The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna's destruction of public property during the late 1980s had cost the country a staggering Rs.55 billion at today's valuation, an official said.
Prime Minister's senior adivser on Economic Affairs, Ajith Nivard Cabral said such destruction included 682 Post Offices, 13 Telecom Centres, 550 SLTB buses, 15 bus depots, 210 government offices, 12 trains, eight railway stations, 130 CEB Transformers, 75 tea factories, and 40 estate bungalows.
He said this in a note to the media.

Mr. Kabral, we are not interested in stories which happened a generation back (50 years ago). We are now in 2020. People who did those damages are dead and gone. I am sure if you had met German in the 1980s, it would have been inappropriate for you to remind him about the holocaust which happened in 1940s since 4 decades have passed by then and people who committed such crimes were dead and gone. We are keenly observing your performance in the next 5 years.

So, the criminal actions of the JVP is a justification for others to criminally plunder the nation.?

His pathetic defensive stance is obvious.First he and his friends find loopholes in the forensic report now he thrash JVP who is doing its best to bring justice .

This dumb joker and cunning thief should be put in jail with Mahendren for many years. The audacity these thieves have in this country is appalling. The JVP was punished with over 70,000 killed, without trial innocent and guilty hope we can do that to the current criminals too.

You, as an unqualified upstart from MR Grace, appointed Governor of the Central Bank to rob it for the benefit of the Rajapaksa clan should not spread such stupid comments but withdraw from the public eye.
