STF security for Chief Minister Pillayan
The Thamil Makkall Vaduthalai Puligal (TMVP) yesterday denied that the government had withdrawn the security of its leader, Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan (Pillayan) of the Eastern Province, explaining that 40 army personnel in the chief minister’s security detail had been replaced with STF personnel.
This was consonant with the government decision that the military will not provide security to politicians, the spokesman explained.
There had been reports that Chandrakanthan’s security had been withdrawn as a result of the TMVP deciding to contest on its own steam in Northern and Eastern districts as well as at Polonnaruwa.
Judy Devadason, TMVP’s Trincomalee district leader, yesterday called for an attitudinal change among politicians saying that until such a change occurs or there are some necessary compromises, there will be no solution to the problems that the people face.
She rejected TNA leader R. Sampanthan’s call for the Tamil people to unite and vote against majority forces saying this was not a constructive approach.
“The Tamil people have not achieved anything by repeatedly voting against the majority,” she said. “They are only promoting racism.”
She called for a practical approach saying that they were living in a country under majority rule and their plans for the Tamil people should be realistic.
“Tamils who are realistic and wished to live with all other ethnic groups in the country must be constructive and vote for the TMVP at the forthcoming elections,” she said.

That’s a great approach. Chief Minister Pillaiyan has the capacity to become a Prime Minister in UPFA’s next term under the stewardship of Namal Rajapaksa. By that time President Mahinda and his team would have established a monolithic, prosperous unitary society in a unitary state. Also the Westminister Constitution given by colonialists, the 1970 socialist constitution influenced by Yuogoslavia’s Marshall Tito and the 1978 constitution written on the Singaporean model (Lee Kuan Yew)would have been replaced by the Medamulana Constitution based on grassroot aspirations of the Sri Lankan polity. hence the likelihood of the grassroots guy, Chief Minister Pillayan, to get to the stage as Prime Minister.
