yup, one more step towards military rule. Enjoy Sri Lankans! lets see how public order will contribute to so called development. I bet that will be the licence to enslave people for whims and fancies of Americans and Chinese, aided and abetted by your own leaders. good luck Sri Lanka. Den Sapada? Dan saneepada?
