Yes, its a good move. But ,to discuss the genuine concerns? Like what? Eelam? Come to terms with whats happening TNA. Don't push the moderate tamils (Not Racists) in to misery again. We have to develop as one nation.

Don't talk rubish thinking you are smart. Genunie concerns means resettlement, rerehabilitatio n and development.. Do you thing that our President and the TNA MPs are fools to talk about the untakable?

-17+13 # Guest 2010-02-01 16:54

Though late, decision is welcome.

-22+25 # Guest 2010-02-01 16:57

TNA will be called patriots now...

-10+14 # Guest 2010-02-01 17:11

It is a good move in the right direction for national reconciliation communal harmony.
We all need peace to dawn in our country which is still not there for our bad luck.

maybe the president should wait till the parliamentary elections are over, and start whatever the discussions with the newly elected MPs from north.

ok, give up your five conditions on tamil eelam and come forward to build the country. Otherwise get lost. GOSL has enough people to get 2/3.

Excellent Idea, Please TNA, go that extra mile to meet The President and be flexible. You need to help the next generation of SriLankans. Together we can make SriLanka a pradise. Please do before the General Election.

it's already a two different nations ( Sinhala speaking & Tamil speaking) no one say there is only a one nation, but can be live under one country if all of us ready to share the equality (rights) among humans who born and living in this piece of land.

The TNA got well and truly licked in the Presidential Election. The Sampanthans of the Tamil Community should learn to give up. But these are people who have made a life long career by creating misery and by pitching one against the other. They thrive by that. But do the tamils realize that. I do not think so. All the so called sufferings of the tamils are man made to suit a few extremist tamil politicians.

-7+11 # Guest 2010-02-01 20:22

yes but its not only made by the Tamil politicians, the Sinhala politicians have played their part too. so much so if you read some of the comments posted by the so called educated tamils and Sinhalease you see how frequently racist comments are made.

-12+15 # Guest 2010-02-01 17:54

Another agreement for the next election ?.

-17+11 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:05

Before giving TNA a platform to exploit, their constitution has to be checked to see how, among other things, the officers are elected and how they are funded. Just as I believe the SLMC does not represent all Muslims, the TNA does not represent all Tamils.

-13+10 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:23

There are sufficient mechanisms in place to discuss such issues without the need to go through the TNA.

The TNA is redundant.

-6+13 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:23

Yes , you have to do something for the people who voted for you

-20+11 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:28

Who are these TNA ?
Comprising Sampanthan, Senathirajah and another...
Are the others too in it?

if not, what is there to discuss.
Even the Harrow Councillor Thaya Iddikaddar is not in favor of the TNA these days.

-18+17 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:29

TNA! Poor General lost because of you. Now are you crawling on your belly to MR?

-15+16 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:51

Tamil Eelam by hook or crook. Through SF or MR. They have not changed, still asking for the same pound of flesh.

-7+7 # Guest 2010-02-02 00:16

How about equal rights for them?

-19+10 # Guest 2010-02-01 18:54

Yes , should discuss but after the general elections. TNA misled Tamil people on recently concluded presidential elections & we have to wait for the outcome of general election to see if there will be any change of attitude to discuss with fresh mandate.

-15+10 # Guest 2010-02-01 22:43

TNA is formed by LTTE. LTTE is no more. Then who are TNA to discuss? They are bunch of jokers.

-8+10 # Guest 2010-02-01 23:25

Beware Mr. President, this may be another election 'gundoo'! Don't get caurght!

-8+9 # Guest 2010-02-01 23:38

The world knows the TNA betrayals!

-3+17 # Guest 2010-02-02 00:57

Tamils are not beggars! But, the TNA are beggars!

-6+9 # Guest 2010-02-02 01:06

TNA parliamentarian s were elected with the blessings of the LTTE. Now, they have to face reality. The Tamil people will elect their true representatives , to the next parliament. So, these 'old foxes' will lose!

-7+2 # Guest 2010-02-02 01:41

Who knows, next the parties of both Douglas Devananda and Sambanthan, might be seen doing a 'waltz' together?

-3+10 # Guest 2010-02-02 01:56

The TNA has now decided to do a 'U-turn' and run to MR! How can this bunch of jokers either lead or represent the Tamils?

-2+3 # Guest 2010-02-02 02:27

I'd like to see the response of 'Wanawansa'!

-7+2 # Guest 2010-02-02 05:11

This is a good move! All Sri Lankans should change their mind-set, to accept all nationalities and live with one another, as one country!
