This is a good idea from the goverment. If we can save Colombo and most of the southern parts from LTTE infiltration by even stopping innocent Tamils from coming to Colombo, then this is a great opportunity for the young Tamils to join the LTTE and fight against supresive government. Agin, this is for the IC and the moderate Tamils who think that Tamils have no problem, well think again you modyas. We are treated like a second class citizens and that's why we took up arms and we will anihilate the Sinagala goons.
