In other words, all the patriots are let out to go free and the only Traitor is in jail for treason! What a fools' paradise that we live in.

All these people are enjoying new freedom, and you guys only care about someone who got lost in his fame and tried to go beyond what was required of him.

MTR Thursday, 30 September 2010 10:37 AM

JM Thursday, 30 September 2010 09:15 AM

good...........BUT SF IS REMANDED. WHAT A COUNTRY?

nikita Thursday, 30 September 2010 10:25 AM

SF had betrayed the nation (thats mean sataka rajathuma) and those LTTE was against the people (thats us). thats why they were pardoned and SF in jail.

Saradial Thursday, 30 September 2010 10:06 AM

LTTE was against country its pardonable, but SF was against Raja Gedara its not pardonable.

pd Thursday, 30 September 2010 09:56 AM

What a wonderful gesture by MR! when people expected him to take revenge what does he do reconciliation. As for SF who tried to overthrow him what can he do except keep him in jail? SF is a dictator who should never be allowed to take da country to chaos again.

malkanthi Thursday, 30 September 2010 09:52 AM

Well done DEW! He got the ideal ministry. Rehabilitation is badly needed for some parliamentarians, henchmen and hooligans in the south.

suran Thursday, 30 September 2010 09:51 AM

why not

God loves the victims and suppressed and has a wonderful plan to flourish them. Don't worry of being abandoned.

Hasiya Thursday, 30 September 2010 09:19 AM

Ah, then we can rehabilitate SF & release him also after 16 months... other than keeping for 3 years in prison

Damen Thursday, 30 September 2010 09:18 AM

Better release them. Don't send them to walikada by any chance they will kill SF biting.
