Every Sri Lankan who is interested in his/her country and welfare of the people and peaceful co-existance of all communities must read the questions of Ayesha Zuhair and answers of Justice Wigneswaran.

Ayesha Zuhair's article on the necessity of maiintaining the blance of power in the structure of the three components of government is excellent. Too often this is not maintained in practice to suit the whims and fancies of fascist governments. That is w hen discrimination starts.

. As pointed out by Justice Vigneswaran,we were deceived into accepting Sinhala rule under a unitary constitutuition. That was the donwnffall of the Tamils. We should have demanded self rule for Tamils withoout accepting the Soulbury constitution.
Therefore since 1948 we have been losing our rights.

. Let us reiterate loudly and clearly that we do not need half-baked solutions. We must have self-rule and independance.
