You can only say that to people in your Polonaruwa. Everyone else know there is no such a thing as E chair.

Why you want to save a person from his crime? Are you part of that crime too?

raj Sunday, 14 February 2016 07:19 AM

if MR did not commit any war crimes, there is no need to save MR from electric chair.

You too are an accomplice to the same chair. How can you distance yourself from Mahinda?
