His game plan will not work. He should have formed a party to unite tamils and sinhalese.

The man fought against the SL forces for at least 15 years then switch side to fight his own side, can this man be trusted by anyone?

Any Party that has the name of a race/religion should be considered 'Racist' IMO. Do you see parties like 'Pure AngloSaxon Party' in the UK?

Dee Monday, 13 February 2017 01:42 PM

The 'war heros' party!

Karuna will be a co partner of the mal pohottuwa.Remember he spoke at the Nugegoda rally.

usaguy Monday, 13 February 2017 12:18 PM

I agree with most comments. its obviously a racially motivated party. parties using words like sinhala Tamil Muslim Islam should not be allowed via DM Android App

The plan is to start the party and Karuna will lean to UNP gradually, wait and see.

Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 13 February 2017 11:17 AM

He is still paid by Mahinda for a Main Task !!!, that is for sure.

Desmond Jeromme Monday, 13 February 2017 11:16 AM

DM Sunday, 12 February 2017 09:55 AM

J Palitha Sunday, 12 February 2017 07:40 PM

Very soon he will do it on a sly as this is the Master plan of Mahinda.

Manuel Benjamin Sunday, 12 February 2017 07:32 PM

This culprit should be arrested as he too looted with MR

Kiris Baba Amaray Sunday, 12 February 2017 07:28 PM

Why he is not arrested yet?

Desmond Jeromme Sunday, 12 February 2017 07:28 PM

No buy now he should have been sent to gallows.

chandra Sunday, 12 February 2017 07:12 PM

Some are claiming they were enhineered Karuna to defact from LTTE. Then why did not Karuna invite them for chief guest via DM Android App

seqi Sunday, 12 February 2017 06:57 PM

no party should be formed along racial or religious lines via DM Android App

Shelly Sunday, 12 February 2017 12:29 PM

A clear indication why Constitution should have a clause to say no poltical party should formed on racial lines. via DM Android App

guru Sunday, 12 February 2017 11:47 AM

He should have invited Mahinda Rajapakse as the chief guest for the ceremony and the patron to the new party.

SL Sunday, 12 February 2017 11:38 AM

No need karuna to reduce UNP votes,UNP themselves have reduced their votes.

Kariyawasam Sunday, 12 February 2017 10:38 AM

Purpose of this party is very clear. This is to split Tamil votes and reduce UNP vote base. This should be MR's plan....
