Therefore it is our duty to create an awareness about the depth of the situation. That is exactly what has been done by the programme Thawalam which was initiated by the Government. Now the situation is changing and more and more people see the validity of the devolution proposals. They have put up various posters throughout the country. But they must realise that they can no longer dupe the people.
People are more intelligent now.
They are trying to stir the emotion of the people to gain political advantage. When public administration was decentralised they went round the country saying that the country will get divided. Some say that there is no problem in the North to be solved. Then the Tamil people in the North did not know that they have been summoned to courts because the summons were sent in Sinhala. When they went to courts they were either convicted or fined.
