Why SF was not present? Now the time to forget the difference and unite for the sake of the country.

Roshanaly: SF is not a retired officer. He is now holding an active service rank. So is Shavendra Silva.

Not funny. On the day if the crisis the Prime Minister had trouble meeting them?

MR met with his former murders of innocent civilians. What's the difference between NTJ(National Thawheed Jamath) and these murders.

When these defence heads were there, LTTE terrorists bombed Central Bank, Dalada Maligawa and they even used air-raids. They are fraudsters.
