    No point . Like many South , most of the Nirth and East people are living in a “DON’t Care “ status. These useless Politician just run the show to keep the people happy by giving talks to boil their blood. End of the day it’s a Business .

    Shan Sunday, 21 January 2024 11:03 PM

    Good...Feel happy as it's not corrupted Sumanthiran.

    Yes we need more

    Hope he will put forward two states in one country. Sri Lanka to prosper two states solution is the only answer. The people who are jealous of the Tamil speaking people rising up, will object to two states. It’s basically jealousy against the TAMILS.

    Congratulations Hon. Sridharan .

    Great to have Sritharan as the leader. I do hope the members will help him to achieve his goals. Be honest, I want M A Sumanthiran to leave the party. He is always try to be the boss of the party. He has done enough damage to the Tamil people. He is a good Solicitor and I wish him very well with his profession.

    Hope he will not bring communalism to gain cheap popularity and instead he will make every effort to develop harmony with the other communities.

    rohan fernando Monday, 22 January 2024 12:01 PM

    Rahhem Monday, 22 January 2024 12:29 PM

    It's a good example for democracy. Elected by secret voting. Hope he will bring the minority issues to the palimentarient in a decent way.

    Is this the beginning of another separation war?

    Kumar Monday, 22 January 2024 10:51 PM

    Only party leader elected by the party members. Unlike maharaja family party and others do not follow this.
