I did not have any problems as a Tamil - Murali
Thursday, 28 March 2013 - 9:27 PM SL Time
|
`I played for 20 years in the Lankan team, I did not have any problems as a Tamil. The government and the cricket board always supported me throughout my career even when I went through a lot of problems. Earlier there was a time of war between the Tamils and Lankans but now people are living in peace in my country. So the concerned authorities in India must come and see how we are living in Sri Lanka and forget what happened in the past. We don`t want another war-like situation now.`

Of Jayalalithaa s bouncers..
Thursday, 28 March 2013 - 3:50 AM SL Time

It looks as if Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa had resorted to UDI (Unilateral Declaration of Independence). She runs her state according to her whims and fancies without caring two hoots about the writ of the Centre. India is urging Sri Lanka to respect human rights quite rightly so but regrettably it cannot even safeguard Sri Lankan cricketers` right to play on its soil! Jayalalithaa has banned them from playing in the IPL matches to be held in Chennai. She has also thrown out Sri Lankan schoolchildren who went there to play soccer.

Surveillance and shoddy treatment by the State are some of the things which we commonly hear in the case of refugees across the world and the Madurai Sri Lankan Tamil refugee camps at Anaiyur and Koodal Nagar (Tamil Nadu) are no exception. Everyday life in terms of basic amenities is still out of reach for them, it said.
