A Sinhalese youth said that they showed LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran as our enemy on television.
Last Friday early morning, there was a brutal attack on the Khali mask protesters.
In this case, a Sinhalese youth has released a video and expressed his apprehension about it.
in it,
We have a suspicion that the people in the north will be attacked in this way. In this place (Presidential Secretariat) there were ordinary, peaceful people.
If they attacked the peaceful people here, how would this Rajapaksa government have treated the people of the North and East. Because of this, it is not fair that the people of the North and East are angry with us.
While attacking in the north and east, we were here celebrating the victory of the war. We were shown on television that Prabhakaran was the enemy and won the war.
They said that people’s fundamental rights were violated and common people were attacked in the north and east. How can we now believe that you (soldiers) will not attack like this.
The army and tri-forces also came and badly attacked the common people here (Presidential Secretariat). North and East were divided into LTTE and LTTE. What are you going to say now? He mentioned that be prepared for now.

The political games taking place in South Sri Lanka have left the Sinhalese in a state of shock and positive attitudes towards the Tamils have also started to emerge.
Yesterday’s naval frenzy at Kalimugat was something that the Sinhalese never expected. The people there were brutally attacked by the marines and many were arrested.
Marines are awesome
The information released by Dylan Senanayake, one of the coordinators of the eviction demonstrations based on such an attack, has made Sinhalese think.
Commenting on social media from the protest site, he said, “If they are attacking us so badly, how could the army have attacked the Tamils.
We celebrated war while people died in war. If that is the case then how could we have been fooled and singled out Tamils as tigers. They made us angry with Prabhakaran by what was shown on television.
The army is oppressing the Tamils
We also dismissed them as LTTE and terrorists. If that is the case then there is justification in the anger of the Tamils towards the Sinhalese people. He mentioned that the operation of the army is in such a state.
A large number of Sinhalese have released their responses to accept Dylan’s video. It is noteworthy that many human rights organizations, including the UN, have condemned the military’s attack on Khali.
