[TamilNet, Monday, 18 February 2008, 14:50 GMT]
2007 US Freedom Defender’s Award Winner and Totally 100% Non-Terrorist Supporter, Mano Ganeshanwad was recently accused by the Sri Lankan defence secretaryGotabaya Rajapakse, of being a "terrorist". TamilNet sits down with MP Mano Ganeshan, the leader of the Western People’s Front which is a Colombo based Tamil Sri Lankan Political Party.
He has been forced to flee the country as he has become the target of GoSL assignation squads due to having his personal Security Detail reduced (an obvious attempt to Expose his life to danger by the Sinhala Racist GoSL). He outlines why he is being accused of being a Traitor and a LTTE supporter

TNet: So Mr. Ganeshan can you please explain the situation you are in with the SL Government
accusing you of supporting the Tigers in their completely justified and legitimate right to kill Sinhalas from the Traditional Tamil homelands of Eelam.
Mano: Recent allegations made by Tamil-Hating, Megalomaniacal, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse about me and my LTTE ties are a complete falsehood. I have no Association whatsoever with the Freedom Fighters of the Tamil people. I am an independent who is a staunch supporter of Tamil Rights. At no time have I ever been associated with the LTTE, I don’t support their cause whatso,..eeer what? Why am I sweating you ask? Well it is hot you know.. why? Do I look nervous to you ? I didn’t say that…! Did I say I was nervous? What? Why do you ask? What are you implying? What’s wrong with me smoking a cigarette, I just started today,… no of course I’m not nervous, I just love the taste of tobacco, I saw an add on TV for John Player and after 30 years I thought why not? Why? Don’t be silly I have nothing to hide…boy its hot in here! Can you turn on the Fan,…what its on? Oh, then turn it up higher! Put the AC on… damn this heat! My collar gets tight around my neck,…now what were you saying?

TNet: They have published these photos taken of you with Hon. V. Pirapaharan and the the Late Brigadier S.P. Thamilchelvan.
Mano: That’s not me, those pictures are obviously fakes! That person is an imposter and that Fat Dark Santa-Clause looking guy sitting next to me is not Dr. Kumaraguruparan, my Deputy leader, either… both those are fakes, we have never met the LTTE, I have never traveled North! Wow! Its hot in here…! Can someone get me a cool wet towel, and TURN that AC ON! Where are my cigarettes!? Why? Why do you ask? I told you I’m not nervous,..do I look nervous? Why do you say that? I’m totally calm…. No, my hands only shake when I don’t have cigarettes…. WHERE ARE MY CIGARRETTES!?
TNet: Is this a bad time for you honorable MP, Shall we come back later?
Mano: Why do you think this is a bad time? Did I say that? Why do I look like I’m in a Panic? What makes you think that, I didn’t say that, you did, didn’t you? Oh no? then ,…STOP CALLING ME PARANOID! What? Wait… I did not mean that? Damn Cigarettes! They stuff too many in one pack you can’t get them out when you need them! FOR FUCK SAKE someone please TURN THAT GODDAMN AIR CONDITIONER ON!, I’m sweating bullets here!
TNet: Err, We better go, we have a 12am deadline to catch on this story…
Mano: As you wish! I hope I have been helpful.
TNet: Thank you for your time Honorable MP.
Mano: You’re welcome.
