    A very well-balanced statement from the CM. All races, including the Tamils have to acknowledge that there was a part of their past that had hounded and caused hurt, pain and suffering to people of other races and faiths, besides those inflicted on their own. Those who are proven culpable should face the consequences. I don’t know whether Maithiri or Ranil are up to the mark and have the will to see this through, but their failure will continue to wreck the nation. They have to see it that the bleeding of a nation ends with them.

    Forget about the threats from the Rajapakses and his side-kick Dayan. What seemed an insurmountable task of defeating a sitting president and govt, the people have given their mandate. As the skeletons continue to be excavated from the closets, people will understand the lies they have been told. Just be honest with them and tell them the truth. They, too are human beings. Most of the minorities voted against Rajapakse. So they did too in 2010 but the fundamental difference was the sway of a chunk of the majority race to repudiate the practice and policies of MR, even though they have accepted him as a war hero.

    All races need to be educated that crimes committed against humanity should have no place in modern societies and whoever are the perpetrators should face the music. The present govt has made a few small steps towards a balanced society but these are hardly sufficient for SL not to be torn by the kind of strife that has been plaguing the country since independence. Sirisena should be able to do what others before him had failed and that is the kind of profound legacy that generations to come would fall back on during trying times. MR had this very, very rare opportunity to do this but alas the bad blood in him and his brothers have meant that a legacy had eluded them, all due to their own fault.

    Politicians, by and large, are not bad but in a country with diverse races and religions, those who stoke these should be banned. To save the country from such manipulators, the law to ban such politicians must prevail. They are the ones who cause havoc. Get them out from the mainstream and SL may well be on a path towards rejuvenation.

      Sinhalese were generously agreed for political solution of 40/60, even though Tamils weren’t 40 percent of the Sri Lankan population; but CG Ponnambalam rejected the generous offer. Then Rajiv Gandhi done his best for Tamils, but Tamils not only rejected his solution but killed him. Tamils also had few other opportunities, but weren’t ready to find a solution. Tamils took arms against Sinhalese with the help of India, then turned against India with the help of the West. However, Tamils can’t fool the West as they have fooled Sinhalese and Indians, because the West is too smart. The African Americans educated the White Americans about the adverse effects of the discrimination, but Tamils haven’t educated Sinhalese leaders as African Americans educated the White leaders, neither accepted the lasting solutions, but took arms and killed themselves and others. Tamils haven’t learned anything from the past, they are different and scary creatures.

      For me Tamils are the most dangerous and dirty creatures. Prime Minister Ranil Wickresmsinghe should let Tamils go separate, in order to develop the South. And let India to deal with the dangerous and dirty creatures as J R had done. Diaspora leaders won’t accept the TNA leadership. And the TNA won’t live under the diaspora leaders either. The West will support diaspora to have a foothold in the Indian Ocean, but India will try to secure it. Therefore, half of the Tamils will fight for their leadership with the West’s help, and the other half of the Tamils(TNA supporters) will fight for their leadership with India’s help. Dangerous and dirty creatures’ issues are never ending. I wish I wasn’t born among them in Jaffna. However, I don’t call myself as a Sri Lankan Tamil. Recently, I wrote an article to Tamil newspapers, I clearly identified myself as an Australian. How can I call myself as a Tamil when the fools are fighting for sake of fighting, and eliminated more leaders and intellectuals than Bin Laden?

    All races including Tamils have to acknowledge that they were all saved and Wiggie is able to be the CM and move freely because the then Government crushed the LTTE though they were unable to crush the catholic Chuch.

    Saved humans from Human Shield, TNA the voice of the LTTE took refuge in Colombo, many Hindu Priests survived to live another day…….

    Nobody is culpable when one has to fight a ruthless terrorists group such as the LTTE who shamelessly took refuge among the forcibly held civillians.

    Northern Church Clergy duped the Northerners by stating Prabakaran was like Jesus Christs, LTTE figeters were fighters for God, suicide cardres were like martyers………..

    Those who need to face consequences are those who fanned the fires waging war against a legitimate government.
    Adele (australian) balasingham for encouraging suicide cardres by distributing cynide capsules to innocent children…
    Those Catholic Clergy who equated Velu to Jesus Christs and those Clergy kept their mouth shut by conniving with them.
    Those who helped abduct youth & children to fight the GOSL forces.
    Those who supported financially to keep the war going..
    The politicians who acted as the mouth piece of the LTTE

    If the need be more than a Domestic mechanism, THEN WIGGY WILL HAVE TO INVITE THE GODS TO SIT IN JUDGEMENT.
    How can a judgement bring relief to people? It does not improve the living standards of those parents whose children were abducted by the the LTTE to fight a war and those whose children died fighting the gosl.
    One can not bring to life Neelans, Amirthalingams & scored of innocent lives lost on senseless suicide bombings.

    IT APPEARS THOUGH WIGNESHWARAN HAS BEEN GIFTED WITH PAIR OF HORNS TO KEEP BUTTING & RAKE UP COMMUNAL FIRES THROUGH INTERNATIONAL MECHANISM INSTEAD OF INVITING THE GODS IN HEAVEN TO SIT IN A MECHANISM.

    WIGGIE TOO IS BEHAVING LIKE WAR MONGER… OH FORGOT… BETTER INVITE THAT PENSIONEER SIVA PASUPATHY WHO ALSO DEVELOPED HORNS

      Thondamanny:

      If the Tamils had acknowledged that they were “saved”, they wouldn’t have gone this far to get your people to answer for war crimes, would they?

      Have you read the UNHRC report or you have been fishing in Hambantota port? And you call your mama Rajapakse’s govt a legitimate one? The paramilitaries that the regime used as its sidekick have been cited in the report. Luckily, there is ample space in the Hambantota airport to hide and there is enough rice for a long period.

      The Tamils have no problem in accepting a report that has implicated the LTTE and instead of looking far, you have in your bedroom the ex-LTTEs who caused havoc as paramilitaries. Karuna, Pillayan and K Pathmanathan have been sleeping in the same bed as your master. So, what are you waiting for?

      The LTTE went on a forced conscription, including children, and for that the report has implicated them. But what happened to all those who surrendered to the soldiers and have gone missing? Some of the heinous acts, like rape and sodomy, committed by the army are repulsive and beastly. They must be so depraved that if a man’s too would do.

      You are dead right and yes, Wiggie is gifted with horns, so better watch out. After all, didn’t he get to pass a “genocide” resolution right under your nose?

      I have not heard of anyone of notable standing ever uttering that Wiggie is a war monger He pales in shadow when compared to the eccentric Gotbaya.

      “Looks like mr Wiggy is in a hurry to get Eelaam for the Vellalas to run from Cinnamon Gardens…”

      Are you in a hurry to give it to him? If you have please apply for permission from Hindians who decide what is best for this island.

      Hindians won’t be happy if you insist on building your own separate Sinhala/Buddhists ghetto in the deep, deep deep south.

    A great statement from a great personality. Similarly a great report from UNCHR. Finding of Truth & Justice to all is the foremost important to stability of Peace.
    It is a truth that Tamils, Muslims and Sinhalese are the citizens of this island and that there were differences, mistrust and there were problems and there were bias and unjustice based on race, language, and religion. It is also a truth in the past these differences lead to civilian sufferings.
    It is a truth that this country is ruled by leaders of Sinhalese community since 1948.
    It is also a truth Tamil speaking people lived as a majority in the North East of island for a long period.
    It is also a truth that Tamils felt that they are discriminated and the state policies are biased against them.
    It is also a fact that Sinhalese leadership accepted that devolution of power to North East will resolve this problem of bias.
    It is also a fact that there were mass scale violence against Tamils civilians, destruction of their economy where state failed to protect them or provide justice to those victims.
    It is also a truth that this lead to youth revolution within Tamils turned into armed struggle, armed conflicts, international involvement, peace talks, failure of peace talks, armed conflict, violence, civilian sufferings, violation of human rights, war crimes and end of war etc.
    It is also a truth that law and order and justice system started to collapase since 1948 and it was completely collapsed in 2009 with the end of war and further deteriorated since 2009 leading towards a dictatorship.
    It is also a truth that there is a change in 2015 but still country is not prepared to accept the Truth of this past. We cannot kill the truth or hide the truth but we need to know the truth and it should give a path for the better future.

    The Northern CM is talking too much politics, instead of doing his job. His main job is developing the Northern Province. I have been traveling in the North to find some facts. Kilinochchi school children don’t have classrooms to study. Everyday teachers are traveling up-to 6 hours to come from Jaffna to teach in Kilinochchi. But the Northern Province CM couldn’t bother to build classrooms for children or lodging facilities for teachers. The Tamil leaders couldn’t agree on what need to be done immediately; therefore, funds have been returned to the central government. The TNA had chosen the wrong person for the job. They need a smart person with the track record of project management skills. However, the TNA has done the wrong thing again by appointing a wrong person.

      It is nice to know that the caul has been removed from your face, and that you see things a lot better now.

    Yes TNA has done what is needed now to ensure the vellalas take control of the north especially if they are going to get a separate state. So what is the point of building classrooms and getting teachers etc for the children of Killinochi because they will go back to what it was before the war. So this is where Vigneswaran comes in after all he is arunachalam ramanathans grand nephew. Did you not notice who the minister of resettlement is, surely all you people are blind. Whatever happens to the people living in Kilinochchi who have suffered for 30 long years of war, they can continue to suffer. If there is a problem all of them will go quietly to Colombo 7 and live happily. They are not interested in doing anything for the ordinary tamil person. What a race! These are the people who talk about human rights, what a farce. God help the tamils!!

    ” Whatever happens to the people living in Kilinochchi who have suffered for 30 long years of war, they can continue to suffer.”

    What are you going to do about it?

    “If there is a problem all of them will go quietly to Colombo 7 and live happily”

    Why did they come from Colombo 7 in the first place?

    ” They are not interested in doing anything for the ordinary tamil person.”

    Are you?

    “God help the tamils!!”

    Leave the god out of human stupidity.
