"because there are Tamil areas in the East as well." then what about the Sinhalese and Muslims in these areas?

Prelude to a merger? There are Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims all over the country. So are they to be given special stats? If this is not racism by the Tamils, who never apologised for the atrocities they created,and grabbing at the expense of othe communities what is it? And what right has the Prime Minister to make such unilateral decisions. Hpw can we have trust in the Tamils or the government?

Whatever the spin, the Tamils led by Sumanthiran are getting Eelam. Thanks to UNP and its leader Ranil

Unless respective, eligible, efficient, educated, qualified people are appointed to do the right job at the right places for the sake of the country without seeing to caste or creed, have the this country shall have this ego problem and never have the opportunity to develop this country. Main agenda here is nothing than dirty politics.

East suffered as north during the crisis eras that is not completely vanished from the minds of citizens,. the younger citizens of the land are to see what happened before they are born. The very old still talking of chola invasion.

PM has to agree since he doesn't have a 50% majority in the parliament. This is why Sumanthiran is hell bent on removing the executive presidency

Unfortunately the war was only fought in the North and East that has caused a huge destruction. Since the end of the war in 2009 (10 years), somehow the area except the ones belongs to Tamil's have developed very well (see Katankudy). The Hindu temples have been razed down to build fish market (insult to the other community). Wouldn't be a good idea to develop these area to create some job opportunities to the single parents who lost their husbands upon surrendering and some were killed in the shelling. Unknown amount of Tamils were killed, do you realize?I do really appreciate the kindness of Sinhalese through their action of helping those in the east every time there was a natural disaster. I witnessed myself following the Tsunami."Bridge the GAP"
