Incorrect headlines. Returning Sri Lankans are not considered as foreigners. The shameless daily mirror which funds by Basil's black money have recruited English writers from Mattala? What a shame.

What else can the man say if there is a general with his gun drawn behind him?

When you look at your face we can see that your telling the people only what the leaders wants to hear.
