Yes, it is manifestly clear to those attempting to heal wounds that Vigneswaran is collecting data and working in a different direction that will only throw a spanner in the works.<\/p>\n<p>Compensation should be paid to tiger widows not by the state, but by the Diaspora that fuelled terrorism and relentlessly backed a megalomaniac who is responsible for over 100 thousand deaths of all communities.
