ADB assists resettled IDPs in Jaffna peninsula

In the context of Sri Lanka government failing in its duty to provide assistance to the resettled Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Jaffna peninsula as promised, Asian Development Bank (ADB) has stepped in to help the IDPs, paying each of the 16,831 IDP families with the second stage payment of 25,000 rupees, sources in Jaffna said. It is alleged that the government is yet to pay the first stage of payment of 5,000 rupees to some of the IDP families, the sources added. …………………  http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=31317

Magistrate courts to be built in Vanni where IDPs are yet to be resettled

Sri Lanka government is actively engaged in building police stations and magistrate courts in the districts of Ki’linochchi and Mullaiththeevu in Vanni where Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are yet to be resettled, sources in Vanni said. Secretary to the Ministry of Justice made a sudden visit Wednesday to Ki’linochchi and Mullaitheevu with the view to find locations for the magistrate courts to be built. He was accompanied by Buddhist Priest Rev. Athamba Buthara Kalyanasitha Thero and the magistrates of Vavuniyaa, Mannaar and the magistrates appointed to Ki’linochchi and Mullaiththeevu, the sources added…………… http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=31316

Tamil Minorities are ‘Vines and Creepers’

  • ‘ Tamils have to believe they are a minority and accept that fact’ says President Mahinda.

  • ‘There is NO special place for the Tamils, and that they as a minority have to give way to the majority’s cultural hegemony’ says Mahinda.

There is hardly a whimper about the state of Tamil politics after the presidential election where the kingmaker status of the key Tamil politicians turned out to be, well, highly overestimated. Since then, most Tamil leaders have been gravitating towards the government, splintering the Tamil political project even further.

Well, all this took my mind back to a time when D. B. Wijetunge was the president, and he said that minorities are ‘vines and creepers’ that grow among the shade giving canopy of the majority…………..  http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2010/03/vines-and-creepers-time.html

    Being a sinhala buddhist I am ashamed to read the comments of a sinhala lunatic. Already the sinhala race is split in sri lanka, each hurling abuses against each other.More to come and would reach an uncontrolable state with bloodshed.Already our tamil and muslim brothers are laughing at us.Roshan,you can write any bullshit because this web site is not authorising the comments or don’t have the facility.

    I don’t know why Uktamilnews is letting racist Roshan to write his stupid comments.It seems that Uktamilnews is sponsored by the SL govt and perhaps EPDP.

    As I said so many times, Our Rt.Hon.Mahinda Echoed my messages to the useless tamils to grasp the reality.
    Thee is no special place for illegal immigrants in any country on the earth, why the Srilanka have to be exception??
    Can tamils ask special treatment in the UK where they immigrated or in Canada?? resounding NO.
