Are you sure you are doing it or you just do political drama.

Take your own time, Mr Minister. There's certainly no hurry. Get them screened for drugs too. You can never tell.

I have my doubts!. It is said that this outfit through experience have come to “know their onions” and supposed to be masters in organising overseas events . Hence, it’s very unlikely that they will resort to “dropping bricks” to tarnish their image at this crucial period. Who knows, this may be an election gimmick with the election around the corner.

During covid , these guys were asking everyone there not yo send dollars through banking system. Such a hypocritical lot, now promising a new era. Cardinal too did the same with his supporters.

Those who think and say that JVP asked not to send dollars to Sri Lanka, are themselves are suffering from dementia.

When JVP is not aware of common basic rules of countries who did favour to us by providing job opportunities, will they understand the basics of Economics good for us??? May be the employers of those arrested guys might deport them, if found and tested for alchohol. JVP is for Janatha Vikara / Vinaase Pukse.

Last time when AKD wanted to go to the USA, Ranil had to guide him, on how to enter the USA for political purpose. May be AKD and his 'Ethera Api' have their heads in the cloud, thinking that they are world leaders recognized all over the world. Just imagine, the plight of the nation if these Frogs in the well leader and followers come to power!

See the people who preach to public on stages. They don't even know the basic rules. They may be famous. But they don't have the minimum common sense even. This is why people should not listen to such people when deciding on extremely important things i.e.who to rule this country.
