The JRJ-Amir relationship
Neither JRJ nor Amir trusted the other. That was why I
had to come form Canada to bridge the gap. Amir said JRJ
was "deceitful". His parliamentary group went
even farther, S. Kathiravetpillai, TULF MP for Kopay told
me over and over again that ere long militant Tamil youth
will overtake their movement. He was unhappy with the DDC
scheme but said that "for party unity" he would
vote for it.
The myth of PA's achievements
of the development of Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte as the
country's administrative capital and Colombo as the
commercial centre( some parts of which incidentally now
resemble a city under seige) or the extent of road
development undertaken during UNP's seventeen years as
compared to P.A.'s four years.
