February 2008:
Sirasa TV and Shakthi TV in its evening news telecast on last Monday reported that an unidentified gang that had come in a white van abducted a person named Muththusami Ilankoowan at Pettah, Colombo on the same day evening.

LTTE do not know the existance of a word called 'peace', so upon hearing this word they interpret it as 'piece' !

We are a tiny body of Tamils (Singhalese, or any other races, are welcome, too) from all over the globe got together because we understood that Sri Lanka is important. It is important to settle our concerns. We want to sort out all the issues related to ethnic minorities in Sri Lanka. But if the country is destroyed by the current war, then there would be no country for us to fight for our future.

It is fascinating to note the main point of this blog. It seems that Mr. Wickramasinghe, the opposition leader in Sri Lanka, Sirasa/ Maharajah media system, Tamil Tigers and some of the NGOs functioning in Sri Lanka appear to have just the converse of our ideals. They do not care what happens to Sri Lanka. They are ready to put up with the annihilation of Sri Lanka.
