Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar does not express this whole-heartedly but with some cunning intention that very soon Ranil and his Government will offer India about 8500 Hect. Land to carry out their business.

Believe me, as because of Ranil and his SLPP henchmen always go to India and beg for help - Now the Indian Govt. had found the weaknesses and simply promising big deals for their own benefit. This is the reality. Yes, now SL is under obligation to India.

Dr. A.C.B. Jayaweera Thursday, 24 August 2023 12:12 PM

Mr. Jaishankar you are so clever to cheat RW as he too has secret deals with Modi

The IPKF did havoc to the citizens of North and East. It cannot be forgotten. Thus India should pay reparations to North and East. Establish the Jaffna airport runway so that larger aircrafts can land. Improve health, education, infra structure of The town, economy, tourism to North and East.
