Posters have been put up in Vavuniya town and suburbs requesting people to light a lamp in each house and school, in view of the Mahaviru day that falls on November 27 to commemorate slain LTTE Leader V. Prabhakaran’s birthday and LTTE cadres who were killed while fighting for Tamil Eelam.

The theme of the posters was ‘Our aim is Tamil Eelam-Lets Celebrate Mahaviru Day’

Police sources said although the LTTE is no longer active, some elements attempt to celebrate the Mahaviru Day. (Romesh Madhusanka)

Should the Tamils be allowed to mourn the loss of their sons and daughters to the conflict? Absolutely. Should the Tamils be allowed to do it in the name of fighting for Eelam? No.

These posters appear every year even under MR

Go to hell, No Tamil Eelam, we Tamils too are against your new work theme. Dont try to be smart idiots. We suffered a lot because of such idiots.So better stop it.

Totally agree with Bala. Just look how JVP celebrate 71, 87-89 butchers. Yes, Prabhakaran was a terrorist but so was Wijeveera!

in UK, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are well defined regions of English, Welsh. Scottish and Irish people respectively. Still they are united with mutual respect.

Show these to Mangala so that he can lift the ban on the remaining 8 banned terrorists organisations too.
