    LTTE diaspora, spending their black money on producing films... but still at amateur level it seems.. too much flaws exposed.

    The Tamil Lady ( a mum) who is said to have been raped together with her daughter does not even mention the word rape UNTIL she is prompted by the interviewer. Watch it.

    Mr. Amza played an important role in protecting our country's image in Chennai where he worked earlier as the Consulate for which he had faced many threats from the Tamil Nadu LTTE supporters.

    Good old days, these western countries captured other poor countries by force, killed indegeneous people, grabbed the power and governed those countries while taking resources of those countries to their mother countries. Today so called western countries are trying to do the same thing by using different tools which are called 'Human Rights" and Non Governmental organisations. Many of these non-governmental organisations are working as intelligence agencies to those western countries. If any country is trying to go against them, they will be in a trouble.

    True - Just prove it they are wrong without procrastinating. End of story.
