Part I

(October 12, 2014, London UK, Sri Lanka Guardian) The presidential elections provide a golden opportunity to put forward a program that could reach all the people of Sri Lanka and the Tamil side has not utilized this opportunity in the past to tell the Sinhalese people their position on the ethnic issue. It gives agolden opportunity to tell the Sinhalese people s to what is the Tamil aspiration and explain them the settlement we seek and how it will lead to a peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka. It is not necessary that Tamil people should support a Sinhalese candidate just because a Tamil cannot win. It provides the opportunity to demonstrate that Sri Lanka is a nation of divided sovereignty and seek a solution that accommodates this reality.
