• Sumanthiran has also emerged as the moderate voice of post-war Tamil polity and society
• Rehabilitated cadres may have been trained and are skilled in trades, but did not have a job or any other source of income
• Definitely LTTE re-grouping of the terrorist-kind was/is a real possibility
• The TNA walked the extra-distance to make the new Constitution happen, first by backing the candidacy of Maithripala Sirisena

M. A. Sumanthiran, Mangala Samaraweera, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Sarath Fonseka

Going beyond or, ahead of what the religious-right Jathika Hela Uramaya (JHU) may have to say on the subject, the reported arrest of four ex-LTTErs for allegedly conspiring to target Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarian, M. A. Sumanthiran, needs to be squarely condemned. If it’s any indicative of any return to the old, forgotten ways, it needs to be pursued with the same vigour that made the military defeat of the dreaded terrorist organisation possible.
