I'm a steady supporter of NPP. I think that even if AKD is the President, we will have no choice but to go to the IMF. That's because of the mess made by the Rajapaksas and Ranil.

Let's not over-exploit the temporary advantage that we have at this moment.

Of course we must protest, and correct him. However, unless our response is more balanced and sane than his gaffe, we may just make unnecessary enemies.

However, in this instance, it is a welcome move. I do not know about legal justifications, but what has been happening in Male during the past week is so outrageous that somebody has to step in and cry halt. India has been dragging her feet; I am so proud of President Maithripala Sirisena for the action that he has taken. Honest man that he is, he has had the courage to act.
Thank you on behalf of all of us Sri Lankans who have so much in common with the Dhivehi Raj!

The problem with what the improved MIA says is that she doesn't seem to take account of the fact that “we” have to contend with an electorate which is overwhelmingly Sinhalese. We used to see this creature screaming hatred towards all Sinhalese; her performance here is much more rational.
Now, could somebody please suggest a feasible way forward? Maithripala Sirisena is emphatically not the same as Mahinda Rajapaksa. Tamils must try to understand him, and the task that he has before him. We must necessarily have parliamentary elections, and I tell the Tamils that nobody who wants to win an election in Sri Lanka can do so unless he/she is willing to shield the alleged perpetrators of war crimes from trial at The Hague. I think we (we all share a common identity as human beings, which is why the interviewer - Jonathan Miller, isn't it? - shows concern for what MIA is saying) have to now formulate a modus vivendi which will allow voices of reason to prevail.
Among the Channel 4 comments is one by Arya Nayagam which I found extremely disturbing. I've "researched it" on the web, and I've found this:

I'm still worried There are other Sinhalese who have done much more than I would dare. Please see this YouTube clip.

Well, we all have to die once, and only once! However, the bottom line is this: MIA has spoken rationally in this clip. Even more rationality is needed to help us build a better Sri Lanka, and a better world!
