Dr Telli C Rajaratnam…. Is he a fair and just arbiter of merit, or a shameless sycophant or a rogue Terrorist (like babu – with Premadasa) who is trying to curry favour with the president before he plans to cause him harm? One can never tell if telli is genuine or not…
Lasantha is wrong to label Dr Rajaratnam as a sycophant or even an assassin waiting for the moment to strike.
Dr Rajaratnam is an intelligent, well respected professional Tamil gentleman who is appealing to the Tamil community especially, to appreciate the excellent development work Hon President has done pro-actively for the whole country and for the Tamil community, unlike other politicians before him, and to co-operate with President’s efforts to unite the country under MC Idiri Dekma, as ONE NATION ONE COUNTRY.
He is opposing and appealing to the TNA and other rabid Tamil politicians who are trying to divide the country on ethnic lines, to quit such divisive tactics on LTTE policy because it would lead to more suffering to the Tamil community especially. The real enemies of the Tamil community are therefore these rabid Tamil politicians, who are indulging in such divisive politics for vested interests.
Dr Rajaratnam is a tamil of Indian origin. He has been running a website which propogates extreme sinhala nationalistic views for the past couple of years. Dr R has a history of severe psychiatric problems and his behaviour in public has drawn police intervention. I wouldn’t touch him with the end of a barge pole. I fear tragedy in this relationship with MR.
Devlin Karka and Pethiyagoda reflect the typical forms of jealousy and animosity. Dr. is not of indian origin and he is the most senior Tamil SLFP member. Pethi and Karka you must be cautious because your locations have been identified by your IP addresses. Thanks for the contributions but just pause a while there will be a Sarath or a Lavan or a suchitra in the venom. Whatever your frustrations are bitter.
Is it a crime to speculate on the motivations of public figures who only praise to high heaven and quite unnaturally at that, for our IP addresses to be identified and for us to be “dealt with”? Surely the criminal justice system should be able to properly deal with any breaches of whatever law that Sri Lanka has in place, to counter dissenting or alternate views to that of one group? Isn’t that why there is a police department, CID and the courts? What is Ms Iresha Wickremasinghe alluding to?
