LTTEs are freedom fightersBy: Mathusoothanan | Friday , 24 Oct '08 1:24:30 AM Reply | Forward LTTEs are freedom fighters. They did commit a mistake of killing Rajiv Gandhi, however Indra Gandhi and Gandi was also assassinated. I don't understand how you consider the whole LTTE as a extremist. They are basically a government for Tamil people in Sri Lanka. LTTE is not as bad as western/Sinhala media portrays it. This is the crucial time when India must step in solve the problem. India is considered super power of South Asia but has done nothing for Tamil people’s right to self-determinate in Sri Lanka.
Karunanidhi's DramaBy: Vinodh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 1:18:54 AM Reply | Forward "Directors Seeman and Ameer had made some objectionable remarks well before Vaiko's Statements which amounted to challenging the sovereignty of the country. They had gone to the extent of demanding a separate Tamil Nadu," Karunanidhi should have arrested Director Seeman, Bharathiraja etc., before arresting Vaiko. Tamil Nadu Government had not taken any action against them and nobody can expect action against them as long as Karunanidhi, who had written poems condoling the death of LTTE leaders, continued to be the Chief Minister.
Ethnic Indians in Sri LankaBy: another Convert | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 22:57:01 PM Reply | Forward Sri Lankan tamils are ethnic indians. They were denied citizenship both by India and Sri Lanka after independence from British. They were unfortunate people caught in the wrong place at that time. ONLY SINHALESE legilstation denied them jobs. The Buddhist majority in Sri Lanka did injustice to them. This is being corrected by pressure from LTTE.
Arrest of KarunanidiBy: Javanandan | Saturday , 25 Oct '08 14:19:05 PM Reply | Forward Most of the Tamils are now in Colombo doing business and enjoying more facilities and previledges than Sinhalese and Muslims. They are protected from any forms of threats in Colombo by Sinhalese and Muslims. Some of them take all these previledges to support LTTE and target innocent civilians by helping them to blast Claymore bombs.If they are so discriminated how can they leave claymore bombs in buses and trains and get off safely.Who is caring for the innocent victims of these blasts.If LTTE needs a separate state do not try to kill innocent people. Go far elctions and try to win an election in their own homeland.Former LTTE fighter who has laid down arms is now a chief minister. The Second in command of Prabhakaran is now a Parlimentary member.He will soon be a powerful minister. Who knows if Prabhakaran did not kill Rajiv Ghandi he would have been the Prime MInister of Srilanka. His place now will go to Ananada SangariJavanathan
Depraved PoliticsBy: sva | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 21:23:25 PM Reply | Forward I dont think we need terrorists to destroy our country when we have our politicians who do that job better. Vaiko is not the only one being singled out here. Look around you and with your hand on your heart is there any politician in this country that you can trust? I can't find a single one.
Time to thinkBy: Raj | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 21:19:12 PM Reply | Forward Let us all listen to these Aryans whom to support and whom not to support.
Vaiko arrested for pro-LTTE remarks, slams ManmohanBy: derek | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 21:04:08 PM Reply | Forward After trying to split the country on religious lines, the ministers are trying to break up a foreign counrty. Congratulations India on being a leader in creating tensions among the people within and outside the country.
Refugees from SrilankaBy: Kula | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 20:35:33 PM Reply | Forward Do they want them to be killed before they reach India. As you know SL army is not scared to kill your Indian fishermen. Killing Srilankan refugees are not very difficult, because they know nobody will ask them.
VaikoBy: Govind | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 20:16:50 PM Reply | Forward vaiko is a true tamilian.
vaiko is a true tamilian. By: Raja | Friday , 24 Oct '08 16:48:00 PM Reply | Forward "vaiko is a true tamilian" in what sense? VAIKO'S GAME PLAN IS TO HAVE LTTE REALIZE THEIR DREAM OF A SEPERATE EELAM STATE IN SRI-LANKA, AND THE HAVE THE LTTE WAGE WAR AGAINST THE INDIAN CENTRAL GOVERNMRNT AND SEPERATE TAMIL NADU FROM THE REST OF INDIA. ONCE THIS IS DONE, THE NORTH AND EAST OF SRI-LANKA AND TAMIL NADU WILL BECOME ONE COUNTRY. THEN LTTE LEADER PRABAKARAN WILL BE THE PRESIDENT OF TAMIL EELAM AND VAIKO WILL BE THE PREMIER OF TAMIL EELAM.VAIKO IS ONE PATHETIC POLITICIAN WHO IS TRYING DESPERATELY TO CLIMB UP THE RANKS IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER. HE IS COUNTING ON OBAMA TO WIN THE US ELECTION SO THAT OBAMA WILL LIFT THE BAN ON THE LTTE TERRORIST OUTFIT. HE SHOULD WRITE A BOOK ON HIS OWN FAILURES AS A TAMIL POLITICIAN INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME WRITING A BOOK ON OBAMA WITH FAVORS AND ULTERIOR MOTIVES IN MIND. VAIKO IS A DISGRACE TO THE TAMILS AND TO THE CIVILIZED WORLD.
true tamilianBy: Rajesh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 12:52:06 PM Reply | Forward Is that suppose to be a compliment?
VaikoBy: Dominic | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 20:06:43 PM Reply | Forward Unfair arrest , simply because the govt is showing double standards - Togadia and Singhal as well as KS sudarshan should first be arrested for treason and anti-national statments
Unfair???By: Yethirajan | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 21:03:30 PM Reply | Forward Though this arrest is unfair, there is a difference between terrorism and religious extremism. Both shud be condemned but are not same. What vaiko did was supporting a banned outfit, but what singhal and co doing is religious extremism. Both shud not be viewed as same as another.
