Are you claiming that all Tamils are criminals?<br /><br />Here's a better question. How did Patrick Ratnaraja come to the position of 'community leader'? Was he elected? If not, how else did he claim that mantle and why are the police apparently accepting this at face value?<br /><br />Think about that and come back when you've got some politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-87047006451556604452011-05-18T14:25:16.235+01:002011-05-18T14:25:16.235+01:00Between Tamil gangs ?
