For generations to come Sri Lanka's won't trust the cock talk by India and their representatives. We have been burnt many a time by India. They (India) supported the separatist movement in Sri Lanka and other than the our Politicians they are responsible for the damage done to SL, this was done just so they could have a grip and be the influence in the Indian ocean, they need to wake up and smell the Chinese food cooking around them. We should only continue diplomatic relations with caution.
