Dear Cardinal, you will never see justice to this episode during your life time. Had you not told the Catholics to vote for Gota, Sajith would have been the president of this country. Then with Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka as the head of country defense and security and Mr. Shani Abesekara as CID head, along with the then STF Head and Army Commander, by now all the planners, executors (Maha Molakaru) would have been brought to justice. Why do think they are trying to kill Shani Abesekara? So you are to be blamed for all of this. So please apologize to the Catholics.

How about telling the people to stay safe and take care of themselves during this pandemic crisis. Our people have suffered from bomb blasts for the last 30 years without any black flags !
