Meanwhile,, Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader R. Sampanthan, who was on medication in India, is expected to arrive at Colombo today (28) and the TNA members will hold a special meeting with him to discuss the forthcoming Presidential Polls, sources said.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa will also hold his first Presidential Election rally in Jaffna on Friday, 2 January.
The train service to the Northern-most station Kankesanthurai (KKS) from Jaffna will also resume on 02 January.
However, taking into consideration the election laws, President Rajapaksa will not inaugurate the train service officially. But he is expected to buy a ticket at the Jaffna Railway Station and travel by train to KKS.
President Rajapaksa’s Jaffna election rally will take place at the Duraiappah Stadium presided over by Minister and EPDP leader Douglas Devananda, sources said.

Blog 1 response is inconsistent. TNA has always been opportunistic and is opportunistic now as well by declaring TNA will urge the Tamils to vote for Maithree the traitor. TNA has swallowed the bait dangled in front of them by MS and CF. A TRAITOR WILL ALWAYS BE A TRAITOR TO TNA AS WELL!
Hithe.. Dukata ..ethakota Kavi Kiyawenawa……………
There’s a poignant message in the story above.
“Sirisena will address his first Jaffna meeting at Muththirai Chanthi in Nallur….”
Do you know what “Muththirai Chanthi” means?
Well, “Mutththirai” means ‘Urine’ and “Chanthi” means ‘juntion’.
So Mr MY3, the bleating goat’s meeting in Jaffna, in Nallur in the junction where the public urinate !!! Isn’t that an apt location ???
