A A A

The TMVP, as an ally of the Tamil Political Parties Forum (PTTF), has opposed the proposal to re-merge the Northern and Eastern Provinces despite all the other political entities in the Forum being in favour of it.

The forum consists of ten Tamil parties such as the EPDP, EPRLF (Pathmanabha) Group, PLOTE and the Tamil National Liberation Alliance (TNLA)

TNLA General Secretary, M.K. Sivajilingam said that the forum would find it difficult to reach consensus on this issue as a result. (KB)

Who is Pillaiyan? Where is his TMVP? No Tamils are behind it. The voice of pillaiyan is not his voice, it belongs to the Govt.party.

You can be politically blind and stupid but did MR start the war? or did he finish it? mm..

Hamzie, Merging the two provinces wasn't a requirement at all even in 1987, just under terrorists' request India forced it on JR and it remained. Where did you read the 'Government' in this article? It's not a government priority, it is some Tamil politicians are bringing it up.

No; it is not the case here. He will have no chance to hold any position in the North-East merged Prov. Council.... all power hungry people not hesitating to sacrifice the common man for the lust of power of their own...vultures in other words.

C. Senthilan Monday, 08 November 2010 01:52 AM

That means, as in the past the party in power is going to say that we cannot do anything until they are united! What a joke peculiar to this country.

Jukian Monday, 08 November 2010 01:45 AM

Because MAHINDA can't or incapable of solving any of the burning problems in the country. He wants to create another calamity in the county for him to carry on.

This de-merger a the hard earned result by JVP's land mark court case. Do not just re-merge again.

Full agreement with Fair and square..
Why need divisions.
Colombo is now like east, equal propotions from all ethinic groups, in Kandy also tamil population is increasing.

Fair n Square Sunday, 07 November 2010 11:57 AM

Let the country be as it is. Live as neighbors will ya? No animosity, hatred or division. IF we could have lived like that before independence and after, why not now? It's politicians with ulterior motives who want divisions. THINK as SRI-LANKANS' and not by race or religion IF our country is to prosper.

When the BRITISH let the countries that they ruled, they made sure they incited 2 communities so that they will be in war with each other and seek the MASTERS help for arbitration. their philosophy is DIVIDE AND RULE.

Hamzie-Doha Sunday, 07 November 2010 11:35 AM

Is this a top priority of the GOSL?

There are so many issues to solve i.e. poverty, education & economy etc. Why this re-merging take top place in the Government agenda?

seruvila Sunday, 07 November 2010 11:20 AM

patriot Sunday, 07 November 2010 11:16 AM

Well decision has been taken by TMVP.....Pillyan knows that the East will be absorbed by the North once it's emerged....
