Prime Minister David Cameron is currently visiting the Uthayan newspaper office in Jaffna after concluding a meeting with the Northern Province Chief Minister C.V Wigneswaran at the Jaffna library.

The Prime Minister had boarded a special plane after the conclusion of the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting ( CHOGM).

The meeting had lasted for close to half an hour.

“I'm the first leader to go to the north of Sri Lanka since 1948. I want to shine a light on chilling events there first hand and Political leaders in the north of Sri Lanka tell me they are glad I've come to help highlight what is happening here,” Cemeron tweeted.

Meanwhile group of around 200 demonstrators of ‘The families of those who disappeared’ had attempted to stop the convoy from leaving the premises after the meeting. .( N. Parameshwaram)

Why Cameron takes undue worry about Tamils more than Man Mohan Singh? Has he got any Tamils connection in UK?

Thanks to MR! Really ?

Ruwan Fernando Saturday, 16 November 2013 07:37 AM

I think you should change your name if you are going to post such retarded replies

nicky karunarathna Saturday, 16 November 2013 04:50 AM

Cameron should worship MR making all this possible for him to go in one piece and come out one piece. Thank to MR today there is a Chief minister who he can speak to - who is elected by people under democratic system of government and civilized administration without AK47s, C4 bombs, Tamil tiger terrorist uniforms and suicide vests.

sri lanka not a colony anymore

Nilan Perera Saturday, 16 November 2013 03:59 AM

That is because tobacco prices went down afterwards. So not many planttions and less labour required from South India.

Suq Madique Friday, 15 November 2013 02:39 PM

Thats because they then started making unreasonable demands

MrKasthuri Friday, 15 November 2013 02:16 PM

Talking highly about their HR records, but their journalists robing our poor people, even not spared a driver.

Neutral thinker Friday, 15 November 2013 02:15 PM

Hon.Sir, Northern people will be grateful to you for your visit. please persuade SL government to implement 13th soon. this is a retarded government which have never done anything for minorities without foreign intervention.

How come Mr. Cameron did not visit Anuradhapura or Aranthalawa to talk to the poor villagers whose kith and kin were brutally massacred by the LTTE

Tamils lived happily during the period 1790 to 1948 under the British Colony, after that they lost freedom of living at their homeland

Mother nature will answer the injustice

zorro Friday, 15 November 2013 12:57 PM

Yes nalaka, this time the same game from the other side. If the GOSL pull the strings you would tell the other fake stories!

MrKasthuri Friday, 15 November 2013 12:57 PM

Do not forget TNA, that you enjoy this freedom today due to sacrifices made by valiant SL forces. Thanks them first before bending towards westerners.

Punny Pellow Friday, 15 November 2013 11:55 AM

What do you think MR is up to? From the CHAIR the MAN will be talking a lot of 'kaivaru' about the benefits to the NATION about the WEALTH for COMMON POVERTY!!! For eg. Postal dept, a thundering loss but, have built a 317 m VIP luxury bungalow in N'eliya. For the COMMON MAN to OVERCOME POVERTY?

Camoran will understand the originality when he speaks to Tamil leaders and fake SL govt.

Mithy Friday, 15 November 2013 11:00 AM
