Wow.. it is only the hands of the NPP guys are so clean and pristine. They never collected NICs on the night before election, assassinated the voters who went to the polling booths to vote, killed innocent people merely because they were against the Marxist ideology and ordered the relatives of the victims to carry the bodies below knee level, destroyed public assets, disrupted education from kindergarten to university level, organised strikes to disrupt public services, etc. etc. They are SO innocent.

How about the government at time killed many people when they were not involved in any political activity. Please get enough information before you make silly comments. Have heard of Sothi upali or Ranjith Upali? Who worked for Sirisena Cooray he killed many under instructions of Later R Premadasa , because you have different opinions that doesn't mean you have the right to kill that person. People who faced that kind of brutal regime have turned against them.

The thing is, the government is not concerned about poor quality mobile phones coming into the country. They don't care at all, as can be seen from the fact that China is allowed to flood the country with products of the worst quality. The government is only concerned with registering the phones, just as SIMs can only be issued on presentation of ID, in order to monitor and spy on the population.
