So, it's a proof that there was democracy, during good governance, under the 19th amendment unlike now under the 20th as many cases withdrawn by the very person who filed those cases.

If the Govt. change - Hirunika will play a main role holding an important Ministrial portfolio and she knows how to trap Rajapakshe family.
