Will Tamils Be Taken For A Disposable Napkin Again?
| by Thomas Raj Johnpulle
( January 15, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Minorities turned tables at the 2015 Presidential Election which is the first time it happened. At all previous presidential elections, the will of the majority of Sinhalese prevailed. Not this time. Former President Mahinda won in areas outside the north, east, upcountry and the Colombo City but President Maithripala won in these areas (despite losing in Sinhala majority areas). Tamils and Muslims have become kingmakers.
