    They're all different when they start the they become the same.

    nalaka Tuesday, 01 October 2013 09:45 AM

    Hon CV Vigneswaran, C.M.,
    Congratulations. You have tremendous responsibility to put the life of northerners back in track. As a first step , you may form a committee to report you on what took place during the last phase of the war in the north province . And you may use all your powers to bring any wrong doers to the books and let the justice prevail in north again. Hope you will do it .

    Kiris Baba Amaray Tuesday, 01 October 2013 10:32 AM

    Weerawansa now what are you going to talk. Man without knowing the truth, please don't utter bull shit, saying that Vigneswaran wilt face the Governor etc., Don't try to fool others and finally you fool yourself.

    Kiris Baba Amaray Tuesday, 01 October 2013 10:34 AM

    Congratulations for the new CM of Jaffna. Co-operate with the Government and improve the North. Good luck....

    gowravi Tuesday, 01 October 2013 10:58 AM

    Congratulations Sir, God Bless You & Protect you always

    sobers Tuesday, 01 October 2013 11:21 AM

    Most admirable thing about this TNA, is they are not corrupt and follow simple life patterns. Keep it up.

    Perumal Tuesday, 01 October 2013 12:46 PM

    Yes, the Governor might have to treat him as having vacated post, perhaps!

    BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 01 October 2013 09:40 AM

    Especially the southern types, including our so called beloved President.

    Perera Tuesday, 01 October 2013 12:50 PM

    For once some one in politics we can call respectable, educated and with wisdom.

    Sonali Tuesday, 01 October 2013 03:23 PM

    Now he's the best answer to the voices of discrimination against Tamils. He was raised in Colombo, studied at best government school Royal college, got educated and became a lawyer and rose and got appointed to Supreme Court, the Highest Apex Body of court of law - all being a Tamil. So where is the discrimination agaisnt Tamils???

    fazlyfazlyzly Tuesday, 01 October 2013 03:45 PM

    so, he can accept an appointment letter, but does not want to swear alleigance to the Constitutional requirement before the Governor . Funny!

    Jagath Leanage Tuesday, 01 October 2013 03:54 PM

    Now its your turn Mr.Vigneswaran. People trusted you, they believe you will develop Northern area. And also you have to ensure no more uprising as you have witnessed BRUTALITY of it.

    Frita Tuesday, 01 October 2013 08:15 PM

    I sincerely think Vigna will do an honest job . TNA should contest all provinces .....! They will,bring value for the effort ...!

    Manoj Tuesday, 01 October 2013 08:15 PM

    I thought TNA was averse meeting G.A. Chandrasiri. But this man well be hope to all tamils.

    sarath Wednesday, 02 October 2013 12:48 AM

    people keep confidence in Mr Vigneshwaram as a moderate person who will bring about the burning issues ahead of reconciliation. but from the way he spoke about Prabha and Keppetipola Disawe made me to brand him also to yet another ordinary Tamil politician who does not want get any solution.

    Patriotic Srilankan Wednesday, 02 October 2013 02:23 AM

    Contratulation,hope to see north setting an example to other part of sl.

    Frank Wednesday, 02 October 2013 02:26 AM

    The foundation stone is laid

    Sarath Kumara Tuesday, 01 October 2013 08:14 AM

    Hon. Governor: Now you have to walk the talk while uniting all the communities under one flag. Congrats!

    Suq Madique Tuesday, 01 October 2013 07:11 AM

    Why not? They want to be equal to the Sinhalese MPs right?

    Nodrog Tuesday, 01 October 2013 07:12 AM

    CHANDRA Tuesday, 01 October 2013 08:04 AM

    CONGRATULATION. DO YOUR DUTY WITHOUT ANY FEAR. WE WANT THE CALIBER OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU.DO WHAT THE TAMIL EXPECTATION.

    Kusuma Tuesday, 01 October 2013 08:12 AM

    The swearing-in ceremoney should have been completed in the presence of the outgoing CM when collecting of his Letter of Appointment! Now looking for another auspicious day for that!

    ANTON Tuesday, 01 October 2013 06:40 AM

    YEP, FIRST HE WILL SET UP HIS CABINET, APPOINT COUPLE OF SECRETARIES, ORDER SOME PAJERO VEHICLES, OFFICIAL HOUSES..............

    Saskia Tuesday, 01 October 2013 09:05 AM

    His first task is to remove the military from northern province.
    His second task is to get all the lands acquired by government back and give it to the owners.
    His third task is to establish a new police department and catch all the culprits who are involved in degrading our traditions. This includes sex workers, drug dealers etc. This is necessary in order to safeguard our valuable cultural values.

    Perumal Tuesday, 01 October 2013 09:36 AM
