Once upon a time ,Pillaaiyan and Karuna were terrorist leaders of LTTE. Now, under the present regime they are Leaders of Democratic Socialist Terrorist Organisation of Eastern Province.
They are "tail of the dog" so no one cant correct them.

Excellent. Mahinda's plan is working perfectly. Karuna and Pillayan are destroying each other themselves.
