Lokuaiya is welcome to visit us. Please don't get your children to take over our land on the pretext that the lands are for development projects. Our Dada will happily part with family land if he gets a benefit

I think Modi can come to Sri Lanka any time he wants because we've become a part of India. No need for huge publicity for his visit

Comments above highlight how JVP supporters think.. like frogs in a well. India is going to be a financial/military super power surpassing China. All the western countries are working hard to build relationships with India so that they can tap into the large market.. our SL JVP friends are using the same old story (remember MCC)

Will we get the same comments from the audience if the Chinese leader agreed to visit Sri Lanka?

Modi should come and show SL how India developed through hard work and the patriotism of their leadership and patriotism of its people.

I hope Ranil will introduce Sajith Premadasa to Modi, because Sajith needs an opening!

Is he coming to acquire Katchaitivu no he doesn't want to do that now. He tried all tricks in the books in order to hoodwink the Tamil Nadu voters out of all places he chose Kaniyakumari for his bahavana sessions ultimately all his juvenile trickery ended up in utter failure, ultimately the TN voters outrightly disowned him and his party was miserably beaten getting a foothold in the south was only pipedream. Sri Lanka must understand him better this guy will do anything dirty to achieve his goals

Excellent news unelected master debating president loves elected prime minister and he wants to show the elected prime minister who is in charge of internal work. The elected prime minister must make sure bring his wheelchair just in case he is struggling to walk around having one night stand on his steamy bed in mile high club.

@- SAKYA- Similarly the Southern politicians expecting the North- East to favour them and to get a foot hold is a pipe dream.
