Tamil group to break over 1000 coconuts to bless Hillary
A group of Sri Lankan Tamils in Jaffna will break over 1,000 coconuts and light as many candles to bless Hillary Clinton, saying the Democratic presidential candidate’s win would be important for the future of the minority community.
“We will break 1,008 coconuts on November 8 to bless her ahead of the US election. We expect her to win the election,” M K Shivajilingam, a Tamil National Alliance (TNA) member of the Tamil-controlled northern provincial council, said yesterday.
The event will take place in Jaffna’s historic Kandsamy Kovil in Nallur. There will also be lighting of 1,008 candles at the Jaffna Cathedral, he said.
Tamils in Sri Lanka believe they can find political solution only with the intervention of the US and Hillary’s win would be important for the future of the minority community in Sri Lanka, Shivajilingam said.
The Obama administration has extended its support to the reconciliation efforts promised by President Maithripala Sirisena to Tamils.

OMG! coconut price is in a peak these days in SL, why these fundamental fools doing so? Oh god when will these fools understand the reality.pours gallons of fresh milk to that clay moulded statue called pillayar?
Numder one idiots.
What a waste of coconuts. Here we go again. Tamils are showing their level of there ignorance . The USA goverment is playing on the ignorance of Tamils. There is no god called Kandsamy . In fact there are no gods at all.
The UN supervised plebiscite on self determination will occur during HC’s 1st four year term similar to the East Timor freedom.
The only way to beat that would be to provide a federal state for the merged Northern and Eastern Provinces in the New Constitution.
Hope sanity prevails amongst the Yahapalanaists and the JO to agree with the Federal State.
Long Live Hillary.
Dear Ranjith,
Not only respect but accept you opinion too.
Of course, there’s no God called Kandasamy and maybe, there are no Gods at all. Nallur Temple may be an empty shell and so is the Dalada Maligawa.
But the word ‘GOD’ is a pseudonym for human ‘BELIEF’.
Tamils do believe that they are a Separate Nation within the Island and WE will pursue our belief’s to the end.
MR Thuleepan Somasundaram
You will be very disappointed. It is up to you to worship to thin air. Keep bashing coconuts rather than your empty heads.
Mr Thuleepan Somasundaram
Jaffna Tamils do not like Batticlo Tamils. Batticlo Tamils don’t like tea estate Tamils. Tea estate Tamils don’t like Tamil Nadu Tamils. Tamil Nadu Tamils don’t like Malaysian Tamils . Malaysian Tamils don’t like Singapore Tamils and Singapore Tamils don’t like Jaffna Tamiils.
Please get your act together Mr Somasundaram, No wonder you don’t have a state leader.
God bless you even there are no gods
Ranjith,
Thank you for your long list of unsubstantiated assumptions. What a waste of journalistic effort and space.
An Autonomous Tamil Region (ATR) in the merged North and Eastern Provinces will be an acceptable solution in the interim prior to achievement of the cherished long term goals of the residents of the 2 provinces.
A group of Sri Lankan Tamils in Jaffna will break over 1,000 coconuts and light as many candles to bless Hillary Clinton, saying the Democratic presidential candidate’s win would be important for the future of the minority community.
Now only thing they have to do is to bash there brain less heads on a hard rock. Never mind the world, even Kandsamy don’t like them.
With Trump’s resounding victory, the NEAR (North Eastern Autonomous Region) is nearing reality.
Shit, entirely waste breaking 1000 coconuts. Is it possible to refund the money? lol.Helpless Kandasamy , helpless clay worshippers. The same thing happening when each and every time sri ankan cricket team goes for a tour , they bind a string called pirith by these monks. oo gosh what are these , so you people are still believeing such idiotic things? How many matches they woouold have won by the power of these strings ” pirith” .
MR Thuleepan Somasundaram. Now go and bash your head on a hard rock.
The US Bureaucrats who cozied up with Yahapalana to drive the togetherness policy will now be eating dust.
The 1000 coconuts were to ensure an appropriate outcome for HC and that outcome has now manifested.
The power Kandaswami has spoken.
The false policy of ‘togetherness’ is no more. The NEAR (North Eastern Autonomous Region) is nearing reality under emerging global trends. The Trumpeteer might even propose a wall along the boundary of the NEAR; of course, the South will bear the cost of the wall.
