If the news report below is TRUE, and the TNA has accepted the 6th Amendment to the Constitution affirming that Sri Lanka is a UNITARY state, that INDEED is a major turnaround in the TNA's position.
However, Sri Lanka should not trust the TNA which was calling for a separatist state of Eelam in cahoots with Tamil Nadu politicians YESTERDAY, just because they have reversed their position TODAY, because they can just as well return to their separatism TOMORROW!
This acceptance, offered as a way to avoid being found guilty in the lawsuit before the Supreme Court, could very well be another calculated ploy to gain the separatist powers they failed to get by CONFRONTATION & BLACKMAIL!
NEVER TRUST THESE LYING TRAITORS as far as you can throw a Grand Piano!
In addition, they MUST STILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, PROSECUTED & PUNISHED for their TREASONOUS ACTIVITIES over the past 30 years ... INDIVIDUALLY & COLLECTIVELY as political parties, including the recent call for a SEPARATIST STATE in TNA's Election Manifesto, and affirmed by the current Chief Minister of the Northern Province.
The TNA is not saying so now because they really believe it, but because they see that the majority of Sri Lankans are FIRMLY RESOLVED to OPPOSE THEM .... COME WHAT MAY from their barking Diaspora dogs, their NGO puppets, and their Western Neo-Colonial masters plying their own geopolitical agendas.
So, what should we Patriotic Sri Lankans do in response to this new turn of events?
Ask them to go the EXTRA MILE, and seamlessly integrate into the greater Sri Lankan Society, GIVING UP their
1. Separatist Communal party names, party constitutions and party platforms,
2. "Thesawalamai" and other Community Laws and customs that exclude Sinhala amd Muslim citizens from Tamil majority regions,
3. demands for SHARING POWER based upon Tamil ethnicity. Embrace Sri Lankan citizenship as the ONLY BASIS for rights in Sri Lanka, for communal considerations should NEVER BE a basis for Governance,
4. demands for any right not equally available to other Sri Lankan citizens,
5. opposition to other communities settling and living among them in Tamil majority areas, and INVITING and ENABLING other communities to do so just as they live among Sinhala people in the South,
5. conniving with Tamil Nadu to create a Greater Tamil Nadu incorporating Sri Lankan territories, and
6. conniving with the Racist Separatists of the Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora in their quest to create an Eelam in Sri Lanka, and with Western Neo-Colonialists attempting to undermine and destabilize Sri Lanka for their own gain.
These are among the main ADDITIONAL things the Sri Lankan Tamil Community, and the TNA in particular, should do to REGAIN the TRUST of the MAJORITY of Sri Lankans and be ACCEPTED again as Law-Abiding Patriotic Citizens of Sri Lanka.
They should be aware that THEY WILL NOT REGAIN THE TRUST THEY LOST OVERNIGHT; it will take perhaps another 30 years of Good Sri Lankan Citizenship for that to happen.
The SECURITY & INTEGRITY of the Motherland is not something we can entrust Today to the SEPARATISTS of Yesterday, but they should GRASP the hand of FRIENDSHIP that the Sinhala people WERE ALWAYS EXTENDING TO THEM and WORK ASSIDUOUSLY to reintegrate themselves into the social fabric of Sri Lanka. That includes suppressing ALL THOSE DISRUPTIVE elements within your community, within Sri Lanka or abroad in the Diaspora, who attempt to REVIVE separatism.
Do it willingly and voluntarily now, or be marginalized forever as Sri Lanka forges ahead without you, leaving your community only the option of leaving Sri Lanka for good.

Major Tamil party agrees to accept a unitary state in Sri Lanka
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
July 16, 2014, Colombo:
Sri Lanka's main Tamil political party, Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has agreed to denounce separatism and accept a united Sri Lanka for all communities.
The TNA on Tuesday agreed to submit an affidavit to the Supreme Court, stating that Sri Lanka is a unitary State.
Lawyers appearing for the Secretary of TNA and its main constituent Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK), parliamentarian Mavai Senathirajah and Leader of TNA R. Sampanthan on Tuesday (15) agreed to submit the affidavit to the Supreme Court that Sri Lanka is a unitary state when six petitions filed by representatives of Sinhala majority nationalist organizations were taken for hearing.
The six petitions filed in the apex court alleged that the political objective of the TNA is to form a separate government in Sri Lanka.
The petitioners, Galage Don Punyawardana, Gunadasa Amarasekera, U. Abeykoon, Ven. Bengamuwe Nalaka Thera, U.K. Anura and Ravi Kumar alleged that the main Tamil party campaigned for a separate state in the North and East during the Northern Provincial Council elections held in September 2013.
The petition claimed that the ITAK and TNA distributed election manifestos among voters in the North indicating that they are planning to form a separate state in Sri Lanka.
Petitioner has further cited in the petition that the manifesto is in line with the hidden agenda of the defeated Tamil terrorist organization LTTE.
In its election manifesto, the TNA, once considered as a proxy for the terrorist group LTTE during the war, has called for establishing power sharing arrangements in a unit of a merged Northern and Eastern Provinces based on a Federal structure.
The petitioners also claimed that the TNA manifesto violates the sixth amendment of the Sri Lankan Constitution which says that no political party or other association or organization shall have as one of its aims or objects the establishment of a separate State within the territory of Sri Lanka.
Under the Constitution, the Supreme Court has power to proscribe any political party or other association or organization found guilty of having the objective to establish a separate State within the territory of Sri Lanka.
TNA leaders have vehemently rejected the allegation that its election manifesto demanded a separate state of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka.
A three-member Bench comprising Chief Justice Mohan Peiris, Justices Rohini Marasinghe and Priyantha Jayawardana heard the petitions.
Counsels appearing for the respondents told the court that the two parties are for a unitary state in Sri Lanka and there was no intention to form a separate state. The petitioner's counsels said the agreement must be submitted to the court as an affidavit and the respondents' counsels agreed.
The Court postponed the case till 22 September.
