    saudmohammed Thursday, 15 August 2013 03:48 AM

    Poor Ekneligoda has been ignored. You should have first gone into the abduction of Ekneligoda because it happened in Colombo and under your nose.

    Punchi Putha Wednesday, 14 August 2013 10:17 PM

    Is that because Navaneetham Pillai is coming? What a joker you are! What happened to LLRC?

    Sammy Thursday, 15 August 2013 05:10 AM

    iS This is an eye wash before Navi Pillay's visit and CHOGM?

    Ajithkumar Thursday, 15 August 2013 06:16 AM

    Out of curiorisity , how many commissions have we formed so far, and what was the outcome, and where we are now, with regards to their recommendations....?
    Why don't Government, has a web page, indicating all these information..so that we know, if our money are utilized properly, and it is worth having these commissions.. . But if you ask anyone, the worthiness of the commissions, i am sure, 90% would say not worthy....

    Roger Thursday, 15 August 2013 11:27 AM

    There were no actions all these years. Why all of a sudden now? Did anyone whisper HRC is visiting the Island soon?

    Whom are you trying to fool. You are a big liar. Do you want us to trust this committee. Why a committee at this time. You are answerable to the general public

    Perumal Friday, 16 August 2013 11:00 AM

    Don't say that. Support him at least to keep the draft of the commission's report securely, until the sittings end and CHOGM ends.

    saman rathnayaka Wednesday, 14 August 2013 02:03 PM

    all lies.

    Just like hundreds before will go to the dustbin with no action. It is better to find out what action was taken from previous commissions!!!

    Porky Pig Wednesday, 14 August 2013 06:26 PM

    Noting sort of an International investigation is needed. These are just home and home affairs.

    vimu Wednesday, 14 August 2013 05:04 PM

    What about media personals who have been beaten and murdered ? The King is scared of international pressure and trying to fool the international observers .

    Wenura Wednesday, 14 August 2013 04:17 PM
