Guys! You don't know the fact that Fuel prices in Jaffna is still more expensive than other areas of Sri Lanka. I don't know the exact price but it is still higher than colombo.

This is to show the entire world that any part of Sri Lanka is safe for even the president and his entire cabinet to have a meeting. I can understand why the LTTE supporters are agitated. But what does not make sense is why the anti govt readers don't undertand the simple reason for having the metting in Kili.

Why price reduction is only applicable to Jaffna. Is it a separate country.

Its a good move by the Govt, but if they can reduce the fuel prices in the North why cant they reduce it in the other areas. This is absurd decision of the Govt. Also the Cabinet must put all its resources into use and find a quick solution to the displaced persons who have been living for more than an year as refugees in their own land.

It is always better if equality is applied covering the entire island on all matters rather than giving preferences area wise, to justify the concept of one nation.
