a civil

requests
their
brethren
in Sri

follow
its path
to
strengthen
the
hands of
President
Mahinda
Rajapaksa
to take
forward
the task
of not
only
defeating
terrorism
in the
North

to
strengthen
democracy
by
developing
the
Provinces
economically
and
socially
which
are
interconnected
with
peace
and
political
stability
in the
country.
The
most
recent
confirmation
of
support
came
from the
Executive
Committee
of
CatPad,
during
their
meeting
held on

democracy
in the
North

of Sri
Lanka.
"We
urge our
Tamils
in the
North
and
East, to
support
a
courageous
leader
who
stood up
for
democracy
for the
Tamils
and for
all Sri
Lankans",
the
