The support extended by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to take part in the scheduled protest march adds some additional strength, MP Dinesh Gunawardena says. The observation was made at a press conference held in Colombo this afternoon (26). Mahindananda, Weerawansa, Namal Rajapaksa, Johnston Fernando, Rohitha Abeygunawardena and Kanchana Wijesekera are behind the organization of this protest,” Gunawardena told reporters. Meanwhile, MP Dullas Alahapperuma speaking at the press conference severely criticised the decision to extend the coalition agreement between the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United National Party (UNP)

Why do we need 16 Thiruvalluvar Statues to be Installed in Sri Lanka??
This is MORE TAMILIZATION and INDIANIZATION of Sri Lanka to HELP ANNEX Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu/India in the future!
Thiruvalluvar is ALIEN to Sri Lanka, unknown in Sri Lanka, and has NO CONNECTION or RELEVANCE to Sri Lanka!
There is NO OTHER PURPOSE to this INSTALLATION of an UNKNOWN Tamil Ethicist’s statues in Sri Lanka other than to CREATE TAMIL FACTS on the ground, not only in the North and East, but also in UPCOUNTRY!
Together with the Ramayana Religious Circuit being set up EVEN AS I WRITE, this is all a DEVIOUS PROGRAM to PERMANENTLY TAMILIZE/INDIANIZE Sri Lanka with things that can NEVER BE REMOVED LATER, to make up for the fact that there are VERY FEW Tamil archeological artifacts in Sri Lanka to support EELAMIST claims to the LAND, and to ultimately CULTURALLY make Sri Lanka an APPENDAGE of India!
Why is the YAMAPALANA GoSL ALLOWING this CREEPING INDIANIZATION of Sri Lanka to OCCUR? The MR/UPFA GoSL would not have allowed any of these DEVIOUS MACHIAVELLIAN STRATEGIES by INDIA and the EELAMISTS!
INSTEAD, these TREACHEROUS Yamapalanaya leaders are AIDING & ABETTING this unadulterated CRAP to CONSUME our Sinhala Motherland, STEP BY STEP, INCH by INCH … CREATING NEW FACTS on the GROUND!

16 Thiruvalluvar statues to be installed in Sri Lanka soon: Minister
July 25 (Hindu) Sixteen statues of Thiruvalluvar, the author of Tamil treatise on ethics Tirukkural, will be installed across Sri Lanka in the coming weeks, according to V. Radhakrishnan, State Minister of Education.
Among the places where the statues would be kept would be Mannar, Kilinochchi, Mullativu and Chavakachcheri (Jaffna), all in the Northern Province; Puttalam in the North West; Colombo in the Western; Matale, Hatton and Nawalapitiya in the Central; Rakwana in Sabaragamuwa and Kaddaiparichchan (Trincomalee), Batticaloa and Thambiluvil (Ampara), all in the Eastern province.
After Haridwar incident
Asked whether there would be any problem in the country in the light of the recent controversy over the installation of a Thiruvalluvar statue in Haridwar of Uttarakhand, India, Mr Radhakrishnan told The Hindu at his office in Battramulla near here on Monday evening that it was precisely for this reason that he had taken all into confidence before making any move in this regard. While the payment of certain taxes such as import duty had been exempted for bringing in the statues from India, some other levies such as Value Added Tax had been paid.
Earlier, Mr. Radhakrishnan took part in an event to receive formally the statues, which, the Minister said, had been donated by the VGP International Tamil Association.
‘For greater bilateral understanding’
V. G. Santhosam, president of the Association, said the rationale behind the move was to foster greater understanding between India and Sri Lanka. He also expressed the desire to develop an amusement park in Colombo or Batticaloa.
