This affidavit by the ruling Tamil alliance affirming its faith in united Sri Lanka,at face value, affirms that the Tamil separatist movement in Lanka is getting a short shrift and is being buried for good! An equivalent would be the DMK giving up a call for separate Dravida Nadu in 1962
Will it change the contours of Tamil politicians in TN whose umbilical cord lies in the North of Sri Lanka!

Colombo, 16 July, (Asiantribune.com):
The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) agreed to submit an affidavit before the Supreme Court swearing its acceptance of an undivided Sri Lanka.
This was agreed yesterday by President's Counsel K. Kangaeshwaran appearing for the TNA in a case concerning seven petitions filed before the Supreme Court to annul the results of the Northern Provincial Council election due to the TNA Party Constitution and election manifesto containing references to a separate state.
The Bench comprised Chief Justice Mohan Peiris PC and Justices Rohini Marasinghe and Priyantha Jayawardena. The Chief Justice said that all citizens should express their allegiance to a single Constitution and those coming before court, be they Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim, will be treated equally sans religious, racial or other differences.
The petitioners are Ven. Bengamuwe Nalaka Thera, Dr. Gunadasa Amarasekera, Gallege Punyawardena, U.A. Abeykoon, Ravi Kumara, Unawatune Amarasiri and H.K.D. Chandrasoma.
They have cited TNA General Secretary and ITAK leader Mavai Senathiraja, TNA leader R. Sambandan, Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya and the Attorney General as the respondents.
The petitioners also wanted the Court to declare that the ITAK was a political party that had as its chief aim the establishment of a separate state in Sri Lanka.
Attorneys- at- Law Kanishka Vitharana, Palitha Gamage and Kapila Gamage appeared for the petitioners while Deputy Solicitor General Nerin Pulle represented the Attorney General.
Further hearings were put off for July 28.
