Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga has suspended parliament and sacked three senior ministers in a move she says is aimed at improving security.
A statement from her party expressed concern about Tamil Tiger proposals for a self-governing authority in the island's north-east.
Mrs Kumaratunga has long been at loggerheads with her government over the handling of the peace process with the Tigers. She says too many concessions have been made.
What do you think this means for the peace process in Sri Lanka?
The following comments reflect the balance of views we have received:
LTTE has given up the separate state solution wanted to have the political solution but majority of the Singala communist has proofed they do not wanted to settled the Tamils political rights, I appeal to the international community and the governments should pressure the Singala government .
ERIC JAY,CANADA
It was high time the president acted the way she did. Somebody must take some action against the people of this country becoming hostage to a group of ruthless terrorists. The tigers want to impose there regime on the north-eastern part of Sri Lanka. Where they will go from there is not certain. Whatever the injustices which the Tamil people suffered they must understand that by laying there future in the hands of the tigers will never give them true freedom. Bargaining with ruthless terrorists is not an option

Sri Lanka has begun her dramatic collapse in to a bottomless abyss with these new dramatic developments. Under the present government there was a faint glimmer of real hope for peace, but now it seems like a distant dream and to me many Sri Lankan will return to a living nightmare. Sadly this power hungry craze is endemic to all third worlds leaders who want to remain in power for as long as they can while plundering the country for their own gain.

It is a sad day for Sri Lanka. Once again politicians are putting their selfishness before the welfare of the people. The last two years have brought peace and prosperity to ordinary Sri Lankans of all walks of life particularly the poor. They can earn a living and move without standing in long queues to be searched etc. This is a legacy from JR Jayewardene - dividing the power between the Prime Minister and the President. Previously the President was a nominal figure. Who will suffer as a result of this new developments? The poor of course.

This clearly shows how the politicians of the majority of communities handle the ethnic war. When one comes forward the other rejects and vice versa. I appeal to the international community to see the real reason why the Tamils want a self determination. Can Tamils expect reasonable solutions from in this kind of politicians? This is more over justifying the Tamils struggle towards the separate nation. To improve the current situation an international pressure should be used on the President and her party to carry on the peace negotiation.
Rajendran, Sri Lanka
Mrs. Kumaratunga has once again demonstrated her inability to deal with Sri Lanka's political and economic issues in a constructive manner. This irresponsible move on her part, motivated purely by her need for political power, is typical of the leadership her family has provided the country since independence. Selfish political gain rather than a determination to solve problems has characterized their political tenure.

It shows how desperate the president is to get back in to power. As far as the security is concerned there is no imminent threat from the LTTE or anyone else. LTTE's proposals on Interim Administration are yet to discussed and agreed. President is prepared to use any measure, how undemocratic it may be, to oust the elected government and no concern whatsoever about the people or the country.

I fully back Tamil tiger proposals. They now have given up the separate state solution as the international countries wanted. Now the foreign countries should back Tigers and let the Tamils to run their affairs. The Sri Lankan is incapable of running the country and they are corrupt. The sacking of the minister shows how the Sri Lankan democracy works.

A surprising move indeed! I doubt if any commentator would have thought that the Singhalese president would have the audacity to take a decision that so transparently betrays its anti-Tamil agenda. The dark history of Sri Lanka seems to repeat itself, where once again, the well received Tamil steps towards peace, are likely to be side-stepped and overpowered through this crisis.
