Mind it the US government, there is no human rights violation in Sri Lanka to talk about Human Rights but the very US government itself breached many human rights in various countries.

US is the one preaching human rights and democracy. At the same time, its associations with some leaders around the world contradicts that claim.

Mr president Don't fall for this woman's tricks. Give them a wide berth. Save the country first from these snakes. See what they have done to Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan etc. Dont fall in a pit with eyes open.

I am sure we were more democratic than the Amarican 2016 election.

Anyone who understands the diplomatic phrases, realizes that this is a harsh warning to the Rajapaksa clan to strictly adhere to the listed points.
