To the peace loving people of Lanka
it is a great victory for the peace loving people of lanka. those against peace movements(JVP,JHU) has been kicked out by the people. EPDP got thrashed away in the eastern province. TNA won in all tamil populated areas with more than 90% of votes. remember these areas are controlled by government soldiers. so people want peace. tey have given the mandate to MR and VP. government should ignore JVP and talk true peace , rather than telling different stories in different places. tehy should not worry about JVP.
