Mr.Mahinda,
You can tell and define legal and fair things.
This is not an election. It is a robbery for taking votes forcibly. Rajapakse outfit labels it election.
But we know how they use public media, resources for their compaign and mislead general public in foul manner and threat, harass and intimate opposision and supporters.
So can you call this any more an election ?
