The thing is if we take India this kind of goods can we protest? never? Indian officials even stop and question Sarukkhan and famous people in Indian after paying necessary tax.
In SL there is a long standing problem. that these garments are brought by Indian poor people and handing over here for the last 25 years.
Therfore immediately cannot be stopped, further, custom on duty are supportive of this businessman and they pay less normal amount. outside., and many people depend on this.
It is brought daily and sometime colombo special group go and seize them, Now Ramadaan period, there fore, Businessmen got angry and protest

Ugly, pathetic, shameless. When we bring a piece of new cloth they question us in the harshest way possible.

48% of Sri Lankans are fools. They know nothing about economy or to anylise the situtation in Sri Lanka. They are prepared sell their valuable votes for packet of rice without knowing the consequences.

Our very own leather industry is suffering because of illegal shoe imports such as this. Behavior such as this is jeopardizing the jobs of 500+ employees as we too are looking at the cost benefit of importing vs manufacturing. If the government is serious about creating better manufacturing opportunities thus leading to greater exports, they will need to show some proper backbone with the customs department :(

How could you ever enforce law and order in a country and no wonder SL is going backwards.
