The post of Opposition Leader was not discussed during the meeting held between Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader R. Sampanthan and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, the TNA said today.

In a statement, it said Mr. Sampanthan met Mr. Rajapaksa on the request of the latter at his residence at Wijerama Mawatha in Colombo 07.

“Mr. Sampanthan did not meet Mr. Rajapaksha in any other capacity. No matter was discussed at this meeting pertaining to the post of the Leader of the Opposition. Any statement to that effect is deliberately false,” the party said.

There you go ! If you have not recognised him as PM, why didn't you decline the invitation? I think it was mistake to visit him.

Why cannot all politicians be so open and honest like Sampanthan?

Because they are not politicians who are there to earn money not only in the South but also in the North where people are in terrible state but the rascals like Wignesearan are indifferent

As Sam is an all weather seasoned politician with some integrity, whoever who had thought of horse trading with him must have been off their mind.

Mr.Sampanthan, be careful from Racial Extremists such as Wimal Weerawansa, Gammanpila,........ when you associate with Mahinda. They have already vehemently opposed the proposed Constitution and UN resolutions. They will promise Whales but show you rodents.

It is very unfortunate that southern politician does not have the guts of this man to call a spade a spade.

These Tamil politicians just like their counterpart in the South and east just keep hoodwinking the (Tamil) people to continue on with their divisive caste system so that the lower castes are completely kept out of the job scene and power stakes. So the Tamil people for once should have the guts to tell this man to 'Go Home', take a good rest and never return to politics. MM
