Using explosives by Tamil Nadu illegal fishermen should incur severe penalty. They should be heavily fined, lose their catch and trawlers and be imprisoned. Hon President should not have them released. Let a strong message be sent to Modi that SL means business. If they want a war let’s give them a war, with China and Pakistan as our allies, to counter India.
Jesus…! You need war more.? Is that a holly war or war on terror? Or war on fish? 🙂 war is for who make arms, the peace is for us to live. You’ve a western war-mind as you lost the faith of great peace giving buddhism. That’s miserable. Sinhala buddhists never want a war!
