"When Gotabhaya makes the country ... North - East people will realise -- Karuna Amman

"Mr. Gotabhaya won because of votes of Sinhala people. A few Tamils also voted Mr. Gotabhaya. Now everybody's mentality is okay", Former deputy minister and leader of Tamil National Freedom Alliance Vinayagar Muralitharan alias Mr. Karuna Amman has told a newspaper yesterday (22). He has also stated that he is very happy about a leader who can do something for the country being
elected. Mr. Karuna Amman who spoke further on this occasion said as follows:

"I went from village to village and made Tamil and Muslim folk understand matters and that was to vote for Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. But a majority of them cast their vote to Mr. Sajith. A small minority of the Tamil community voted for Mr. Gotabhaya. I offer my tribute particularly to people of Batticaloa and Mullaitivu. Though was a participant of Mr. Gotabhaya's victory, the Muslim community did not give support to Mr. Gotabhaya in the least. They made a big mistake. 

Now in any case Mr. Gotabhaya will make the whole country. Then people in the North - East will understand who actually is working for the country. If I too happen to get a ministerial post, I will go ahead in building up houses with president Gotabhaya Rajapaksa  for the Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim communities who are without a proper place to live. At the same time steps will be taken to change all attitudes of the people. 

Heroin and liquor will be controlled. In the same way, a control would be brought upon underground gangs, 'kappam' gangs and criminals. During the past regime, this trend of crime increased in the North. The people lived with such fear.
