Opposition MP Dinesh Gunawardane yesterday told the government that it should not by any circumstance allow foreign security forces to enter this country at this moment.

He also urged the government to conduct an investigation into the issuance of Visas to thousands of foreigners under lax conditions.

He told parliament that investigations into the matter should be carried out immediately and said it was pointless asking the IGP to do so.

MP Gunawardane said the government failed to act on information given by the intelligent services and added that it could not get away from the responsibility by claiming that it was not aware of such an attack.

"Information was there on extremist groups since 2016. The Government was well aware of it. It cannot get away saying that it was not aware," he said.

He said if the government could not defeat this extremist terrorist groups, it should quit and hand over this country to someone who could do it.

He said the country could not be governed when there was a crisis between the President and the Prime Minister and stressed the need to pay way for a new government. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

I'm quite glad that we don't have oil. But wait aren't the yankees interested in our location?

America was quite pissed off that Chinese were having an upper hand in Sri Lanka. Hope this is not the start of a permanent American operation here.

Our visa laws are too lenient. They need to be strengthened. We shouldn't take measures to expand tourism at the cost of national defense.

The government prepared the ground for the US to enter Sri Lanka and start their target practice as they did in other countries like Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and so on.........

These lunatics are fishing in troubled waters for their political gain, pretending to be patriots. What a humbug.
