Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe today urged the government not to recognise the Taliban administration and to shut down the Sri Lankan mission in Kabul, Afghanistan.

"Sri Lanka should focus on Afghanistan, as it could become a hub for terror groups such as Jihads and even Al-Qaeda'. Therefore Sri Lanka should not recognize the new administration in that nation. Sri Lanka should also close down its diplomatic mission in Afghanistan and open a new office in another nation in the same region," he said.

" Afghanistan became a terror hub last time when the Taliban was controlling it. Terrorism might raise its head in Sri Lanka once again if diplomatic ties continue with the new Afghan regime," he warned. (Yohan Perera)

That means srilankan muslims are get attracted to terrorism easily. You need the muslims to pass your resolutions in parliament. But after that we are still a community who can't be trusted

Not all of you guys. Majority can be trusted but minority like you cannot be trusted. What happened at 20th amendment was an eye-opener. Those guys are definitely terrorists.

Recognising an armed Islamists fanatics, that ousted an elected government by force, would go against all forms of democratic traditions. We are not China or North Korea, but a Democratic country!

The elected government collapsed of its own accord and the Chief did a runner with a lot of loot to boot. Not that the Taliban are saints...... let's hope they give girls a chance to run the show... it's the only real solution.
