A A A

Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne said yesterday that his parliamentary speech, which asserted that there were three LTTE training camps in Tamil Nadu, had been based on some reports published in local newspapers; but that these reports had later been found to be false.

Commenting on India’s rejecting his allegation, the prime minister said: “It was a thing mentioned in two newspaper reports. There appears to be false information in these reports. It was nothing more than that.”

However, in his speech to Parliament, he had said that there were intelligence reports regarding these camps. (KB)

    Bezami Friday, 11 March 2011 06:10 AM

    A crucial but baseless statement from a key Statesman ! we thought you haven't teeth but the words too haven't sense of meening.

    BANDA Friday, 11 March 2011 06:16 AM

    Ha ha haaaaa ………Bounce back yaaa!!! May be you never think you will get such a pressure from india. Be responsible for the position you hold and be responsible to the country.

    Navin Friday, 11 March 2011 06:05 AM

    he was not voted PM but appointed through national list.

    berty Friday, 11 March 2011 06:04 AM

    High Time- for the PM to say "Good-Bye" to the PM Chair.
    Or has he foreseen his fortune in the Cabinet Re-shuffle
    expected soon after the Local Elections.

    upul Friday, 11 March 2011 05:57 AM

    hahaha good one!!!

    Minister Friday, 11 March 2011 08:24 AM

    Yes,we knew about it. So we did not take you seriously!

    Ganesh Friday, 11 March 2011 11:24 PM

    this shows the Hon. PM is also functioning under pressure from another big fool. DMJ is a good responsible balanced political leader. I think he should not act on behalf of others and loose his image by talking security matters of the country.

    sid Friday, 11 March 2011 04:50 PM

    all politicians,everywhere! :-) ...indian friend and admirer of SLA

    KHKaru Friday, 11 March 2011 10:51 AM

    Kavin Gunaratne Friday, 11 March 2011 08:51 AM

    This is the way responsible people in Sri Lanka are behaving. The world is laughing at Sri Lanka. How can they take responsibility for Sri Lanka. Laughable

    Dr. Harsha Friday, 11 March 2011 08:41 AM

    Go and rest home imcompetent to be in the seat.. World knows an incompetent is in the main seat. is MR sleeping on this?

    I Hussein Friday, 11 March 2011 05:52 AM

    I, in fact love those three great artists. What I meant was their silly characters when performing.

    Nanseer Friday, 11 March 2011 08:30 AM

    He could assume Sri Lankans are modayas but should not make same assumption for people in other country.

    Sarath Friday, 11 March 2011 08:07 AM

    Internal foolish politics and international diplomacy are different things Mr. Preminister

    RAKESP Friday, 11 March 2011 08:03 AM

    Matalan Friday, 11 March 2011 08:08 AM

    May be. But being 'ANYBODY' (never mind PM), should know what to talk, when to talk and how to talk. He is representing 20 million. He talks stupid - we all look stupid.

    pol adi murali Friday, 11 March 2011 08:05 AM

    what can you expect from a man with a cultivators background suddenly elevated to be PM of the country. Sad state of affairs.

    Dilan Friday, 11 March 2011 07:50 AM

    This is what happenes when you keep old men in parliament.

    GanjaRabbit Friday, 11 March 2011 07:49 AM

    Do we look like rabbits????

    raul Friday, 11 March 2011 03:26 AM

    Because of these people of Sri lanka faces international troubles. If he is a good politician must get down from his post after saying sorry to India.

    Gamini Friday, 11 March 2011 04:04 AM

    Honarable PM, be smart & responsible so, pls, do not mislead innocent people in the counry by giving false reports through media to take political advantage in forth comming election.

    Nihal Amarasekera Friday, 11 March 2011 03:34 AM

    What a sad state of affairs; Prime Minister of a country should talk more responsibly. Cross border accusations cannot or should not be retracted so casually. I personally feel the essence of the “revelation” is a fact.

    Kolitha Friday, 11 March 2011 03:33 AM

    Baba wgae...
    Act like a diplomat.
    You are representing Sri Lanka as it's Prime minister.

    Guru Friday, 11 March 2011 04:21 AM

    First of all get your facts correct, before opening your big mouth. It's people like you who create unnecessary problems.

    Sanga Friday, 11 March 2011 04:28 AM
