    When would they fix trials against Karuna Amman and Pillayan for killing thousands of our soldiers and other atrocities committed against Sinhalese, Muslims and even Tamil people?

    leaving politics aside, if the made did something wrong, he deserves punishment. he is just like everyone else in politics in this country...when you are in power you can get away with anything. when you are not in power also you can get away if you align with the current regime..this is how it works in the banana republic
