Arrest of VAIKOBy: Rajendran Muthu | Friday , 31 Oct '08 13:25:25 PM Reply | Forward The arrest of Mr. Vaiko is a political issue not law and order. The government is partial in dealing issues like this. If supporting Tamils is crime, it is unforunate and the congress will feel sorry for this after the coming parliamentary election. Tamil Nadu congress play double standard in the issue of Tamils in Tamil Nadu and Srilanka.

all banded orgs supporters to be jailed for mininum 10 yrsBy: Prasanna V | Sunday , 26 Oct '08 3:42:53 AM Reply | Forward Why Ms Jayalalitha still has allainance with MDMK. She says that she doesnt support LTTE and MDMK openly accepted that they support the banded organization. These are political games. These peoples dont worry about our peoples in our state rather than they try to prove that they are helping tamil peoples in Srilanka. Why they bother about other countries peoples is it they speak the same language that we speak. We have to remember that we are Indians and then quote your state. They took away our great PM Hounarable PM Rajiv. We should not forgot that. Any one who support them should be jailed with no mercy. Even I think Congress forgive everything about what happened in 1991. We lost a great leader that too in our state. For that atleast shut our mouth and keep quite for not saving our great leader.

JavaBy: Javanathan | Saturday , 25 Oct '08 14:30:19 PM Reply | Forward One articles indicated that Srilankan Legislature denied Tamils of jobs. How come a a Former LTTE cdre who laid down arms and contested an election become the Chief Minister of The Eastern Province. The second in command of Prabhakaran became a member of Parliament. Former leader of armed movement Douglus Devananda a Minister in the Parliament. The leader of Tamil National Alliance is now a Minister in the parliament.Two members of Tamil Congress(Indian Tamil workers Union) are now mInisters. How come Tamils have no jobs.Can't these ministers employ their supportes. All those alegations are nonesense. People who write these articles knoe that these fabricated stories.

ARREST RAMADAS ALSOBy: Iraydasan | Saturday , 25 Oct '08 12:53:18 PM Reply | Forward Dr. Ramadas is one of the fire brand politicians of Tamil Nad. His son is Dr. Anbumani Ramadas is the honourable Union Minister of Health.In an interview given in Delhi on 21st October 2008, Dr. Ramadas has said that (1) LTTE is not a terrorist organisation, but it is a liberation movement. An alliance leader openly challenges the stand of the nation and supports the killers of India’s Prime Minister. Dr.Ramadas also said in the same interview that (2) No one could stop the establishment of a separate Tamil nation called Tamil Elam. This stand is also against the wishes of the majority Indians and the policies of the UPA. The Indian Govt stand is that they will not allow Sri Lanka to be partitioned, though the demand of the Tamils can be accommodated by giving full autonomy to Tamil majority areas.It is difficult to understand why the Prime Minster and the Indian Govt. tolerates this non-sense from a tiny little political party which hates others on caste basis

LTTE, the curse of Sri Lankan tamilsBy: Joseph | Saturday , 25 Oct '08 3:56:43 AM Reply | Forward What has LTTE given to tamils over last 25yrs. Only piles of misery. Kidnapped and sacrificed more than 10,000 kids from arms of screeming parents, only 10% of tamil kids sit for exams, allows tamils to open mouth only to eat, despite billions collected not a grain of rice or a panadol for tamils, EVEN STOLEN TSUNAMI money from tamils who lost every thing, taken away all known human rights from tamils and reduced them to puppets at gun point, 50,000 tamils have fled to the south unable to bear barbarism, killed many thousands of tamils to include political opponents/interllectuals/ priests/ teaches etc for opposing the stupidity of a grade 8 drop out manic depressive 'leader'. No wonder when Richard Boucher, US undersecretary said that 'LTTE has brought only misery to tamils' How true it is!

Violent LeadersBy: Rajesh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 12:42:25 PM Reply | Forward Its hard to understand why our politicians (especially the minor ones) always talk about violance in order to get popular. Perhaps there is some problem with Indian public which get attracted to violent leaders?? Indian public need to do retrospective so that we dont have leaders who try to gain popularity through violent approach and breaking of law. My beloved countrymen, please shun such leaders !!

BAN PARTYS SUPPORT LTTEBy: KARI | Friday , 24 Oct '08 12:08:24 PM Reply | Forward We have got the prize for supporting them earlier, by losing our beloved leader Rajiv Gandhi. The politicians and others who are shedding crocodile tears first work for Tamilians welfare here. in the name of Tamil the partys in Tamilnadu only promoted there familys. tamilians here must act first to find a good leader to rule them and develope the sociiety.

Let Prabakaran Apologise.By: Yerwadian | Sunday , 26 Oct '08 5:35:28 AM Reply | Forward Very true, ban political parties that openly support LTTE and Prabakaran.We can consider helping Tamils to achieve autotomy for jaffna Tamils, if Prabaharan is brought to India to face Trial on Rajiv's brutal murder and if LTTE elects a different leader who is not like Prabakaran.Or Let Prabakaran come forward and openly accept his guilt and apologise to the family of Rajiv and the people of India.People like Vaiko are trying to increase their vote bank by jumping on to a colourful and terrorist LTTE band wagon. How can he be the friend of Congress party but at the same time decide to stab India at the back?

Vaiko arrest is illegal, karunanidhi has become guiltyBy: venkatesh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 10:39:57 AM Reply | Forward We pepople (can keep quiet) all tamil youths after vaiko arrested this is by the the anger Mr. Vaikos member.

Tamilians Vs MaharashtriansBy: Indian | Friday , 24 Oct '08 9:41:11 AM Reply | Forward This event clearly highlights the double standards for the media. If Maharashtrains raise their voice to protect interests of their people, they are dubbed as "Terrorists". This is when Maharashtra has given a number of freedom fighters (Tilak, Savarkar, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, etc.) social activists (Ambedkar, Baba Amte etc.) and exceptional people in other walks of life (probably other than business which is their weak point) who always believed in the idea Indian nation. Right from the times of Shivaji, who fought to build Indian nation, till date, ordinary Maharashtrians always believes that their destiniy is with India. This is unlike Tamilians who demanded separate Tamil nation since independence, unlike Sikh who asked for Khalistan, unlike north east states who want to break away. We don't want to break away but to be simply respected in our country, in our state and in our cities. Is this too much to ask for? If Tamilians do such things, there is not a whimper in media, why?

who's not respecting youBy: common man | Friday , 24 Oct '08 10:34:21 AM Reply | Forward What make's you feel that you are not respected in you own country ? Why are you so centered around Maharashtra ? What the Thackeray’s are doing can never be justified, the same way as what Viako is doing. Do not get carried away with the stupid provocations of MNS or Shiv Sena. Maharashtra has given us so many patriots, but it's really sad that today people are following cheap politics of MNS and Sena. Wake Up. Jai Hind.

Irrespective of politics, politicians etc, let justice prevail. Let simplicity, honesty, dedication, virtues be winning parameters for common man.By: P. Suresh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 9:28:07 AM Reply | Forward Prayer that due justice happens to rightful causes irrespective of politics, politicians etc. Prayer that honesty, dedication, simplicity, virtues etc be winning parameters under real life conditions for common man. Prayer that artificialities GOOOOOOO once for all.
