ஸ்ரீலங்கா அரசுசார் இந்துவின் செய்தியாளர் முரளிதர் ரொட்டி இந்த அளவுக்கேனும் நடுநிலையாகச் செய்தியைத் தருவாரா?

For Sri Lankan Tamils, the Tamils in Tamil Nadu offer a strange hope. Refusing to take money from me for a ride in his vehicle, a Tamil auto driver in Colombo says: "This is the only way we could repay the Tamils in your country for their support and solidarity. Please tell your chief minister to help us live in peace."

Liberated Fear
By Kavitha Muralidharan
Life in Batticaloa in eastern Sri Lanka, which was 'liberated' from the LTTE by the army in 2007, is no better. Caught between the factionalism of Tamizh Makkal Viduthalai Puligal (TMVP), which rules the province, and shootouts, the people of Batticaloa live in constant fear. "Liberation has meant nothing to us. We cannot walk around freely. We live in fear of being abducted or killed," said Batticaloa resident Neelakantan. On the day I travelled to the region, an inspector was shot dead by unknown persons at Saintha Maruthu. Following the killing of a Sinhala doctor in Batticaloa, the doctors were boycotting work in the east.

Chief Minister of the Eastern Provincial Council, Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillaiyan of the TMVP, said there was a plan to annihilate the council in the same way the Northeast Provincial Council under Chief Minister Waradaraja Perumal had been destroyed in the 1990s. "I face the same fate as Waradaraja Perumal," he had said in November.
