Tamil campaigners were stopped from serving a war crimes arrest warrant on a Sri Lankan general by his premature departure from Britain. An application was lodged at Horseferry Road magistrates court, central London, but inquiries by Scotland Yard established that he had left on Thursday night. Tamil groups blame the president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, and his senior officers for the deaths of 40,000 civilians in the final stages of the civil war last year. The Oxford Union withdrew an invitation for Rajapaksa to speak this week citing threats of mass protests.

LTTE organisation has been proscribed in UK and remains proscribed. But diaspora LTTE continues to function well in UK (and in USA) under pseudo names for convenience. They are allowed to collect funds in UK openly for LTTE terrorism, albeit as ‘rehabilitation of Tamils in the North and East’. The diaspora LTTE are also allowed to hold protest marches and demonstrations in London, to wave their flag with its red background, which is symbolic of the mass massacres they committed of Sinhalese and Muslims living in the former LTTE controlled areas, in repeated racist purges of genocide. The imperial West and the UNSG closed their eyes to the genocide committed by the LTTE over 30 years, when 60,000 were killed by them brutally. My question is why does the British government tolerate the open flouting of British laws against terrorist demonstrations, in UK soil? Why do they tolerate the criminal activities of LTTE in committing credit card fraud and collection of funds from the Tamil community in UK by force and intimidation and by malpractice? Had the Alqaeda sympathisers in Britain held demonstarations and collected funds for Alqaeda activities, surely the British government would not be tolerant and would have arrested the ring leaders and clapped them in irons. This benevolent attitude of the British government to the diaspora LTTE to carry on business as usual, albeit under different names, is sheer hypocrisy, we in SL greatly deplore. We should now organise mass demonstrations in front of British Embassy in Colombo to denounce such hypocrisy.
Hon President’s trip to UK at vast expense to SL was a total waste of time and money. It was a cunning ploy from the beginning by diaspora LTTE in conspiracy with Oxford Union, to get the President down to embarrass him by trying to have him arrested on dubious war crimes charges, along with a member or two of his retinue. When that failed the OU embarrassed the President by a unilateral cancellation of the meeting at OU on security grounds. The security issue was there from the beginning. They knew they cannot provide the cover. So the whlole purpose of the invitation by OU is to get him arrested. I blame the Presidential advisers for planning this debacle. I had my misgivings from the beginning though I had not expressed it. The diaspora LTTE may have also plotted his assassination using Somalian and Eastern European contract killers in UK. The President salvaged some of his rationale for the trip by having a private meeting with British Defence Secretary and by hosting a dinner for some EU and British cross-party parliamentarians, to put his view across with regard to the final stages of the War of Liberation, the re-settlement of Tamil hostages of LTTE, and rehabilitation of LTTE cadres in captivity. He has also asked for continued British support to clear the North of land mines and for funding with the economic development of North and East. So I hope these meetings be fruitful.
I am very happy that the Hon President returned home safe and sound. Thanks be to GOD! I hope he will now enjoin the huge top-heavy cabinet of ministers and deputies to pro-actively help to develop the country, especially the rural areas, with infrastructure building, healthcare, housing, education and employment. These parliamentarians need to be supervised so that they provide a genuine service to the people who have to bear the huge costs of such a large cabinet. They must be made accountable for their activities.
You got the chance to migrate to UK because VP dog created a situation in the North of SL so as a respect to that doggy you should help the organisation; downside is that the whole world will understand you as a stupid Bxxxh; this is for you and thousands of other stupid dogs and bxxxxxs.
Dear Nicholas,
The address by the Dharaneeshwara Kalyani in the Oxford University premises was not organised by the Oxford Union.
The event was organised by the Oxford University Sri Lankan Students Sangamaya. It has 8 members and run by a student who claims to be advised by HE MR.
The Dharaneeshwara Kalyani has ordered an investigation of this student on the afternoon of the cancellation.

DC, who the f#%k is your “Kalyani”? Nobody knows about any Kalyani except you and we are not here to talk about your secret mistress Kalyani. Don’t waste our time by talking nonsense. Take some medicines if you are going crazy. Whoever this bitch is I am not going to compare her with our President.
Manju,
Please don’t go ballistics.
Dharaneeswara Kalyani is a title awarded by a group of saffron robes to SL’s leading citizen at a cermony held recently.
Here is the report:
The Kalyaniwansa Chapter of the Amarapura Maha Sangha Sabha yesterday honoured President Mahinda Rajapaksa with the Sri Lanka Dharaneeshwara Kalyani title in recognition of his exceptional service in steering the country towards victory over terrorism.
The presentation of the honorary title was held at the 200th year celebration of the Sri Kalyaniwansa chapter at Temple Trees yesterday. Over 1,000 erudite monks led by the Mahanayake of the Amarapura Sri Sangha Sabha Most Ven Dauldena Gnanisswara Thera were present. The Maha Sangha belonging to the Sri Kalyaniwansa Chapter bestowed the honorary title on the President for liberating the country which was on the verge of being separated at the hands of LTTE terrorists.
The Kalyaniwansa chapter was established by Most Ven Sri Kathaluwe Gunarathnatissa Mahanayake Thera in 1810 after receiving higher ordination from Ramanna State in Myanmar.
The descendants of this chapter has rendered immeasurable service to revive Buddhism in the country and the world. Several books written by a number of erudite monks on the Kalyaniwansa chapter were presented to the President and Prime Minister D M Jayaratne.
Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister Jayaratne lauded the social and religious service rendered by the Sri Kalyaniwansa chapter during the last two centuries.

My dear Dc,I think you are clever enough to think,because there is no place for terrorist in srilanka,the srilanken army is strong enough to beat any kind of terrorism,You have seen past.therefore you have to be like Mr.Karuna or other terrorist,they have realize there is no future with bloody prabakaran and that is why they choose real democrati with Mr.President and they deservit.Rememer whole world is going for peace except the LTTE,and the western tamils.
