Hip hop sensation and British songster M.I.A’s father, Arular Arudpragasam, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror expressed his interest to offer his services as an independent mediator of the ethnic conflict to the government.



Speaking, while in Sri Lanka on a visit, Arudpragasam, said that his 30 years’ experience in Sri Lanka’s conflict, would be the primary reason for his inclination. “Even though, right now, the government through its military strength, is thinking we are going to finish this war and attain peace, I feel that peace may be even further away with the current approach,” said the one-time military mentor of the LTTE, referring to the present arena in the North-East.

No he wasn't dead :)

He was living freely in the land of terrorist supporters (UK)

But he has finally come to his senses I guess.

Yes, he will be a good mediator for the conflict.
But i doubt the 'independence' of it :rofl:

EDIT:

The interview is interesting though.

"
Prabha misled
When asked about the countless number of lives which have been lost due to the atrocities of war waged by the LTTE, he said that, his own vision for the LTTE when it was originated was not in harmony with such catastrophe. “Although Prabhakaran was under my spell earlier on, subsequently, he came under so many other forces, inclusive of Anton Balasingham, which took him in the wrong direction; however I always believed, if an appealing solution was brought forth by the government, I could convince Prabha and make him accept the solution and end the war but unfortunately, such a solution never came.”

    M.I.A wishes to tour Sri Lanka

    Stating that he hopes to visit his daughter, M.I.A, now that she has delivered her baby, he went on to say that he doesn’t need to encourage her to travel to Sri Lanka. “She is quite interested in coming to Sri Lanka and India but her programmes are bound by long term contracts with record companies.” However, the father is sure she will work out some thing although he also feels that the return of peace may be a condition for her. “If on the other hand, I am going to mediate the conflict and her coming can contribute to peace, then I will make a request.”
