As ASI Reports that it is a MYTH. I agree, but every one should well unerstand the meaning of MYTH. Without having myth, progress is not possible. Myth begins to creap a picture in human's brain, and this picture, turns into a dream, and dream makes it possible for human being to draw/keep the dream on paper/memory. Thus, some intellectuals, starts to give a practical shape to their dream(s).
So, I would call upon rigid people not make this a issue of politics and if its removal is in the interest of the nation, let the govt. do its job, and if the govt. thinks that it may cause another passage for LTTE, then govt. should immediately stop working on this project.
