These victims are innocent as the angels, and it is not correct the Yahapalanya punished them. To rectify the error, statues should be erected for these fallen angels, and restore shining Halo behind their heads. May be they should be worshiped and a till-box kept next to them.

Clearing all the the thieves and victimization the people who can be a threat for Rajajapaksha clan in the future. Sadly that’s what happening in Banana Republic Sri Lanka!!!! Clearing Jaliya Wickrama...... who had embezzled $300.000 in the process of buying a property for SL Embassy in Washington DC. This uneducated Rajapaksha family close relative was charged and punished in USA! How could him be cleared? Just because of being a relative of Horus Rajapaksha family??????

Sri Lanka has the potential to be a prosperous and harmonious country. This will remain a dream while the existing political elites jostle for power and the people are presented with such a pitiful choice. Talentless, shameless and self-serving. All they have to offer is nepotism, thieving, incompetence and ethnic division whilst wrapping themselves in the flag and visiting temples.
