Good! Any Unity among Tamils against the LTTE is a GOOD THING for Sri Lanka, and a GOOD THING for Tamils. The LTTE are the curse of the Tamil ethnic group, – and shame on all you who Blindly support the LTTE as you support the Systematic Oppression of your own ethnic group. Dont sit there complaining about the wrong doings of Karuna when you all Willingly Turn a Blind Eye to the LTTE’s atrocities against the LTTE.

“The Sinhalese refer minorities from the east as ‘Madda Minisu or Maddayo’-people with less brain. ”

I’m Sinhalese and I have never heard of this nonsense. Please do not spread lies.

This refers to Humanrights comments on 12/11. He states that East needs Karuna’s leadership no matter what. Even Karuna could rule from UK while he is in exile. TMVP should unite and SL should encourage TMVP to unite. He must be crazy? Everybody knows that SLG intelligence operatives handling the TMVP created this divide as instructed by their political leaders for two reasons to weaken the East Tamils bargaining power and to satisfy Muslim supporters in the east .The Sinhalese refer minorities from the east as ‘Madda Minisu or Maddayo’-people with less brain. The TMVP has confirmed this.

He also states thatLTTE should have negotiated with Karuna and let him control east.

Karuna has planned to leave LTTE for his own benefit not the East Tamils .His investments and his family living abroad clearly demonstrates .He cleverly used the North, East divide among Tamils. As politicians like Nalliah to Devanayakam used the cast difference (predominately Mookuwar cast in East and Vellar cast in the North).I have worked, married and lived in the East for 15 years. I have experienced this divide in my own family. I have married to a distant relative of Rajan Sathiayamoorthy .His father was from Jaffna. He worked as an Apothecary in Sammnathurai Hospital .Rajan’s only daughter is married to a sinhala policeman. I have noticed and heard from my friends that siblings of mixed parents of North and East are anti LTTE or anti North.

East needs Karuna’s leadership no matter what. Even Karuna could rule from UK while he is in exile. TMVP should unite and SL should encourage TMVP to unite. SL should build good relationship with TMVP. East is different from north and other parts of the country. Please leave them alone to rule themselves. Yes, of cause most of them speaks Tamil in EAST and North but North still see east as lower. LTTE should have negotiated with Karuna and let him control east. Karuna did not have more places to go except SL Government’s support. SL government should have used him to get him elected as Chief Minister for east and East would have been supportive with any Government. Now both missed the boat. LTTE and SL lost their chances to capture Eastern people’s hearts

Good luck. How can the ruthless Karuana control the others when he can not return. Remember, this is the guy butchered 600 Sinhalese policemen without even knowing to the head office. SL used him to its advantage and dumped him. SL government should do the same with other dogs or smoke these morons.

From the general tone of this article, it seems DBS actually likes these guys. It was DBS who wrote a piece on the abduction, rape, and killings of the TRO members by these same people.
