Agriculture Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said today the country had to face various issues under the previous regime because of its hostile attitude towards India.
He told Parliament that India, which initially supported our country at the UNHRC in matters of human rights violations, later acted against us because of the then government's attitude.
"We made enemies with India. It was a serious mistake made by the previous government. India helped us during the war and at the UNHRC. But it acted against us later because of our policies. As a result, we had to face serious issues such as the ban on fish exports. During the debate on the 1990 Suwaseriya Foundation Bill, India supported us. It funded housing projects in the North and the South. It provided equipment for the Hambantota Hospital and constructed a school in Polonnaruwa. People are reaping the benefits of the Suwaseriya ambulance service donated by India despite various allegations made by the opposition and several others," the minister said.

This government is installed by India and no wonder the Minister loves India.

When we want help we go with a begging bowl to Western world. If they open their doors we all want to abandon our motherland and want to go and settle down there. We want our children to be educated and get a job there. However we like to criticise them if they say a word against us.

dont you realize that we have a begging bowl in our hands exactly because of your mentality?
