    The main opposition in Sri Lanka has accused President Mahinda Rajapaksa's administration of offering a lump sum to arch rival Tamil Tigers.

The United National Party (UNP) said Rajapaksa offered Rs.1500 million to LTTE before and after November 2005 presidential elections.

Cannot comment whether this story is true or false. If it is true, it looks like Tigers have got a lot more than what they were promissed.     

The end justifies the means! It is not imporant whether LTTE was paid to defeat UNP or not but  the end result made a bold man be incharge of the country at the right time when the world is beginning to realize that it is time to eradicate the terrorist menence. Had Ranil come to power he would have bowed down to the Tigers and signed a deal for them to rule one  third of the country, inevitably leading to the Eelam. Who could guarentee it would remain one third or would extend beyond that.

Whether bribed or not LTTE did the right thing to help army to liberate Tamils in the East and North from their cluches by discouraging voters and later trying to kill the army commander and the secretary to the ministry of defence.

Quote:

It is the government's responsibility to prove if the allegations are wrong, Karunathilake told bbcsinhala.com.

This is utter balderdash. Just because Karunathilake speaks to, most of the time, other ignoramus like himself, he assumes that everyone he talks to is an profound genius.

It is the responsibility of the person who makes the assertion to prove his case. This is accepted practice. I can't say "Karunathilake is a gay bird" and "Disprove it if you can".

Sort of reminds me of another SF (SBDissanayake it was I think) telling foreign workers, the previous government gave you only 30 (say) rupees for your dollar... we are giving 45. I ask you!

Politics needs it anyway. one can't live without the other. who knows who gave more, Ranil or Mahinda!! Even the oldest profession is based on money!!

Hah hah hah... BBC sinhala service....
At time I really enjoy listning to BBC Sandeshaya.... I enjoy (kalu) Bandara being blasted by SL army military spokesman Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe and Minister Keheliya Rabukwalla for his childish and foolish questions.

BBC Sinhala service is shamelessly washing dirty and bloddy linen of LTTE terrorists for penny s and licj the slippers of Norway and UK...

We all know BBC sinhala service is not consists of professional journalists but mere reporters of tamilnet and few so called newspaper reporters in SL..

I feel for them, they can not find any other job in UK... So they dance to the tone of others....

I would rather choose to sell beetle than doing dirty work for terrorists...

By the way why we have to read BBC for news in Sri Lanka,, Its time to create our own local news network,,, News is a business item,, BBC will try to sell news disregarding accuracy. Thats why they deliberately spread that last terrorist attack on air force camp as a attack on Colombo international airport...

Its time for us to use our brain and read through the lines with historic facts in mind..
---------------------
This is Sri Lanka.  we are a independent nation and gonna is the days of colonialism.... If UK still thinks otherwise, its time to get out of their dreams....

I think we should not be foolish to reject or accept these stories.
According to the way the country is going on any thing can be true.
No argument about UNP or Ranil. Tthey are not good. So we didnot elect them.


MR wanted to to come to power and now want to be in the power. He did, does and will do any thing that help him to keep the Crown.
Look now he is telling good things of JR and the Exicutive Presidency (Even JHU help it).
Recently made a big story about Singhala tigers, but now say that it is a Army intelegence unit.

These people dont bother baout starving poor people. They try to collect as much as big commissions from public money.
To help is they will keep the war.
This is a never ending war. If we have won the war how come LTTE become dare enough to come, attack Katunayake and go back safely?

Two helicopters are damaged no, that means sveral millions of commisions to buy another set of old Ukranian chopers from Parkistan or Itiyopia.
This country is poor not becuase we dono work. It is because of the traitors we elect alsways.

"loading...says

"Karunathilake is a gay bird" and "Disprove it if you can".

Do you mean this story is true if your statement is correct.
Anyway what you said abou Karunatilake  is corrct. People know who are the poeple gathering about RW. Noone should try to prove or disprove.
Now disprove the story to giving money to LTTE.

I believe we are talking of elections held in 2005 where our good looser called Ranil Master lost the elections for the 14th time? If these payments were made I suppose these irragularities should have been reported at that time.Our politicians of all colours behave as if they were born yesterday and had nothing to do with whatever happened day before yesterday. It also shows the calliber of the people's representatives. (Dear poor poeple are the idoits not the MPs) I can not understand how people say MR should proove it is not true. The law as it is practiced here makes the burden of proof with the caomplaint not with the accused. rather than saying that happend this happened , put it in paper and paresnt it in parliament and let it be recorede in the Hansard so that all citizens can see what had been done during the elcections. If not keep the Bl...dy mouth shut and let the GOSL deal with the tamil terrorists menance without stupid distractions.

Mahinda gave 1500 million to LTTE.  

Typical "Watti-amma" gossip.  1500 million ( Kaju eta da, Koss eta da) ?

I say, MR is hiding Osama Bin Laden inside the president's house. Its govt's responsibilty to prove me wrong.

Thats's about USD 15 million. If only LTTE had utilized it to acquire a MIG, they could have destoyed the rest of the 60% of air power too, and lived happily ever after without having to worry about aerial bombs falling on their heads

dont forget, that ltte did destory the SLAF fleet before(almost 100%), and SLAF end up using private owned 12 seaters for their own during ratwatte period. LTTE's fire power still remains as before with out any major damages.
amount of bombs dropped todate, should've been demolished any sign of LTTE utility in the north/ east. But "some strange" way, it is not the case. One thing is clear, If this so called deal is true then it will be a big victory for MR, as tamils definitley will have second thought on Tigers. (& sihnalese also will realise the tragedy nature of the political business !!)
So ball in MR's court.

From the beginning President invited the LTTE to negotiate the issues. He sincerly belived that he could work out an amicable agreement with LTTE to stop killings. He thougth he could save the thousands of innocent tamil people who are part and parcel of Sri Lanka suffering under LTTE's ruthless grip.  He even asked the so called son god to come to have a one to one talk. President always believed that he could bring a peaceful solution for the problem. But the LTTE leadership never gave an opportunity for him. After thousans and thousand of ceasefire violations by LTTE president start defencing his counry. This president is the most uncorrupted and most sincere leader we can ever get. He is loyal to his party and to his country. He has been approached by the UNP many times. But he never jump the ship. He is a man with a strong backbone. There are only two parties want him down. It is LTTE and UNP. People can understand who is in a pact to eliminate President Mahinda Rajapakse.  People who give this kind of stories about the president should be punished for slandering. This sort of statements should not appear in the news paper without having properly checked out the facts.  Media has to be impartial and ethical. Giving world wide pulbicity for this sort of garbage stories without having an iota of facts is totaly unethical. Before LTTE and JVP we had the freedom of movement and freedom of living without fear of bombs etc. JVP learned it lesson and got matured. Thanks to Ranjan Wijeratne the extremisst element in JVP got eliminated. This is the only solution that is applicable for LTTE. With Hitler' death the Nazi movement got eliminated. Prabakaran is a menace not only to Sri Lanka but to the entire democratic world. He has to go. Prabakaran has to pay the price for what he has done for the Indian priminister, Sajeev Gandhi, Neelan Thiruchelvam, Kadiragamar, Rajini Thiranagama and over 60,000 innocent tamils. UNP should think about a united Sri Lanka rather than LTTE.
