His game plan will not work. He should have formed a party to unite tamils and sinhalese.

Any Party that has the name of a race/religion should be considered 'Racist' IMO. Do you see parties like 'Pure AngloSaxon Party' in the UK?

I agree with most comments. its obviously a racially motivated party. parties using words like sinhala Tamil Muslim Islam should not be allowed via DM Android App

No need karuna to reduce UNP votes,UNP themselves have reduced their votes.

Kariyawasam Sunday, 12 February 2017 10:38 AM

Purpose of this party is very clear. This is to split Tamil votes and reduce UNP vote base. This should be MR's plan....
