Sri Lanka's mixed group of opposition parties supported Gen Fonseka should decide how to fight this campaign or to stay together



Sri Lanka's recently re-elected President Mahinda Rajapaksa dissolved parliament to hold elections.

The date will most likely be 8 April, with parliament convening on 22 April.

The mixed group of opposition parties which supported Gen Fonseka have yet to decide how to fight this campaign and whether to stay together. 

The BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo says President Rajapaksa is hoping to increase the narrow majority of seats held in parliament by his Freedom Alliance.

benaloy says,  between the two major parties of majority race,  both minority groups could swing the result.   Will they ?

Gen Sarath Fonseka suffered injuries at an assassination attempt by LTTE and gets national credit for defeating the ruthless group.
But he is definitely not a charismatic leader of people.  

The leader of TNA,  Sampanthan, and his comrades in Parliament were quick to condemn an Army atrocity but never had the guts to point out violence by LTTE. 

Thus they lost the credibility among the majority earned by SJV Chelvanayagam of whom it was said,  ''an honest politician'' even though his party was ''Federal'' in English and ''தமிழ் அரசு'' meaning,  ''Tamil Governance'',  a subtle deception !

Muslims of Lanka have yet to combine and select a leader of foresight and NOT of myopic view.

So long as we do not admit our faults we will never correct our selves and achieve greatness.  

We must cast aside the oldies and select stout hearted youngsters who hands are NOT tainted by blood of anyone,  anyone at all !

We must be wary of the gun carrying lot who are actually selfish bastards !!!
