Make India continue to provide for the 13A inclusion Friday, 03 March 2023 04:45 PM

When will we get more support is another way of putting things. Excellent rhetoric from government to keep the pressure on India to provide more. They think they can give credit line loan look like hero and then wash hands. No, they will be up for more and more. India bought a lot of problems by forcing in 13A now India must be pay for it's forcing it in for decades to come.

What is a meaningless comment. Is the current economic problem a fallout of 13A? This mismanagement is due to Sri Lankan leaders mismanaging the economy.
