Colombo district Tamil parliamentarian of the opposition United National Party, T. Maheswaran was shot at Ponnambala Va`neasvarar temple at Kochchikkadai in Colombo while he was paying homage at the shrine and succumbed to his injuries at Colombo hospital. Government of Sri Lanka had reduced the Ministerial Security Division (MSD) guards provided to the MP from from Eighteen to two eleven days ago. The shooting, which also injured two others, comes a few hours after the MP had claimed that he would reveal in-depth details of how abductions and killings in Jaffna are managed by the Sri Lankan military establishment through the EPDP paramilitary from Colombo.
The MP was also shot on the final day of the 2004 election campaign in Colombo.
A UNP candidate, Muthukumar Sivapalan, was shot and killed in Jaffna on 21 December, allegedly by the EPDP.
The paramilitary-cum-political party, EPDP, is led by Douglas Devananda, a cabinet minister in the present Sri Lanka government.
Maheswaran was highly critical about the outfit in his latest interview and said he would reveal how the paramilitary campaign was being managed in Jaffna from Colombo.
He had told Shakti TV`s popular Minnal program that he would come up with in-depth details when the parliament meets on 08 January.

MSD must be too busy protecting Mervyn to worry about Maheswaran.

Lets see LTTE did it right?
Indeed we are getting close to where we need to be now, the Rajapakse Junta has finally started to believe their own lies, they think victory over the Tamil people is within grasp and that has grown heir arrogance beyond bounds.
The time is ripe for the fall.

No, of course UNP did it with the help of Imperialist West, Norway, Pope, Sunday Leader, Sirasa, George Bush, Eric Solheim, UN, UNICEF, Christian Fundamentalists, Kumar Rupasinghe, Lasantha wickranatunage, Maharajas...etc etc (the usual list) .

They blamed Raviraj's death on the LTTE and some actually even believe this, to this day you have brainless parrots like FATE, posting Raviraj as an LTTE victim, so why not Maheswaran too.
Bottom line is Tamil life is cheap for the Sinhala state, you can be an MP or street sweaper, in the end its the same results, your death will be investigated just as dilligently. So called Tamil moderates should consider this when they support the Sinhala state from either party.
