shame on the Gov..it cant even fight and win a battle but knows full well how to kill innocents.!
the fact that the sea tigers were able to board a sinking ship and dismantle its weapons and rescue its crewmen is proof enough that the rest of the sl nany boats escaped and ran away as the eyewitness claimed

Actually I had rather have an enemy that retreats than an enemy that fights till the last man.....

u misread my post. i said that INDIA believes that if the srilankan Tamils get Ealam then south Indian Tamils would want a seperate state too. but what they dont realize is that Indian Tamils don't have any ideas about a separate state. The Indian gov is paranoid to think that way.

Tamil Parliamentarian Raviraj shot dead in Colombo

[TamilNet, Friday, 10 November 2006, 03:43 GMT]
Nadarajah Raviraj, Jaffna district Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarian was shot in Colombo around 8:30 a.m. Friday. The MP succumbed to his wounds at Colombo National Hospital. A lawyer turned politician, former mayor of Jaffna, Mr. Raviraj, elected twice, has been an outspoken parliamentarian who voiced against the extra-judicial killings and forced disapperances in NorthEast and Colombo. The parliamentarian took part in a demonstration Thursday against the Sri Lanka Army shelling in Vaharai where 47 Tamil civilians, Internally Displaced from Trincomalee, were killed, Wednesday.

Nadarajah Raviraj MP

The shooting took place near the MPs residence at Manningtown, Narahenpitiya in Colombo when unknown gunmen riding a motorbike shot at him while he was preparing to drive his car. The MP had just returned from participating in a Derana TV interview program between 7:00 am to 8:00 p.m.

Mr. Raviraj passed away at 9:20 a.m., according to Dr. Hector Weerasinghe at the hospital.

His bodyguard was pronounced dead on admission.

"A democratic voice of Tamils has been silenced in Sri Lanka's capital today," said Selvam Adaikalanathan," fellow TNA MP who charged that resourceful Tamil politicians, journalists and activists are being systematically killed in Sri Lanka.

"Raviraj tirelessly worked to improve the conditions of the people living under economic embargo to relieve the humanitarian catastrophy. He had a convincing way of dealing with even the crude bureaucracy of this failed state," Mr. Adaikalanathan said.

"He fought from their platform. His voice in the Sri Lankan Parliament, and in South, where injustice and oppression originate, was much feared."

"By silencing the democratic voices of the Tamils, the Sri Lankan military and its paramilitaries such as the EPDP will not be able to silence the Tamil struggle," the MP added.

Originally from Chavakachcheri, Raviraj worked as a human rights lawyer in Colombo between 1989 to 1996 before embarking on a political career, first becoming the Mayor of Jaffna.

During the last few months Raviraj participated in the Civil Monitoring Committee (CMC), working with Mano Ganesan MP (Colombo District), Vasudeva Nanayakara MMC, Dr.Vickramabahu Karunaratne, and Appapillai Vinayagamoorthy to monitor extra judicial killings, abductions and disappearances.

Tamil member of Parliament killed in Sri Lankan capital
By KRISHAN FRANCIS
AP
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - A prominent Tamil politician died in hospital after he was shot near his home in the Sri Lankan capital early Friday, a party member and a hospital official said. One of his guards was also killed.

Nadaraja Raviraj, of the Tamil National Alliance was shot as he left his house in Colombo, said K. Sivajilingam, a fellow member of Parliament.

Sivajilingam said that Raviraj also worked as a lawyer and was going to the court "...when some people came and fired at him."

Dr. Anil Jasinghe, a director at the National Hospital said Raviraj died after he was admitted to the hospital, while one of his guard's had died on arrival.

Raviraj was one of the 22 deputies from the alliance - a political party widely believed to be a proxy of the Tamil Tiger rebels - who had joined a demonstration outside the UNHCR office in Colombo on Thursday, urging the agency to help protect thousands of refugees after Sri Lankan military shelling had killed at least 23 Tamil civilians in the east on Wednesday.

The TNA said 41,000 Tamil civilians have been displaced in Batticaloa region.

PM `concerned' over attacks on Lankan Tamils

New Delhi, Nov. 10 (PTI): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today conveyed to DMK chief M Karunanidhi that he was "equally concerned" at attacks on Sri Lanka's Tamils and assured he would discuss the issue with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee so that it could be resolved urgently with the island nation.

Singh gave the assurance to Union Shipping Minister T R Baalu, who met him on behalf of the DMK leader to seek "immediate appropriate intervention" by India to end "unprovoked and indiscriminate offensive of the Sri Lankan Army against innocent Sri Lankan Tamils".

Baalu handed over a copy of a statement issued by Karunanidhi, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, on the recent "shocking rampage" by the Sri Lankan Army against hundreds of Tamils in Sri Lanka.

According to a statement issued by Baalu's office, the Prime Minister told him to convey to Karunanidhi that "he was equally concerned over this human tragedy". The Prime Minister said he would discuss the issue with Mukherjee and the foreign secretary to "try to solve the issue urgently with the government of Sri Lanka".

Baalu briefed the Prime Minister about the recent bombing of a refugee camp at Mattakallapu in northern Sri Lankan by the army which, he alleged, resulted in the death of hundreds of civilian Tamil refugees and children.

This, Baalu said, had shocked the Tamil community across the world.

I am the first to admit the Sinhalese haven't done no good. But terrorism is not the best way to lobby in India. Let the LTTE know tat.

Thats oh so 60's thought. There is no so called free tamil state movement, the party which wanted a free state is a coalition member in the center and ruler of the state and its independent state is not in their agenda anymore.

Any talks of a seperate state by any individual will invite a death bell to him and his party.

Absolutely. And that's the problem with the likes of Vaiko. They have a potentially very influential lobby, and they screw it up thanks to their infinite wisdom.

ok now take a look and say if i was not justified in assuming what i did

seems like u misunderstood jays posting

Samudra · 11-11-2006, 10:00 AM

Vaiko is still the idiot that he was.

Recently when the 50th anniversary of raising the state was celebrated the moron invited none other than Nedumaran, a staunch advocate of Tamil nationalism to preside over the function!

Too chauvanistic for me. His mother tongue is Telugu, like mine, but you have hear the stupid Tamilian nonsense he spews..... :angry:

Nevertheless, nobody with half a brain is looking at a "Tamil Nation" inside Tamil Nadu.

You better work on your comprehension skills. Assuming something not implied won't get you far.

Vaiko is clearly associated with my next sentence which talks about the "likes of Vaiko's" who fail to put up a successful lobbying show despite the odds being stacked so heavily in their favour.

Now it doesn't take a Harvard Degree to figure out that I did not say what you implied onto me.

BUT! u are saying that this is not the way tis meant to be. have u heard of a way of writing in which u say "absolutely" to a previous line, and then claim thats to be actually tagged with a following line?

its funny that u seem to cast doubt on my comprehension process while its plain obvious that if what u claimed about ur sentence structure is true, then u have serious deficiencies when it comes to creating sentences let alone comprehension

and as u claimed earlier, this doesn't need a Harvard education
