LTTE Supremo Prbhakaran is reported to have injured in the air raids carried out SAF. Its real or fake still unclear. The LTTE is known to keep its leader away from the haunting eyes of the SAF. But then if what is told is correct, then its a real and serious set back to the LTTE. In the final analysis, LTTE's remaining cadre should immediately agree for a ceasefire and come to negotiation table to sort out their age old problem. India should help them to talk to Srilankans as they are out to eliminate them physically. Whether it would be possible to put an end to the age-old ethnic problem by killing its leader, is too early to say. But then, the Tigers are known to spring surprises. They are a well trained outfit and they have overcome such setbacks in the past and they are sure to spring back to life. What is a worrying fact is the suffering the Tamils are undergoing due to the Sinhalese brutality. Its time for the majority Sinhalese to recognise the rights of the Tamils within the frame work of the constitution and make them equal partners in the country. Their status today is that of a second class citizens, it should be removed immediately. The best thing the Government would be doing is giving a fair amount of representation to the Tamils in Legislature, Government and employment besides taking care of their educational needs. No discrimination on the basis of religion or language. Any attempt to bring them to national mainstream is a welcome one considering the plight
