The CID was conducting idiotic style of investigation and wasted time,instead of arresting and charging Rajapaksas.

Only Ranil to be blamed for just wasting more than three years without doing anything.

Now It is clear in which direction Sri Lanka is being headed into. All Sri Lankans should clearly get together to revert back this trend and dawn of a dark era, during the next General Election and Presidential Elections.

ahamed Monday, 19 November 2018 12:15 PM

Sirisena ids a despicable character who can tern public sentiment to achieve his political ambitions by letting the biggest rogue and his family off the hook.This shows that Sri Lanka is a Banana State and the "Despicable Wonder of Asia"

Lion Monday, 19 November 2018 01:02 PM
