Traitor Ranil's UNP which is now Anti-Federal will oppose these moves for petty political gain amongst the Sinhalese.
This is the way forward. Pillaiyan is now on the right track. The Mahinda Rajapaksa Govt. has now won the confidence of the Minority communities of the East while further increasing it's popularity with the Majority Community.
Mahinda Rajapaksa administration is abviously not Racist.

This is the first slap on the face of (foolish) MR who gave power in the East to an active LTTE leader, who has not surrendered arms yet. Next slap would be to declare independence. And next would be drive away the Slankan army and police from the east. And next would be to declare his true alligence to VP.
Full circle. Sinhalase people get killed and their money spent to keep LTTe in power under the secret pact. |

apiwavamu ratanagamu programmes
I don't know about this, but API GAHAMU RATA ARIMU is the program that all politicians favor. |

I don't mind who rule the country, whether UNP or SLFP and also I don't think it will make any different to the general public at large.Since the independence our country ruled by both the parties and poor are still poor.
If somebody insult any of the leaders there is something critically wrong.
Those are the probabilities.
1) Paid slave of the party.
2) Former domestic servant.
3) A government servant promoted by political influences.
3) Distance relative of the leader.
4) For money
5) Person without personality.

Pillaiyan is still in favour of letting the Sinhala president
1. sack the CM and appoint another man of his choice
2. dissolve the PC and
3. control his PC's budget. (demo-crazy?)

APRC proposals must be implemented without delay..
Any difference between the SO called APRC proposals and discredited 13th Amendment?
APRC Chaiman knelt down in front of the chauvinist master, Mahindutta Rajagemunu and dug out 13th Amendment and put it in his wrapper.
What happened to 17th Amendment?, Appointment of Constitutional Council? |
