No, he is not lying. He just says that there are no underworld gangs which means there are only his gangs, 'above world gangs'.

When the underworld king pin is talking how can he find anyone else, he is blind. This is the biggest underworld thug.

There is no underworld ganage in North. All those criminal activities are carried out by legitimately elected government

There are no underworld gangs operating in Jaffna for sure, but there are certainly election thugs hiding behind the forces.

Dagobert Saturday, 22 January 2011 09:09 AM

Do not quote the President & defence Secy in vain.
Do what you have to do to control or avert situations. Put your itel men on the prowl.

Royalist Saturday, 22 January 2011 08:58 AM

If they can not find them underworld then they must start looking for overworld gangs....

Ajith Saturday, 22 January 2011 08:55 AM

Now no LTTE and no underworld, then who is doing all these?

Thas Saturday, 22 January 2011 08:21 AM

The Govt of SL itself is an underworld gang.

Thas Saturday, 22 January 2011 08:18 AM

If there are no underworld ganghs operating in Jaffna, then it's very obvious that the crimes are committed by the armed forces.

Ranjit Saturday, 22 January 2011 08:08 AM

Yes, there is no underworld or LTTE terrorism in Jaffna, but there are state terrorists from EPDP and the Army.

Suganya Sri Saturday, 22 January 2011 07:49 AM

Army Commander is lying. He knows very well that in North there are kidnapping,robbery and other criminal activities going on under the nose of Sri Lankan armed forces. Why lie?
