ROAD TO JAFFNA REQUIRES GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

Pilgrims just leaving the Nallur Temple say “Saadu, Saadu”

In its bid to attract votes from the North prior to the Presidential Election, the government relaxed several of its security measures.  One of these was the restrictions on travel to Jaffna by the A9 highway.  This was promise that the government made, implemented immediately, and has kept even after the election.  Unfortunately, as I discovered on a visit to Jaffna last week, there were also promises the government made and did not keep which has bitterly disappointed the people.  They include the reunification of detainees in the camps with their families, and the dismantling of High Security Zones to enable people to get back their long lost lands………. http://www.lankaeverything.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2619:-road-to-jaffna-requires-governmental-regulation&catid=21:politic&Itemid=148

LTTE CHIEF’S MOM FLOWN TO MALAYSIA FOR MEDICAL CARE

The mother of late Velupillai Prabhakaran, founder of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eeelam (LTTE), was flown to Malaysia for medical treatment, said a media report. The Sri Lanka-based The Nation reported that the 80-yaer-old Vallipuram Pravathi left Colombo for Kuala Lumpur on Friday, accompanied by a veteran pro-Tamil leader, M.K.Sivajilingam. “She has been sick and on wheelchair now. She has been taken to Malaysia for treatment. She will be there for a few weeks,” a senior Tamil politician told Bernama in a phone interview from Colombo.

Meanwhile, the Nation, an online newspaper, reported that former Jaffna district TNA (Tamil National Alliance) member of parliament Sivajilingam had accompanied Parvathi to Malaysia and that she would be taken care of by her relatives there. The LTTE staged a brutal war against the Sri Lankan government for almost 26 years to set up a separate homeland for the Tamils in the northern part of the island.
