Dear Sir Are you all joking or serious. Please find who gave the T.56. Are we all Sri-Lankans are menally retarded?

Maybe the DIG is right, after all. I wonder whether the Cop who killed a so called mentally retarded man by forcing him to drown in the sea at Bambalapitiya was also a "mentally retarded" cop. Anyway, by now it is apparent that all those who voted for this government are really "mentally retarded" people.

If the person is retarded please produce a complete report from the ANGODA hospital for public information
