Colombo, April 26 (Daily Mirror) - Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) leader Mano Ganesan said China plays a key role in the Asia-centric world today, and it should help Sri Lanka to join BRICS- the grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates

Taking to X, he said India, Russia are well placed in the BRICS grouping. Hence, in future, Chinese good offices should support Sri Lanka to gain entry into BRICS, said TPA leader Mano Ganesan to Sun Haiyan, Vice Minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Mr. Ganesan met her along with Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa. The CPC delegation, earlier, met the representatives of the parties such as Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and the National People’s Power (NPP).

Do you think they will take us in when we are bankrupt? First get rid of corruption, personal aggrandisement, nepotism, cheating etc Concurrently develop the country. Then we will have the right to be at the high table.

Dont make a mistake, as the Chinese will expect something in return. Maybe the tea plantations to be given to them.

This politico should understand that, it is not a forum to include beggars. First the country must be developed, get rid of corruption, poverty and raise the standard of living of every one not that of the vile politicians. Then only country will benefit from joining BRICS.

Don't worry, BRICS will rule the entire country under one law for a century. Think about how much sulu-jathika parties would be benefitted under that rule. Present and future rulers, become only Tax-Collectors have nothing to worry about their private budgets. SLPP and JVP now come in NPP mask will be obedient Tax-collectors with their unmandated selection.

Exactly. This fellow definitely must be having horns on his head to even dream of this. It also shows the level of his knowledge and understanding of those nations who are members to the grave present structure of Sri Lanka. People should evaluate leaders like these from there comments and abilities rather than listening to their Baila Songs. Then we can have more competent leaders than this kind of dustbins.

Mano Ganeshan, an Indian origin Tamil and India admirer now embracing China. Great News. Politicians can change faster than speed of light to suit electoral conditions.

Indian origin is just a matter of how long ago Sunday, 28 April 2024 07:10 PM

Everyone ancestor came here from overseas. Everyone born here should be considered Sri Lankan, first and foremost. Doing otherwise is simply racist like how people living in India often are. Western country people don't hold out about where ancestor came from, to get to top positions and that is why they are successful, as their constitutions give equal rights regardless of ethnic origin/race, colour, creed/religion.

BRICS is an organization of five countries that have shown commendable economic progress during recent years. No country can join this organization unless it has shown remarkable economic upheaval and industrial progress. Our country with its iconic begging bowl reaching to the world and begging for aid will never be there.

In this group, 3 are criminal rogue states, 4 are moderate autocracies, while only 2 states are democratic.

What an idiot ? What does he know about BRICS .? This is a group comprised of Brazil,Russia,India,China and South Africa who are close behind the major developed economies, To class Sri Lanka in this group displays the ignorance and stupidity of this individual.

Who he thinks he is to ask such things on behalf of Sri Lanka? Sri Lanka should stay neutral. Mr. Ganeshan is just a parliamentary member, nothing more than that.

USELESS- Not even the Basic understanding what is BRICS and why it was formed. BRICS was formed by the more developed countries excluded in the G8. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. These are large well developed economies- Sri Lanka a baby. Other such useless organisations, SAARC, BIMSTEC, Indian Ocean Rim Association. Non Aligned Movement. NOTHING

Such process should be considered by China after the Presidential Election as the country is not in a stable stage after Ranil took over the country instigating ARAGALAYA with the support of the US-PLOT. Mano Ganesal is a known MENTALLY RETARDED person, his words have no meaning or plan at all.

India doesn't value us, because they know us too well Sunday, 28 April 2024 07:03 PM

India is now full against Maldives and go out of it's way to prevent Indian exports of essential goods to there. Until India is neutralised no point going around trying to get into BRICS, as it is against India's interest to have us become more influential. It might help China and Russia, but us going into BRICS to be closer with the, but not for India.
