That means she would come to please the diaspora Tamils?

ind Wednesday, 29 January 2014 08:21 AM

Indian background and American Citizen. Not matching things good for us.

sach Wednesday, 29 January 2014 08:33 AM

No one says SL gov is honest and good to its people. But the pro ltte nature of west is widely displayed.

Grace Wednesday, 29 January 2014 09:37 AM

She is an Indian origin. Already Tamil diaspora would have greased her palm. We can predict the outcome of her visit.

kumar Wednesday, 29 January 2014 09:51 AM

Shall we ask one chinese American to visit then?

kumar Wednesday, 29 January 2014 09:53 AM

What an excuse?

Suq Madique Wednesday, 29 January 2014 09:57 AM

All who are impartial would be really honored on earth .If any war crimes were by mistake committed lets face it for the sake of the country and teach a lesson or two to the west and the world at large.

ajantha Wednesday, 29 January 2014 08:20 AM

Good move by USA. Welcome to Sri lanka. hope she will meet TNA and NPC members.

Sanduni Wednesday, 29 January 2014 11:08 AM

Sri Lankans know how unbiased Pillai conducted meetings with exclusively selected people and the sudden change of attitude of TNA leadership and making racist remarks during her presence in Sri Lanka!

Sanduni Wednesday, 29 January 2014 11:16 AM

This province was far more worse than the 8 other provinces prior to May 2009!

Vic Wednesday, 29 January 2014 01:12 PM

You are welcome madam, please do thorough investigation and act on your findings and Thank you for your interest and assistance.

Seelawathie Thursday, 30 January 2014 12:22 AM

She should first visit India and look at the way the untouchables (Daliths) are treated. Once that is sorted out, she can come to SL and lecture us.

ranjith seneviratne Thursday, 30 January 2014 02:28 AM

PAY for the crimes RAJA! Why worry fave the Lady! Scared?

Karigalan Thursday, 30 January 2014 05:33 AM

Putar Putar Wednesday, 29 January 2014 06:06 AM

Writing is on the wall

drama Wednesday, 29 January 2014 02:50 AM

there are 8 other provinces. check them too.

Lokka Wednesday, 29 January 2014 03:42 AM

Nisha Biswal, pl be with an open mind. Do not meet only the TNA and take there word as Gospel truth. Meet other sections of the country too, and specially the families of those 600 odd Policemen killed in cold blood by Prabhakaran.

perricie Koopa Wednesday, 29 January 2014 04:21 AM

this is an indian so we can not trust

an s !!!kith udugama Wednesday, 29 January 2014 04:33 AM

Let's start with a body and cavity search at the Airport like what they did to the Indian Diplomat Devyani

Huxley Wednesday, 29 January 2014 04:38 AM

WHY NOT EASTERN PROVINCE?WHAT ABOUT THE MUSLIM NATIONAL AFFECTED BY LTTE?????

ANTON Wednesday, 29 January 2014 04:52 AM

PLEASE BRING THE DETAILS OF CASUALTIES OF VIETNAM, AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ , WITHOUT FAIL WHEN YOU COME TO SRILANKA.

Sanath Wednesday, 29 January 2014 05:56 AM

We got to be carefull from these Indian -Americal persanalities..! She was in Bangladesh few weeks
back what she did ? Just spying and leaving for more chaos..!! In a way Rajapaksha regim could handle
them.

Shandy Wednesday, 29 January 2014 06:04 AM

She will add up to the tourist numbers other that that her visit has no value to us.

Suq Madique Wednesday, 29 January 2014 02:37 AM

Hope its a genuine visit and not with pre-conceived notions like all the others.

Malin Wednesday, 29 January 2014 06:10 AM

Hope she is not another Navi Pillay.

Lobo Wednesday, 29 January 2014 06:16 AM

Considering her Indian background the outcome is a foreground conclusion

lIRF Wednesday, 29 January 2014 06:49 AM

She will also be branded and made unpopular like Navy Pillai

Concerned citizen Wednesday, 29 January 2014 06:55 AM

Wow! Now the time is right to put up a stage in Kollupitiya for a fast-un-to death with biscuits and thambili hidden under it!

machchaan Wednesday, 29 January 2014 07:02 AM

Please machchaan why do you always have this pre-conceived notion that all foreigners are anti-Sri Lanka? Don't blindly accept Sri Lankan Govt is honest and good to all its people.

JANE Wednesday, 29 January 2014 07:55 AM

hi drama your 8 other provinces have problems of thefts, loots, tuggerism, rowdism, rape casea, political anachry etc etc etc which need remedies from govt. law and order !

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 29 January 2014 08:05 AM

Of course she is of that integrity, do you want her to bcome a laundry fellow like Mervyn?

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 29 January 2014 08:07 AM

If she says that GOSL is correct and serve chocolate cake for all the criminality they have done to the tamils, then she will be a hero...correct?
