Modi must be running away! BR comes to beg, not for talks.

The person who was employed in a supermarket as a stocking employee having talks with the Indian pm on finance of our country. How pathetic it could be

Compare the standards of education between Sri Lankan FINANCE minister and Indian FINANCE minister Ms Nirmala Sitharaman. Will Sri Lankan minister understand ‘ credit facility’ ‘Inflation ‘ ‘compound interests’ ‘FICO score’ ‘ Net worth’ ‘ Asset allocation’ ‘Capital gains’ ‘Rebalancing ’ ‘Stock options’. Very sad indeed. He will make a fool of himself.

Did Basil go to India with his begging bowl. Where is our friendly China now. None of our Ministers in the ruling party like India. I am confused now.

No Indian welcoming party. Just another Sri Lanka and his aides to welcome him. Ha Ha.
