This dogs don’t have even home land they all ways run around the street so what you expect form them if i can stoned them i will do that behalf of our brave war heroes.
It is a typical and dafalt answer by the anti-sri lankan LTTE supporters. I don’t expect them to say, yes we were talking and gathering against Sri Lanka.
“Reconciliation and reconstruction” were fancy words used here to cover-up their naked back side. Wicramabahu thanked the organisers for giving him a chance to “shed tears for the heros of LTTE” and if anybody says it is for reconstruction and unity then he or she must be writing and talking from their rear side. Because those lies are so stinky and only suits those stinky dogs like them.
