With the busy schedule our President is looking into other political issues too. Sir, may be the UPFA member would have created some problem too. Check on that.

`` yahapalanaya`` good governance as promissed to the people should not allow anyone to take the law on their hand.

Once Mervyn tied a man to a tree but when the investigations started the story was the victim tied himself to the tree and Mervin escaped scott free. I think this story will end up like that. The victim becomes the DOER.
