EPDP is not a political party and there are no 'ministers' in it. Number of gimmicks in Sri lanka is unbelievable. Only foreign, gullible countries fail to see this. EPDP is one of the 'white van' abductors 'enforcers' of disappearances in this wretched island. Wake up world!

Sad day for Tamils, All the Tamils are in endanger, until someone terminate this sad killing machine (self style national leader).
My puzzle is about decision making of those leaders of alternative Tamil political groups. They are continually failing to protect their members from killer machine LTTE. It is leader’s responsibility to formulate and identifying process to protect their members from LTTE, as a leader of party and if you are run out of ideas, please resign from your post and take break from leadership and give the leadership to someone who could do something- different to grow the party and protect members.
Anyone can easily understand the VP’s killing pattern, If there is a dull period and he cannot make any offensive again SLA , he will kick start his killing machine against other moderated Tamil party’s or their Tamils who openly opposed to his ideology .
Killers (pistol gangs) will be active for a while and he will rotate the killings to area to area then stop it for while to fool the international community, Rights groups, Tamils and leaders of the parties. And start again the same pattern , as you can see from last few weeks , in Jaffna there was number deaths of un identify killings by LTTE killers, then in Trincomalee , Batticallo (TMVP members) , Vavunia PLOTE member , now again in Jaffna EPDP member.
All the members of Tamils parties got be proactive all time against LTTE, Sometime diamond cut diamond.


If VP hadn't borne for a Tamil mother, Now Tamils would have librated them self from all the oppressions.

EPDP is a paramilitary group.

This lady was the'keep' of paramilitary group leader / warlord Dougles Devananda.

Devananda has been a warlord for more than three decades. During that time he has used and killed many women. Maheshwari is just another number on Devananda's list.
