Thank-you for taking the time to put Indi Samarajit in his place in a manner which makes me proud to be called Sri Lankan. I have noted that most people either fawn all over his blog or kick dirt in his face. [Edited out – please refrain from personal attacks and follow our guidelines, thank you].
Having said that, I note also, that other very credible and decent Sri Lankans and seriously it matters not if they are Sinahlese, Ceylonese or Pekinese, it matters that in a country where it is well documented, recorded and historical FACT; that if you speak out against a murderous regime or on behalf of Tamils, or for the rights of journalists, you WILL be targeted and you WILL be harmed.
I fear this election because I think there is a terrible, terrible apathy amongst those who make up the ruling Sinhalese classes that if a mother of 5 gets gunned down like a dog or if there are now over 800 reported instances of election violence, it matters not. And why? Because they will still be ok. Because many of them have been hedging their bets and will immediately be able to switch alliances depending on who wins.

Either way, he like all others of his ilk and not dissimilar to what happened in Nazi Germany; will have blood on his hands and we may forgive, but we will remember and we will certainly seek justice. And at the risk of repeating myself, it will matter not if you are Sinhalese, Ceyonese, Pekinese or Tamil!
