Has he realised that he was taken for a ride by niromi lobbyist?
DBSJ we are still waiting?

As a reader of entire book, I realised why the Australian Ministry for the Arts and the Australian Arts council have selected it for their 2011 “Get Reading! Campaign” as one of the 50 Books “You Can’t Put Down”!

If you read the entire book then readers will realise what the author wanted to bring…

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to ….

D.B.S.JEYARAJ finds some fatal slips in Niromi De Soyza’s narrative And quietly ignores them hoping they will just go away…..

KP has already given a riveting account of the last days of the LTTE, (via DBS Jeyaraj’s interview) obviously with Gota’s assent. And no one (to my knowledge) has seriously contradicted his account — unlike Niromi’s ‘faction’.
No doubt, he’ll want to give a fuller account of his amazing life and times in due course. Perhaps in a few years time?

Karu na and KP are in the hands of Mahinda. Do you expect just a story or an honest piece from them?

Anandatham,

Moderation is imperative to any news portal. I know how many hate, racist comments emails . It might hijeck the core subject. If DBS does not publish a comment does not mean he blocked everything. It is upto the reader to decide. I would do the same . It has a great responsibility to keep the readers alive and should not waste the readers valuable time.

Having read so many articles and barrage of comments in different channels on this issue by different personalities, may I say that in view of the fact that I come from Tellippalai, a place (VC) which is much closer to Veemankamam, I have reasons to find DBSJ’s investigative verification is more credible.

Therefore, Dear Mr. Selvan, don’t push Mr. Sarvi so hard against the wall. After all he is a ‘Doc’ [Edited out.] laying golden egg, an indispensable asset to his patrons and doing his job, as many others, what’s expected out of them to perform. He does neither live up to the tail of titles displayed following his name nor assert his credibility while demeaning other Docs [Edited out.] Let’s leave him alone. I feel so sorry for his motive that drives him wrongly in a wrong lane. Thanks, Nithy!

Ananathan U have found the real credibility of DBS.Jeyarajah. He has a history of blindly defending his friends at the expense of his integrity. A well example is the serial he wrote on Taraki Sivaram. Every PLOTE insider know that It was Taraki Sivaram who personally murdered two of his PLOTE dissenters Ahilan and Selvam. This murder was documented by University teachers for human Rights ( Jaffna) too. ( See the link http://www.uthr.org/SpecialReports/spreport19ptII.htm#Who) DBSJ Jeyaraj blindly asserted that Taraki was exonerated of the murders. Now DBSJ is out again defending Niromy. Can DBSJ rule out that Niromi is not his relative or not his friends of friends? Can DBSJ rule out he was not influenced by those who lobbied for niromi?

The final point is answered by http://dbsjeyaraj.com/dbsj/archives/3160. So now we can all go back to living our lives…

Good to see another perspective on this ‘Thamil Tigress’ saga. DBS Jeyaraj says that this is a real person and that he knows her real name. Although he does accept that there are inaccurate information in the book.

I’ve always wondered what Muttukrishna Sarvananthan’s agenda is?

He once wrote a reply to MIA (the artiste) in the daily mirror referring to her suggestion that there are more than 400,000 people in the Vanni. Sarvananthan said “there aren’t that many only 150,000”.

In the end we know there were almost double the amount who came out alive.

So what is Dr. Sarvananthan’s line?
