LTTE please give all your funds to the people who realy needs it.

Lobo Monday, 23 September 2013 07:30 AM

After the euphoria has worn off the tamils will realize what they have won is a very insignificant victory as they will still be controlled by the central govt. So enjoy the feeling while it lasts.

Suq Madique Monday, 23 September 2013 07:27 AM

'Masages'??? you guys running massage parlours also??

fawzan Sunday, 22 September 2013 06:44 PM

Ranil, Only southern terrorism has created LTTE. You have to ask your president whether needs LTTE any more?

karu Sunday, 22 September 2013 06:42 PM

This is not the end guys to boast, but to compromise with the existing Government and come for good solutions for the betterment of your area.

Kiris Baba Amaray Sunday, 22 September 2013 03:34 PM

Well & good, please don't go for any War against the Govt., but compromise with the good Governance and come for a good settlement with mutual under-standings, No War again.

Jena Sunday, 22 September 2013 02:30 PM

being a Srilankan Tamil and an extremist to some extend, i still respect your comment.. no seperation but self determination is essential..

Bumblebee Sunday, 22 September 2013 02:23 PM

Madam Pillay saw this all in a week. For the "so called patriots" an election was needed.

Road runner Sunday, 22 September 2013 10:02 AM

Yes, 100% correct.

RamUK Sunday, 22 September 2013 02:12 AM

I always thought we from abroad has diff of opinion regarding what Tamils wants in north and east but i was wrong. they need the freedom of expression and self ruling not buns and biscuits. We will support the funds thru PC and other forms to Development....Keep moving...

Nada Sunday, 22 September 2013 07:51 AM

Well done the voters

Ranil Sunday, 22 September 2013 07:35 AM

I hope they will do good but not grow the terrorists - the tigers. Well done PFA you are there as the opposition and keep them in place.

kalu nangi Sunday, 22 September 2013 03:35 AM

You are right. There is no separation ,,,,,,only the desire to govern their destinies. The name ITAK denotes Sri Lanka Tamils. If they wanted separation, would they call themselves Sri Lanka Tamils?

jamaljj Sunday, 22 September 2013 03:27 AM

Blood is thicker than water.

karan Sunday, 22 September 2013 03:20 AM
