LOOKS LIKE ELEPHANTS ARE AFRAID OF LAND SLIDES......... THEY ARE VERY HEAVY AND COULD CREATE MORE LAND SLIDES AND TREMORS.

Right or Wrong, now the President is rising above all, sparing no time to arrive at the death bed of the victims of the landslide. It is more statesmanship and humanitary action to see the president at the sorrowful site. I salute the President Mahidha. Some may say it is for the sake of Presidential Election ahead.Even then, this heart throbbing incident no fool will think of election. Rahil himself has said that we shoujld forget political differences and help the sons and daughters of the soil.

Our President has always been so close to the people, that is why the Govt wins elections always, all vote for him and not for some hopeless MPs and Ministers, they ruin his reputation...We love our President and know that the country is absolutely safe with him. If not for him, not only we would have lost with tsunamis and Land slides, but the whole country would have been devastated by that Pirbakaran terrorist.

Leaders are very common to visit any tragedy in their own country.
