children grow up and walk hand in hand with their counterparts in the south.

These Tamils are not lazy like us depending on Govt jobs. They will do farming, fishing etc etc to make them self rich & self sufficient.

Only Positive thinking changes a man Ponna and not negative thinking

Sunday, 13 June 2010 03:26 PM

Even our friend Kugan has changed his attitude on the GOSL at last!

Sunday, 13 June 2010 01:51 PM

all depends on what kind of enviornment they will be resettled in. anyway thanks vivek oberoi and whoever graced this occasion. the govt should also allow the people to live peacefully in their own villages without military interfearance to show their genuine for peace.

I wonder how many of them are forced marrieges. Everything supposed-to-be-good is being done with ulterior motives. Especially, Tamils have no chance of questioning anything done in their area.

Ah ok... So you saying the GoSL made them marry by force? Tell me, what's the last grade that you passed in school?

Sunday, 13 June 2010 10:14 AM

Thank you, Vivek Oberoi... You are one rare gentleman with humanity and you will be in our hearts. A rare gem among a bunch of money greedy cowards in India.

Happy wedded life to all.....and good future for them and for the country

Sunday, 13 June 2010 09:36 AM

Appenrently even these individuals need to move on with thier day to day lives now after the ashes have settled!

Sunday, 13 June 2010 02:50 AM

All very good as they were deprived of marriage all these years. But what about jobs for them? Has the Govt. thought about this?

Sunday, 13 June 2010 08:36 AM

At least some good news and wish them all best and having bright future.
Still too many individual are in prison nobody knows about their conditions.
What about married prisoners, they should be released immediately.

Sunday, 13 June 2010 07:46 AM

Good, Start a new life. Make a nice family, love all. Probably, you will realize how time you have lost for nothng.
Best of luck for all of you guys!
Whoever organised this even must be appreciated!

Exxcelent Move....We have to give internationally mass live vedeo coverage on this issuee...let tamil diaspora shut their mouth and stop talking nonsense against srilankan tamils....

Sunday, 13 June 2010 06:16 AM

It is a collective effort. GOSL is not solely responsible.

Sunday, 13 June 2010 06:10 AM

One problem to another.. you think forcefully marrying good for them?

Sunday, 13 June 2010 05:56 AM

i did now.

Sunday, 13 June 2010 05:55 AM

Blessings to all of them. May they live in harmony. Another good result of winning the peace.

Sunday, 13 June 2010 05:45 AM

What say we stop calling them Tigers????

Sunday, 13 June 2010 05:35 AM

Sunday, 13 June 2010 04:30 AM

Warmest congratulations to all the couples who entered matrimony! May you all be blessed with very happy and prosperous married lives!

Sunday, 13 June 2010 04:13 AM

Sunday, 13 June 2010 03:33 AM

Sunday, 13 June 2010 03:02 AM

This is a very good action by GOSL. They should do more and more activities like this.
