Please go on finding the reason for one after the other and other and, as Ranil said the other day at a meeting in reply to a comments by Cabral, you will finally end up with the question of "Why the hell this Vijaya Kumaraya landed in Sri Lanka from India which then started all our problems to date" If you can please find an answer to that question
