One can be like Vai KO and go to Jail, with nothing being achieved on behalf of the subjects being fought for, and if, as one hopes he would, MK lays low now and pushes through the Eelam Tamil agenda when he has more leverage, that works fine, too. The question is whether he already has that leverage and is refusing to use it. That is where his ability to hold the Centre to ransom for ministerial births spoils the picture. adhai paNnum bodhu idhai paNNa mudiyAdhA?
