Issuing a statement the Prime Minister said that as a nation, Sri Lanka faced several such situations in the past as well. “We should face this strongly, to defeat those powers,” the Premier said.

spark Monday, 06 December 2010 03:14 AM

However in patriotic Sri Lanka, the Rajapakse's are able to bluff the sinhalese all the time.

citizen1 Monday, 06 December 2010 04:51 AM

New hobby.

Faqi Monday, 06 December 2010 05:03 AM

shovini Sunday, 05 December 2010 10:42 AM

DM Jayaratne you expose the atrocities in your country first and put them right before interfering in the affairs of the other countries.

Mandy Sunday, 05 December 2010 10:49 AM

Well said Shovini. I hope these things get into our so called politicians. I freally dont know what has become of these so called Prime Minister and the cabinet. From where did they come??????

hariharan Sunday, 05 December 2010 10:51 AM

Well said, correct yourself and world will correct itself. Shocking to see Srilankans turning a blind eye and/or justifying atrocities committed in the name of Patriotism!

OJ Sunday, 05 December 2010 11:22 AM

president should not have gone in the 1st place, when the country has many unresolved issues.

KD Sunday, 05 December 2010 11:23 AM

UK gave into LTTE pressure. Any where in the world, politicians will do anything for few votes and campaign money.

Karthik Monday, 06 December 2010 06:03 AM

Till people like you are ministers in this country we will never be developed. Don’t even think of becoming Singapore / wonder of asia till you politicians change the way you think

indike Monday, 06 December 2010 06:14 AM

First release Gen. Sarath Fonseka. Then everyone in Sri lanka will help the government as one.

nagu Monday, 06 December 2010 03:48 PM

Are you a LankanLion Or Lankan Tiger?

pd Sunday, 05 December 2010 11:43 AM

shovini, u are right! but those who committed atrocities hv been killed by our brave forces. da idiotic terrorist are rotting in hell now!

eddy Sunday, 05 December 2010 11:47 AM

The West is learning. They use terrorism for their benefits.Allow them to enter as illegals and find out how to screw other countries,and how to benefit politically. The ungratefuls will eventually be purged out,burn the bridges. The local Tamils will take a very strong stance because they see the truth.The manipulation is over.You can bluff all the people some times,some people all the time, and not all the people all the time.

kap Sunday, 05 December 2010 11:53 AM

Dear Mr Prime Minister, I thought that the annual UN meeting is all about discussing these issues. What would all these leaders speak during the time they spend in NYC , after spending so much of public money? Mr President spoke alot about development are terrorism and how to fight it globally. Why couldn't you give him few points about this , then???? we are so clueless

Kadira Sunday, 05 December 2010 12:12 PM

What atrocities? or do you mean the ones committed by the LTTE?

Arasi Sunday, 05 December 2010 12:14 PM

Get help from our dearest friends North korea and Iran

Kadira Sunday, 05 December 2010 12:15 PM

So Called Politicians? where do they come from? have you ever lived in this country? if you do, you would know where he comes from and he is a veteran politician!

tiger Sunday, 05 December 2010 12:51 PM

As SHOVINI said- PM- 1ST GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER-BEFORE -U POINT YOUR FINGER TO OTHER COUNTRIES

sribala Sunday, 05 December 2010 01:13 PM

The truth is that the international community has clearly seen the evil side of our Sinhala mindset.

sam Sunday, 05 December 2010 01:45 PM

Yehiya-Doha Sunday, 05 December 2010 02:21 PM

suba Monday, 06 December 2010 08:16 AM

We should expose the double standards of our Govt. too.

One for the rich and one for the poor.

One for party men and another for non party men.
