Shows enmity, hatred and resentment is mainly based on racism harboured by the politicians to meet their own political goal. Once that is changed the humans will embrace humanity and will live in peace. Hope we all can build a united and prosperous Srilanka!

Sumanthiran is a competent politician and not a popular politician. However he misread the changes happening in his own electorate and he can be forgiven for that. But what he cannot be forgiven is letting his own people’s ambitions down by siding with the SJB. The SJB of today consists of people who Sumanthiran criticized in parliament and he has compromised himself by tangoing with the SJB.

Congratulations to the people of Jaffna for their strong support of the NPP party in this election, marking a significant shift away from ethnicity- and race-based politics. This choice reflects a hope for a united nation where the government values equality for all, regardless of race, religion, or class. ZERO DESCRIMINATION - ONE COUNTRY, ONE NATION!

At last tamils relaised that tamil parties have done nothing to tamils over 74 years. Only created friction and lived on it . Hope presdient will look after the needs of tamils and muslims. Being a tamil,the amount of damged done by LTTE is bigger than Government.Sadly Rajapaksa did nt use the opporunity.

Sumanthiran missed the bus when he accused president for bringing people by buses to the Jaffna meeting the president had. The meeting was well attended by the Jaffna community.Jaffna community reciprocated the request of the president.
