All Karuna left for east was 46,000 widows -Pillayan

(October 21, Batticaloa, Sri Lanka Guardian) Shivanesathurai Chandrakanthan, Chief Minister of the Eastern Province, addressing a function in Batticaloa recently, said that Karuna lied all along and all he left for the Eastern Province was 46.000 widows. “We could be scared of Karuna now. He is a person who had been with arms and weapons for ever. Even today, he makes threats brandishing weapons. Or he threatens over the phone.

“He has criticised the provincial councils. He is in no position to do that for he knows nothing about the 13th Amendment.

“If he needs something from someone, then he praises that person. What did he say five years ago? He said that this is our leader. Hand over your children to us and we will give you a Tamil Eelam and also give you development.

“But what happened? What did all that leave for the Eastern Province, only 46,000 widows.

“He lied in the past with Prabhakaran. When he split up with Prabhakaran, he lied once again and headed towards destruction.

“There is now a peaceful environment emcerging in the Aeast. We have the provincial council and the TMVP for this. In a bid to destroy this set up, we are being asked to convert to blue,” said Pilleyan.
