The government will never let the underworld groups raise their heads whether they are in the South or North. There will be no terrorism in the soil of Sri Lanka hereafter, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said while addressing the main Thaipongal festival in Jaffna today.

He added that there will be no room for religious, ethnic or social differences in the country. (SAJ)

    Words are easy and cheap. MR has to walk his talk.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Monday, 17 January 2011 10:09 AM

    Look who is talking! Almost all the thugs from the underworld are in his government and become ministers and lawmakers.

    Bluff Bluff Monday, 17 January 2011 10:47 AM

    They are not far away, but very close indeed.!

    mike Monday, 17 January 2011 10:48 AM

    all crimes committed in the north were by LTTE. now former LTTE guys have formed gangs got out of camps & comitting crimes. that is the truth. in your definition only a terrorist will be a righteous leader! admit the fact u guys are angry with MR fr defeating LTTE.

    masood Monday, 17 January 2011 11:06 AM

    President is correct this time! Underworld cannot operated if they raise their heads! They always will operate with heads down!! :p

    xlntgson Monday, 17 January 2011 11:04 AM

    @Chandanamithra, don't be quibbling, take it as Sinhala majority country! The word Sri Lankan is coming late, though it is a very vague expression!

    Dee Monday, 17 January 2011 11:19 AM

    Yes terrorism we knew may not rise again, but it certainly is rising in other forms.

    bbb Monday, 17 January 2011 12:04 PM

    "there will be no room for religious, ethnic or social differences in the country" what do you mean by this statement

    Ranjith Monday, 17 January 2011 12:33 PM

    When somebody who came to this position over the shoulders of underworld says this, the above saying is more relevant.

    Yehiya-Doha Monday, 17 January 2011 12:42 PM

    Cost of living terrorist is on top.

    amda Monday, 17 January 2011 01:11 PM

    MR needs to sweep the under world,coz it could be only factor which can topple his family & company in future - as the LTTE is no more

    TommSamUsa Monday, 17 January 2011 09:57 AM

    Well---- Isn't the PAKSE under world who is running the sinking island??????

    Siri Monday, 17 January 2011 02:31 PM

    Applause! Applause!! This is mere talking to the gallery, who can only be idiots. Open your eyes wide. A multitude crimes of every label prevails. Not too late to start reading the news.

    malkanthi Monday, 17 January 2011 03:01 PM

    The one has the wound knows the pain! practical explanation!

    Madihe putha Monday, 17 January 2011 04:00 PM

    Even these words are music to our ears. Please make our motherland a pleasurable place to live peacefully, earn a living legitimately and die when the time comes.

    The Judge Monday, 17 January 2011 04:33 PM

    S.Sriranjan Monday, 17 January 2011 09:45 PM

    Silva Monday, 17 January 2011 11:07 PM

    wara Monday, 17 January 2011 08:32 AM

    ANIMUS Monday, 17 January 2011 07:35 AM

    UNDERWORLD IS UNDERWORLD. THEY WILL NOT RAISE THEIR HEADS, LEST THEY BECOME VISIBLE & IDENTIFIABLE. THE ISSUE IS UNDERWORLD CHARACTERS MASQUERADING AS LAW MAKERS, LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AND KEEPERS OF LAW !

    Chandanamithraka Monday, 17 January 2011 07:40 AM

    Why did he say this is a Sinhalese country then?? Should have told a Sri Lankans country!!

    Shyamalee Monday, 17 January 2011 07:53 AM

    This is good Mr President ,But please follow the process through the judiciary and please do not allow the Police to carry out summary justice!! and please no labeling those opposing views as the underworld!!!

    steve Monday, 17 January 2011 08:01 AM

    Underworld are the rulers!
    I think you forgot your last speech in Jaffna about "no room for ethnic differences" keep it up!

    spark Monday, 17 January 2011 08:08 AM

    Blaming this on underworld is to mislead the population. The crimes taking place in the north are by State bodies and political parties affiliated to the GOSL.. If MR can be bold enough and state that he has failed to control state terrorism, that would have been a righteous leader.

    realworld Monday, 17 January 2011 08:07 AM

    Underwsorld with GOV He know how to use it when ever it want and put blame on Ahinsakaya.

    Pana Epa Wuna Monday, 17 January 2011 08:09 AM

    Correct. Underworld does not have to raise, they are ruling !

    Kotte Kusum. Monday, 17 January 2011 08:13 AM

    Well said Sir. How about the once in the Parliament?

    Mara Wedak Ne! Monday, 17 January 2011 08:19 AM

    Practice what you preach!

    wara Monday, 17 January 2011 08:32 AM

    spark from wire-short !!!

    Janaka Monday, 17 January 2011 08:30 AM

    If underworld cant raise head, then most govt ministers cant raise heads....u know the fact that when u point a finger towards a person 3 other fingers are pointed towards you.

    Konde bendapu china Monday, 17 January 2011 07:21 AM

    So Far So Good,Still there are lots to be done

    knight rider Monday, 17 January 2011 08:35 AM

    most politicians exist and operate with the support of the underworld...unless they are academically and professionally qualified.

    JUNIOR CITIZEN Monday, 17 January 2011 08:52 AM

    justice ? he will go to jail for 2 yrs teach all the inmates the finer points of the game, come out and commence old business with more vigor. Shamalee knows little.

    podi ralahami Monday, 17 January 2011 08:56 AM

    who created the underworld in south...?

    Monarawila Monday, 17 January 2011 09:26 AM

    Yes that is true then the fundamental problem is the Judicial system must be overhauled and the death sentence has to be brought in!!! otherwise my friend the Police will take the law onto their own hands and you may also be its next victim!!!

    zorro Monday, 17 January 2011 09:33 AM
