O King Mahinda!
You deserve all the honour. Great!
I hope the CHOGM delegates return home impressed by the genuine progress, especially in the N and E ravaged by the brutal terrorist LTTE. Thank God the LTTE were totally wiped out by the combined efforts of MR, GR, SF and the boys!
TNA, Tamil Nadu big mama and the diaspora Tamils can shout as much as they can and produce false propaganda docs to show on Ch 4 etc but the world knows its all hogwash. Let them waste their money, who cares!
I do hope MR request the truth to be revealed through our own expert documentary workers using enough material from newsreels and videos captured from LTTE bases which had been overrun by our defence forces. Let the true terrorist face of the LTTE and its stooge TNA be exposed to the world.
SL is ONE NATION ONE COUNTRY. The TNA and its stooges will never be allowed autonomy.
War criminals are to be found in the imperial West by the galore and not in SL.
