Few days ago, “The Hindu” an Indian newspaper published a news citing an information purportedly given by Indian Intelligence that LTTE was regrouping in Mullivaikal on May 18th on the day of Tamil genocide Remembrance Day for an attack (1). While reading this news, one may recall the Sri Lankan radio news during the war, where many blatant lies and fabrications were unraveled quoting a news agency called “Lanka Puvath“. Whenever India makes a major political move in Sri Lanka the Indian intelligence Agency publishes similar blatant and fabricated stories either directly or through their news agencies like “The Hindu”.
Prior to the 2019 Easter attacks, Indian intelligence had reportedly warned of possible attacks by Islamic fundamentalists (2). But the Cardinal and many others are now claiming that the attacks were a grand political plot using Islamic extremists to promote certain individuals in Sri Lanka to win the elections (3). From this it is clear that the motive behind such fabricated use of the name of Islamic fundamentalists was for a regime change. Similarly, when the new Prime Minister of Sri Lanka came to power with Indian patronage, the fearmongering by the name of LTTE was used systematically to strengthen him and suppress the Tamil nationalist forces.
As popular uprisings intensified in Galle Face and other parts of the country, superpower US and regional power India feared the formation of a left-wing government in Sri Lanka would result in not listening to them and not supporting their interests in the region. RW has been chosen as the appropriate agent to prevent it.
As for the President, the Rajapaksa clan must be protected at all costs. He knew if Sajith or the JVP came to power, such protection would not be possible. RW has been brought to power because he realized that RW would save the Rajapaksas from corruption charges to express his gratitude because Rajapaksa regime did not reopen an inquiry into the Central Bank Bond scam (4) which was the largest financial scam in the history of Sri Lanka resulted in a loss of more than 11 million US dollars (5) and saved RW. In another format of this situation, Tamil party leaders (6) and media controlled by India, are spreading the story that none other than RW can save Sri Lanka as the savior of the Sri Lankan economy in the current context. Though RW had acknowledged that he would continue to print money (7), would not prevent the rising inflation, increasing prices of the essential items and the hardships would get worse in the near future, the Indian puppets have been portraying RW as an elusive angel who would alleviate all the economic hardships. While RW is acting as an agent of India and the Western powers, these forces will try to stop the popular uprising by giving him more loans and creating an illusion that the Sri Lankan economy is temporarily booming.
Though the RW was sworn in as the prime minister for the sixth time (8) the fact that RW has no intention or plan for raising the Sri Lankan economy or making Sri Lanka a self-sufficient country can be deduced from what he had done during the last 5 terms. During his tenures he had continuously destabilized the country’s economy, involved in scams, increased the country’s debt burden and further protected members of the opposition from corruption investigations (9). A vicious cycle has developed in Sri Lanka due to the gigantic foreign debt burden in which the next government will again kneel before the Chinese or the US-India alliance and ask for more debt when RW quits his PM post.
Meanwhile, some Tamil leaders are now claiming that Tamils will get their rights through RW, which is reminiscent of Pattukottai’s Tamil song “How long will he cheat in this country” (10). During his last 5 terms as Prime Minister, Tamils have been continuously deprived of their rights and continued to face destruction. It is noteworthy that RW has so far not taken any action to bring justice or pay compensation to the Tamils affected by pogroms (11) in South during the UNP regime and the massacre of innocent Tamil civilians by the armed forces in the North and East. Will the leadership of the Eelam Tamils realize and act sagaciously and astutely on this international conspiracy and economic trap?

This is what Indian dirty Brahmins are doing throughout. There are evils like Supramaniyan Swamy a crazy brahmin, a most hated Indian and the Hindu News paper run by Brahmins, its chief editor Ram. Both these fellows are very close pals of Rajapakshas. They are frequent guests at Rajapakshas. So this LTTE story was created by these crooks to give a cover for Mahintha who was at the hands of the sinhalese for all his crimes. It was a diversionay tactic and the usual game played especially by Mahinta to hoodwink the sinhalese. But this time it didnt work and hereafter this is not going to work. These Brahmins want a corrupt regime in SL for them to manipulate and to have what they want. They can sell off grade things to SL and get over by lavish commissions to Rajapakshas. They dont love SL but the corrupt rajapakshe regime. This Supramniyan recenly said that India should send its army to SL to protect Rajapakshas and the message is very clear.

The author seems to one of those who are pals with the Dravidian politicians of Tamil nadu – resorting to Brahmin bashing. Only that Ram of Hindu and Subaniam Swamy are poles apart. Ram is an LTTE apologist while Seamy is his anti thesis. And Mr Modi is obviously not a Brahmin. The bane of Sri Lankan Tamils seems to be such people who have no understanding of neither India’s interests and their own.

“Ram is an LTTE apologist while Seamy is his anti thesis. And Mr Modi is obviously not a Brahmin.”
Do you think that we were all born post 1990?
Ram and Swamy were playing both sides for a while.
Ram became anti-LTTE after the striped animals refused to eat what was served by Mother India.
Swamy was more persistent. He backed them even after they did Rajeev G. RAW believed him only to be humiliated by the South Wing once the identity of the killers was revealed.

I was affected by the atrocities happened during UNP regime at personal level too. In June 1985 my father a government school zoology teacher and sole bread winner of my family was killed in cold blood along with another 150 innocent Tamil civilians at Pankulam, Trincomalee District. The massacre was committed by the STF stopping two buses bound to Jaffna from Trincomalee. I the eldest sibling in the family was a first year medical student that time. To date there was no justice or no compensation to me or my widowed mother. We sold our properties and continued my educations. If my father is alive I would have been much better in my career and in all spheres. This is just one example of what has been happening to Tamils in Sri Lanka.

I will start my comment by saying that the writer of this article, a medical doctor, displays such poor judgement in what he writes that were I referred to him as a patient (assuming he practises), I would be gripped with great anxiety!
The principal thesis of the writer, that the appointment of Ranil Wickremasinghe as PM is an international conspiracy, is absurd. Is the writer not aware that the PM post was first offered to Sajith, who chickened out and declined the offer. The latter, required, inter alia, the resignation of Gota (immediately or within a set time frame) as a precondition for acceptance of the offer, citing as the reason the wishes of the population in general and those at the Aragalaya protest in particular. That was blatantly a party-centred, political decision: Sajith for all his big mouth had no confidence that he could rescue the country out this dire economic plight and feared the political consequences if he accepted Gota’s offer and failed. If he had accepted and succeeded in turning the economy around, would the masses have held his working under Gota’s presidency as PM against him at the next election. Of course, not.
Continued in next comment.

To me, I dont respect srilankens politics, my only wish was RAJAPAKSHEs be out of srilanken politics… for that common goal, I supported going beyond ethnic and religious parameters. Rajapkshes are the real deadly virus to thi snation.
They created a world that their melchcha family politics would survive from family to family.
Just imagine David Cameron resigned immediately after it was made clear that the decisions made on BREXIT was a failure. Obama served two terms and entered to his retirement though he was very young to say good bye to politics, compared to his predecessors.

Leonard Jayawardena / May 20, 2022
Continued from last comment.
As for the ludicrous theory which the writer subscribes to that the motive for the Easter bombings was regime change, consider the following:
1. The Pohottuwa needed no such help to come to power; they were on a winning streak as the results of the previous local government elections indicated. Does the smartest student in the class need to copy at exams to pass?
2. What consideration was given to Zahran and company by the Rajapakshes in return for carrying out the attacks. Money? What is the use of money for those who are going to commit suicide?
3. Why would an extremist Islamic group sacrifice their lives to bring to power a party in the south generally perceived, rightly or wrongly, as anti-minority? Arguably, Muslims suffered most during Mahinda’s watch (think Darga town).
4. The Catholic Church, the principal victim of the attacks, publicly supported the Rajapakshes during and after the war, and most Catholics, it is safe to say, voted for the Rajapakshes’ party. What monster would kill and destroy those who loved and helped them just for some political gain?
4. Such attacks by Jihadists were not unique. They happened and continue to happen elsewhere in the world.
Disclaimer: I have never voted for the Rajapakshes.

Ajay Sundara Devan / May 20, 2022
Indian intelligence warning in 2019 was based on facts and turned out to be correct. Easter Sunday bombing did take place and it was carried out by Islamic fundamentalists. Cardinal Ranjith is also correct in that the Islamic extremist group had been infiltrated by Gota’s Deep State intelligence agents for some time. Gota’s agents then steered the brain-washed Islamic extremists to launch the Easter attacks. While the bombers thought they were carrying out Jihad, for Gota this served as a false flag attack to create the impression in the country that national security was once again under terrorist threat and thereby win the presidency.
.
Interestingly the Cardinal had known this all along, but as he was a strong supporter of the Rajapaksas at the time, he joined them in blaming the Yahapalanaya govt, particularly the UNP and Ranil, for the ‘security lapse.’ Subsequently he seems to have fallen out with the Rajapaksas for some reason and so began telling the truth about the “real mastermind” behind the attack.
.
However the warning by RAW this time about a possible attack by the LTTE on Mullivaikkal Remembrance Day is a total canard as the outfit has long ceased to exist except in the minds of some diehard ideologues.
/
Ajay Sundara Devan / May 20, 2022

In my view, it was just disinformation to help Gota cling to power by invoking fear in the country about the possible return of the LTTE.

Mani / May 21, 2022
ASD, you are spot on with your analysis of both cases of RAW warnings.
It is pathetic that simple-minded people like Leonard Jayawardena keep insisting, despite the considerable contrary evidence available and a modicum of common sense that should exist in their minds, that the Easter bomb attack was not a plan masterminded by the Rajapakses to come into power because Islamist extremists would not die on behalf of the Rajapakses. Of course they wouldn’t! However, it is crystal clear that these extremists were manipulated by Muslim intelligence operatives and potentially a few Muslim politicians, loyal to the Rajapakses (probably for a sum of money) to believe that they were dying for the Jihad, without having any idea that they were helping the Rajapakses to come into power yet another time. When such a disastrous event happens, the first question one needs to ask is who benefitted from it? And we all know the answer – even villagers are turning out to be smarter than the Leonard Jayawardenas of this country.

This is why Sri Lankan Airlines, Katunanyake and Ratmalana airports, Trinoc and Colombo ports terminals, telecom frequencies, Railway lands and the entire coastal lands are to sold off grabbed by foreign entities with Harin Fernando as US Minster of Land and Tourism!

Poor Eagle Eye’s game is up. He intentionally writes highly extreme, provocative comments in order to incite his opponents so they will jump into the fray. This in turn will draw more people to his original comment and thereby gaining more exposure for his cause and line of propaganda. This technique is called RAGE FARMING and I came across this recently in dictionary.com :
.
“WHAT IS RAGE FARMING?
Rage farming is a slang term for the political tactic of intentionally provoking political opponents in order to create or increase exposure for one’s group or cause. The tactic is especially associated with conservative and far-right political groups.
The term rage farming is always used in a critical way. It is typically applied to the act of posting intentionally inflammatory content or otherwise trolling political opponents online with the goal of eliciting a large number of angry responses, thus leading to widespread exposure for the original poster. However, the term may be applied to practices other than online posts, such as making inflammatory comments in interviews or speeches that will be widely covered by the media.”

To say that Sri Lanka Armed Forces massacred innocent Tamil civilians in the North East is not true.
Sri Lanka Armed Forces:
• Liberated about 300,000 Tamil civilians kept as a human shield by Tamil terrorists.
• Liberated about 500 children who had been recruited by Tamil terrorists as child soldiers and handed them over to their parents.
• Rehabilitated about 12,000 LTTE cadres surrendered to the Army.
• Provided food and shelter to all the civilians who sought help from the Army

What the author of this article states is 100% correct. In my view India is really not a friend of the Sri Lankan Tamils. It only keeps mouthing about just Tamil rights on the island, but in reality has damned the Sri Lankna Tamils and never fought or even given support to any form of redress Tamil rights in the UN or anywhere. It used our issue to gain a foothold, even supported and created the LTTE and then betrayed us after it gained a foothold and helped the Sri Lankan state to commit horrific war crimes to us and then is still protecting it. The LTTE leadership is also partially to blame for this ,but it still does not excuse India’s behaviour. Other nations have no emotional, cultural, religious or ethnic connection with the Tamils of Sri Lanka but India does. If India really wants just Tamil rights on the island with sec 13A and federalism really implements it would have happened . Strangely, many of these so called anti Sri Lankan Tamils are so called Indian Tamils mainly belonging to a certain caste or community , who for some reason want the Sri Lankan Tamils damned , as revenge for real and imagined slights at the hands of the Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu.

The current warning from India’s RAW that the LTTE, who are now completely dead, will somehow miraculously rise again, will attack, especially on the day they are horrific war crimes were committed on them by the Sri Lankan state , 13 years ago , with lots of help from India takes the cake and speaks a lot of India’s attitude towards Sri Lankan Tamils. It was deliberately trying to create fear and ethnic strife, at the expense of the already beleaguered Tamils, in order to save the Rajapakse regime and Ranil Wickremasinghe. India does not even consider the will of the Sinhala majority. Who have now thankfully realized India’s game and many right thinking Sinhalese have openly commemorated the Mullivaikal remembrance day together with the Tamils in Colombo for the first time. A real slap to India’s accusations. India has now openly shown its true colours with regards to the Sri Lankan Tamils and made a fool of itself in this instance. That’s what I believe. So what happened to so called LTTE attack?

“…especially on the day that horrific war crimes were committed on innocent Tamil civilians by the Sri Lankan state.”
—-
• Is liberating about 300,000 Tamil civilians who were kept as a human shield by Tamil terrorists and shot at those who tried to escape a war crime?
• Is liberating 545 children grabbed by Tamil terrorists and recruited as child soldiers and handing them over to their parents a war crime?
• Providing shelter and food for thousands of Tamil civilians and LTTE cadres who surrendered to SL Army a war crime?
• Eliminating Tamil terrorists who massacred Sinhala Buddhists for three decades a war crime?

“In my view India is really not a friend of the Sri Lankan Tamils.”
In my view, Indian Central Government is not a friend of the Sri Lankan Tamils or or Indian Tamils or Sinhalese or Sri Lanka. It is also applicable to China or USA. All of them use Sri Lanka in their war among them. Similarly, Sri Lankan Governments lead by their external masters also use the Sri Lankan Tamils and Sri Lankan Sinhalese to make their family politics. Unfortunately, Sinhalese and Tamils failed to understand that it is their political masters divide their relationship.
We always talk only about LTTE but fail to talk about other Tamil militant groups who were more violent than LTTE. Almost every militant groups were trained by India.

SJ / May 21, 2022
A, you say
“It is also applicable to China or USA.”
The point is that the Tamils are repeatedly told by people no less than CV Wignewaran and the four TNA esses (Sampanthan, Sumanthiran, Sritharan, and Shanakyan) that India is the savior.
When lesser mortals even mumble in protest, you know better than I do who pounces on them and calls them names.
Tamils are a little distrustful of the US, although Gajendrakumar too claims to trust them.
Why do you waste your breath on China which the leaders and their choruses describe as Enemy # 1, 2 or 3 (depending on where one places the Singhalese and Muslims).
*
Will you be kind to tell me which political masters misled the Tamils.
I have some clue about who messed up the Sinhalese.
*
Are you upset that people are scolding only the Thalaivar’s boys?
If it is any consolation, not many took them seriously after Thalaivar & Co took sole charge of ‘liberating’ the Tamils.

SJ, almost everything Ajith has written are wise words!!
He said …. “In my view, Indian Central Government is not a friend of the Sri Lankan Tamils or Indian Tamils or Sinhalese or Sri Lanka…”
“Sri Lankan Governments lead by their external masters also use the Sri Lankan Tamils and Sri Lankan Sinhalese to make their family politics. Unfortunately, Sinhalese and Tamils failed to understand that it is their political masters divide their relationship…”
Wasn’t that what exactly happened to us in the last few decades?? I am of the view that we need to ALWAYS keep India un-antagonized whether we like them or not. True, it could be a bloody annoying reality but no other option for us living in an island in the Indian ocean just 40km away!
I do not have any knowledge to judge which one is the most violent Tamil militant group, but I absolutely agree that “…. Almost every militant groups were trained by India….” which was what exactly happened since late 70s!
And that situation was single-handedly created by JRJ who piously followed Reaganomics and antagonized India, even using that infamous ‘cow & calf’ brand on Indira and Sanjay among the many negative things he opined against India in the mid-70s.

Rohan25 / May 22, 2022
Acknowledge what you state is true. However the actions of all these powers , especially India has only resulted in the large scale killings and war crimes committed on the island’s Tamil population. The reason is obvious as all Sri Lankan government from the time of independence has been Sinhalese led, and the armed forces and police 99.99% Sinhalese. India’s actions from the time of the IPKF debacle to May 2009, has only resulted in war crimes and large scale killings committed on the island’s Tamils. The current LTTE scare again was a calculated cynical move, again to turn majority Sinhalese anger and even violence towards the island’s Tamils, instead of this current corrupt inefficient racist Rajapakse regime and save them. Proves in my opinion for India, Sri Lnakan Tamils are expendable and do not matter . They may not care for the Sinhalese too, but they are still the majority and want to please them, at the expense of the island’s Tamils and their human rights . Again, this is my view.

May be LTTE terrorists abandoned the attack because this Government under President Gotabhaya Rajapakshe took the warning from India seriously and took preventive measures unlike the dong keys in ‘Yahapalana’ Government who ignored the warnings about terrorist attacks by Muslims and allowed Muslim terrorists to carry out attacks.

“even supported and created the LTTE”
You seem to understand and articulate well the history and current predicament of Tamils in the Island.
However, you seem to be not well versed in militant Tamil movements formation and their history.
In this instance, your understanding is absolutely wrong and incorrect. All major 5 tamil movements (TELO, LTTE, PLOT EPRLF, EROS) are all home grown.
The LTTE is the only that had very well managed and mostly outmanuvered the manipulation by Hindia and RAW.
I have known the people involved since the time (1976) of TNT (Tamil New Tigers). Indeed, two of my relatives are founders of TELO and TNT.
I give you one simple example.
Even when Hindia indicated for provding military cum weapon training, Prabha initially refused. Every one (at the time) in the LTTE were taken by bewilderment with anger at Praba’s initial decision. The first thing Prabha said in that case (i.e. Hindia was willing to provide military cum weapons training) the LTTE must build up independent weapon supply chain. Asked for reason, Prabha said Hindia would likely use the weapons supply and training as leverage for controlling LTTE.
/
KA / May 22, 2022
2/3
Afer several hour of discussion and analysis with other memebers Praba relented, and explained that until independent weapons supply that he would go along with Hindia’s training. He also said he did not want to raise any suspicion on Hindia’s mind, and give pretension that the LTTE was indeed relying on Hindia.
As for military training (i.e. manuvers, tactics, physical training etc.) the LTTE had already been building knowledge, facilities and infrastructure etc.
Kittu unconsolablly cried at the farewell when the first batch of LTTE finsihed the training by Hindian and RAW military trainers.
After receiving the first batch and initial greetings, Praba raised Kittu crying and asked whether it was true, and the whole batch including Kittu said in one voice yes and Kittu even had tears when he answered Praba.
Praba said, it was why he refused the training in the first place. He then at every ones’ (including Balasingam as he was present on the occasion) shock said, one day I would likely order Kitu to command and fight Hindian forces, and asked how you (pointing at all of the first batch) would fight if you had this sort of attacthment to Hindia’s military etc.
/
KA / May 22, 2022

Praba then went to explain his reasoning as to why he was anticipating fight between LTTE and Hindia’s military.
However, Hindia did not give any weapons and the training was mainly on how to assist a conventional miliatry, presumably Hindia’s military.
All military knowledge and skils, the LTTE built it by themselves over the time.
This is why LTTE Sori Sinhalam could not defeat it except for scorched earth tactics, and that too with several political, economic, political amd military help, assistance and in the case of Hindia, direct involvement in 2009.
/
SJ / May 25, 2022
Did not the LTTE have training sessions in Israel at the same time as the SL Army?
The US, like God, works in mysterious ways.

BTW
Who is “LTTE Sori Sinhalam”?
/
KA / May 22, 2022
Whoever disliked are really stupid. This actually happened and there are so many other witness to Prabha had adamantly refused Hindia’s offer of military cum weapons training and the subsequent development of LTTE’s independent weapon supply and building their military, intelligence etc.

The sri lankan armed forces liberated the innocent tamils from their earthly lives which is all that happened. Mere sinhala buddhist dharma
That is why the west to which the sinhalas are begging to go to by crooked or whatever means, recognises Tamil Genocide Day.
In addition there are NO food shortgages, NO lack of USD, NO lack of medicines, sinhala land has NOT defaulted on its loans, Covid is not rampant, there are NO anti RAKSHApakse demonstrations etc etc in sinhala land
In addition my head is NOT in the sand!!

To be precise, Sri Lanka Armed Forces liberated 294,000 Tamils among whom were close to 12,000 LTTE combatants in civilian clothing and 545 child soldiers. Tamil mothers should be eternally grateful to Sri Lanka Army for liberating their children snatched by Tamil terrorists. The civilians are now leading normal lives and LTTE combatants are rehabilitated and also getting on with their lives.

The LTTE was nothing but another freemasonic group.
As well as the rulers of India and Sri Lanka.
The whole thing was staged drama, and humanity of that region will wake up to it soon!

RAW’s LTTE attack boogie was to force Canada either to give up or postpone Tamil genocide vote and the subsequent ratification by Canada State.
Firstly, Canada would not have taken such vote without informing and agreeing with US.
Yes, Canada vote was in the making for long time and Hindia got the wind of it, most probably when Anthony Blinken visited Hinda in July 2021. There was a discussion on the line of Tamil genocide (not exactly same words) between Modi & Anthony Blinken.
All Hindia’s mouth pieces had missed it in their usual sensational about US being with Hindia etc.
Hindia had tried their best by all diplomatic avenues to dissuade Canada and it did not work.
However, Canada vote was finally decided in the last week when sori Sinhalam defaulted, and the meaning of it is Sori Sinhalam tilted towards China. China was the main sticking point in supposed IMF’s aid (I would say bait).
In the last two days, if you carefully read the news, IMF wanted Gota out and then China followed it up and made the announcement of willing give hands to Sori Sinhalam.
If any of you say this is fantasy, so be it.
/
KA / May 22, 2022
One thing I wanted to say is this is one of the main motive of RAW’s sensational announcement.
The best way to do is to keep Paksaas in power and LTTE attack boogie was the ideal.
The reason is Canada’s unanimous vote will gradually pave way for the West to raise its role in the Island’s political arrangement.
Hindia hates West having slightest influence in the Island’s political arrangement because it has more chance to give some semblenc

sorry I accidentally posted.
It has more chance of Tamils getting some sort of fair deal, which Hindia hates.
Even in the supposed current food shortage crisis (which Tamils has the experience of managing it within their means), Hindia want Tamils to rely on sori Sinhalam and receive or not any food aid by whims and fancies of sori Sinhalam.

There are several other examples of generally militant Tamil movements had never seriously considered Hindia and at the least suspected Hindia turning against them.
However, I can say that all most all militant Tamil movements and personalities agreed (within and among their discussions) that Hindia would be at the least impediment against Tamils achieving political status on par with Sinhalese. What a political foresight by those who were perceived to be politically and educationally uneducateds!!!
On the armed / military side of struggle and affairs, all militant Tamil movements arrived at the consensus that Hindia indeed turning against them analysing and going with how Hindia directly intervened to crush 1st JVP revolt.
There was a public attempt by a PLOT member called Santhathiyaar to educate Tamil public about Hindia’s historic and contemporary heinous intentions and designs for Tamils in general and in the context of ethnic, political and armed struggle.
Santahthiyar published a book called Vangam Thantha Paadam (The lesson that Bengal gave). It is mainly an analysis of the true events that lead to destruction by Hindia and RAW of Mukti Bahini, the armed movement fought against Pakistan for the liberation of Bangladesh.

It is still widely believed that Santhathiyaar was killed by PLOT on the instruction of RAW. There is no other plausible explanation for sudden disappearance of Santhathiyaar.
Where as Tamil public perception was that India would be with them and come to their aid come what may.
Even TULF, which consisted of lawyers and politically experienced heavy weights, was more or less had the same thought (vis a vis India) that of Tamil public.
The TULF learnt Hindia’s political position in relation to Eezham Tamils the hard way at the meeting with Indira Ghanthi.
There were three meetings in different occasions with Indira Ghanthi, and only one had become public knowledge.
Meeting were between Indira Gandhi – Amirthalingam; Indira Gandhi, Parthasarathy – Amirtthalingam, Sivasithamparam; Indira Gandhi, Parthasarathy – Amirtthalingam, Sivasithamparam, Yogeswaran.
Indira Gandhi immediately shot down Tamil Eezham, and pushed TULF to come accommodation with JR and Sori Singalam!!!!
Perhaps this was why TULF went along with district councils and ended up with egged on their political standing.
