Nadeehsa is one of my favorite actresses but I had wished she would not get onto the 'dirty' stage-wishful thinking!

When the other party avoided humiliation of being labelled a bankrupt party, the UNP decided against the intelligent voters, how sad! What the UNP needs is a bunch of educated not a film crew to re.group and win elections.
