Further commenting on the ignominious end of the Pawnseka debacle gives as much joy as kicking a dead dog. The Sri Lankan people have demonstrated in no uncertain terms that they know a fraud when they see one! One spiteful kick on the political carcass of Pawnseka reveals that he is well and truly [...]

Dear General
You were advised by well meaning people that you should desist from contesting against a seasoned campaigner who had won the hearts of the people.
You ignored that advice.
 You are now crying foul and appealing to the International community to save you from a possible arrest.
 Nobody is above the [...]

Who says Assam is a land of separatists, where the concept of Indianness is yet to gain popular support! Look how the common people of the insurgency stricken State have shown their braveness to defy the diktats of the separatist militants. They came out in larger number to pay their gratitude to the motherland [...]

Earlier they blamed Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe for consecutive election  defeats this time they should blame the combination of political parties for the debacle.  When the JVP 3%, TNA 6%, UNP 45% , Muslim Congress 1%, and Mano Ganeshan 1% and Former President Mrs Bandaranaike ( well over 50% of SLFP votes) when combined [...]

Dear All,
I don’t want to boast or anything, but I guessed that MR would win with about 62% votes. I wished that he get 65%. And I was wrong only by about 3%.
I also wrote that if anyone votes against MR is a fool, and nearly wrote that, he/she would be called a traitor. Interestingly, [...]

The sudden concerns By the US Authorities for Fmr. Gen.

Sri Lanka perhaps is the only democracy where ‘One Vote – One Value’ concept is not practised.
In the 2004 General Elections, the JHU received 552,724 votes and obtained 7 district basis seats, whilst the Tamil Front received 633,654 votes and obtained 20 district basis seats. In effect, each JHU seat has a [...]

The presidential election is over. The winner has been declared. The monitors-none of whom have vested interests in the result-have given their thumbs up that it was a free and fair election.
 
And still we hear the etrnal refrain from the losers that the elections were rigged. For goodness sake, when is this nonsense [...]

What does this mean? Does it mean that Mahinda won the election by cheating? Or does it mean that the election commissioner is making background for his family to be able to get refugee status in Australia or USA? Or was he is going into a depression because his favourite candidate SF lost the [...]

You see, I’m not a SLFP person, nor I have voted for MR before. What I meant was that we have to be vigilant in never allowing parties like JVP, TNA to break the country again. JVP is worse than the LTTE for I know what is communism and how such a system could break [...]

According to the election results TNA /LTTE proxy agents overweeningly voting for the opposition in earlier LTTE controlled areas clearly indicate that LTTE wanted to reactivate thier Elam project by supporting the opposition candidate through this election. Election results prove that if the opposition was elected territorial integrity of Sri Lanka protected [...]
