Malkanthi, in 70s & during Premadasa gvt, opposition was very safe.. hope you can remember that regime as well. Pls dnt be narrow minded

Cham Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:53 PM

71 and 88/89 people were in the same situation. He can experience it now

Dee Tuesday, 16 November 2010 01:06 PM

why only jaffna? the whole place is beyond control, you may not find bombs going off, but everything else happens.

V.D.Jayawardene Tuesday, 16 November 2010 01:12 PM

To which nationality do these armed groups in Jaffna belong?

spark Tuesday, 16 November 2010 07:29 AM

This is state sponsored terrorism and nothing else. When we elected MR for the second term, we have acknowledged and accepted this type of governance very much knowingly.

Sue Tuesday, 16 November 2010 01:22 PM

Its high time people realized that no one who does not bow down to the Great King, the Maharajano is safe anywhere in Sri Lanka.

Knight Rider Wednesday, 17 November 2010 03:05 AM

Nada Ruban Sethu Tuesday, 16 November 2010 01:45 PM

Mohamed Tuesday, 16 November 2010 08:02 AM

Why are the Police force for? Are they meant to be sleeping & get "Ping Gonna" salary every month? Mr. IGP please note.

Ex Army Tuesday, 16 November 2010 08:20 AM

Realistically, Police are not safe in any part of this island, all the shots are called by Land Rovers and White vans in this country. Homeless to Police, all helpless.

Neomal Tuesday, 16 November 2010 02:44 PM

So, Sri Lanka has got warlords above the ones in National dress?

Smart Aleck Wednesday, 17 November 2010 04:24 AM

Govt. Big Boys may be going too far and asking for an unnecessary headache.

krish Tuesday, 16 November 2010 08:43 AM

those groups are backed by douglos & blesses by the government.police cant do anything.

Puwak Badeliya Wednesday, 17 November 2010 08:51 AM

Very well said. That is the real truth.

S.Yogi Wednesday, 17 November 2010 01:22 PM

Atleast some one have the gutts to admit. Thank you Kithul Ramba

Kithul Ramba Tuesday, 16 November 2010 03:14 PM

Sorry this happened. Do not blame the Tamils, it is our boys behind.

Wara Tuesday, 16 November 2010 09:10 AM

First they should give the list of people who disappeared by them in 1988-90 period. If you point one finger to other, remain 4 is pointing your self.

bandara Tuesday, 16 November 2010 03:55 PM

Sammy Tuesday, 16 November 2010 05:30 PM

Do not make Jaffna go from a place of terrorists to a place of gangsters.

malkanthi Tuesday, 16 November 2010 10:14 AM

Ya you are correct, but the present one is the best out of the worst.

yikes Wednesday, 17 November 2010 06:10 AM

Nalin Tuesday, 16 November 2010 10:27 AM

deyyiya Tuesday, 16 November 2010 07:14 PM

Then we have to also start questioning the murderers who killed innocent tamils during 1983 riots...or is that conviniently forgotten?

voter Tuesday, 16 November 2010 11:11 AM

where ever JVP goes. there comes a problem, and a armed group that is out of control for the government forces.

NADARAJAH SETHURUPAN Tuesday, 16 November 2010 09:14 PM

LTTE is the only one getting fund from Norway.

Fayad Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:21 AM

Ane Anichchan Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:21 AM

Ruwan Ferdinandez Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:27 AM

Armed groups controlling Jaffna?? well that's what was happenning all those years and it's been liberated now. If the JVP lot keeps away from Jaffna, it will be OK.

sf Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:28 AM

The War was over but Peace was not established properly, The JVP went there to help find the dissapeared people, and they were beaten. things are very clear as to what is happening.

NADARAJAH SETHURUPAN Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:37 AM

how such certain armed groups are controlling government-controlled areas, including Jaffna.

steve Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:45 AM

I told you so, get visa from Douglas if you are to go to North!
I feel sorry for the Jvp.. what goes around, comes around!

malkanthi Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:47 AM

Opposition is anyway not safe in any part of sri lanka. All happenings are beyond police control, that's why is no law and order today.

Puwak Badeliya Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:26 PM

hi hee.. kana palenna kala meka.

azdaktoday Tuesday, 16 November 2010 12:32 PM

Has the JVP given up their notorious racist thinking now?

Percy Mandawala Tuesday, 16 November 2010 06:49 AM

JVP has gone to Jaffna to seek justice for our fellow citizens . Not for fun. Well done brave JVPers.
