SENTENCE EACH FOR 50 YRS HARD LABOUR FOR DAMAGING THE COUNTRY , ARREST THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND THEM , SEND THEM TO PRISON IN KILINOCHI , TRINCO , JAFFNA . DO NOT KEEP THEM IN COLOMBO OR SOUTHERN AREAS. LET THEM PAY THE PRICE OF THEIR LIVES FOR DOING SUCH THINGS SPONSORED BY THE EX-ROBBER REGIME

Development Scheme of this kind attracts protest - see whathappens in India. Things will settle down as the Govt. keeps its programmes steady ahead.
