Aiyo, Ranil is in Delhi, so let's wait for him. This is a country of monkeys, so leader has to come back to give instructions on what next.

Ranil behind every driver! Sunday, 09 June 2024 07:39 PM

You make us feel that Ranil has to stand behind every driver, every baker, every carpenter and so on. Remember that Ranil will die one day and we are not going to sit around the dead body crying. We will continue to live our own lives.

What has Ranil got to do with this idiotic driver unable to control his speed. He went there as all Asian leaders were invited. Not going there sends a rude signal to the neighbours. Even if AKD was President, he would have attended the ceremony.

Rs. 1,500 fine for the driver. Why? He and the bus owner is linked to politicians. No court case, no compensation, no judgement . If court case is pursued those children will be grandparents when verdict is delivered.
