This is an eye wash and a fabricated plan by Prez. Gota and Ranil in order to remain in power forever.

Begging all over the world !! No head to think anything. Only beg beg and be in power. Next set of politicians will beg more to pay the loans taken by the present beggers and the story goes on... The damage done by 6.9 million impacts all.

Now these beggars are falling at the feet of India. Why not India annexe SL as it’s 29th state ?

Any assistance from India/Kerala should come directly to the Central Government rather than giving out freely to Northern part or Eastern Part of Sri Lanka, and any action ignoring Central Government is a breach of law.
