The Sigiriya Museum has been named the most attractive in South Asia by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama said today.

We had a wonderful Library in Jaffna with original manuscripts written by leading Tamil leaders, which were burned down by terrorists in Sri Lanka. We need to eliminate terrorists in Sri Lanka.

I dodnt understand why ppl find fault with Bogoll. He is a smart man and just using the opportunities available to him. All other ministers and family members of a VIP family do that. Im sick of seeing ppl blaming Bogoll only

Mr.Minister, you are usually good at quoting what others say, especially to hit the news you generally do that. Have you been to Sigiriya lately? The toilet facilities are horrible, after charging big amounts in $$, authorities don't provide the basic needs, especially to foreign tourists. So before you quote some foreigners remarks, go to "sigiriya" by yourself, without spending poor tax payers money trotting the world for nothing!
