(Lanka-e-News -06.Feb.2016, 11.00PM) If the Sinhala community takes one step towards co existence with the Tamil community , the latter will take ten steps towards the Sinhala people , said the chief minister of North , C.T. Vigneswaran .The latter made these comments stemming form his delight at the singing of the national anthem on the 4th in Tamil at the celebration in commemoration of the independence day The chief minister visited the Jaffna Naga deepa Viharaya 5th morning to worship Lord Buddha, and pay his respects to the Vihara’ s chief incumbent .
‘We are indeed delighted at the happenings on the 4 th. That is, we are extremely happy that the national anthem was sung in the Tamil language. Though it is a small matter , it is an index that changes have taken place in Sri Lanka (SL) which aim at recognizing the brotherhood of the Sinhalese and the Tamils. Therefore I visited the Naga deepa Vihara to meet the Buddhist monks and express our sentiments. I would like to say , if the Sinhalese people will take one step forward towards us , the Tamil people will take ten steps towards the Sinhala people.’
This was the first occasion Vigneswaran paid a visit to the Nagadeepa viharaya, Jaffna and engaged in worship.
R.Sampanthan , the opposition leader who participated in the Independence day commemoration was assisted physically by Mrs. Hema Premadasa the wife of late president R. Premadasa who died as a result of an LTTE suicide bomber’s attack. When these photographs were published by the media , the public expressed great joy at it. The media also reported that when the national anthem was sung in Tamil , Samapanthan was so overwhelmed with emotion that tears of joy flooded his eyes.
Meanwhile , Medamulana brutal Rajapakse commenting on the singing of the national anthem in Sinhala said in his characteristic barbaric uncouth style , ‘if this is to go on , the national anthem will have to be sung in arabic language too.’ Anas Hussain , a Sinhala ,Tamil , Arabic , English translator speaking to Lanka e news in this conncetion had this to say….
A group which calls itself ‘patriots’ are screaming because the national anthem was sung in Tamil , it is tantamount to surrendering to the Tamil Tiger supporters, while Mahinda Rajapakse says , soon , the national anthem will have to be sung in Arabic. But do you know ? during the period of Mahinda Rajapakse reign , all the Tamil medium school books that were printed had the national anthem in Tamil language .Even when Bandula Gunawardena was the minister , that happened. When we attended school in the 1980 period , we sang the national anthem in Tamil.
I feel very sorry for the people in our country who having no knowledge of the history are trusting only the malicious reports of pro MaRa sordid media coolies .

This is a good movement. Actually speaking, this Island were inhabited by Tamils. However due innocentness, so called fucking Sinhalese cunningly chased Tamils. Now the time has come to fuck these Sinhalese, for most the so called monks. It was better to fuck this monk, Sobitha, even-though, he was behind Good governance, he was also another fucker, who lost so called perks from Rajapakse and may rise again Ranil too.
