All this hullabaloo is a crafty ploy. It all Looks like a desperate attempt to divert voters’ attention from the fact that horrific terrorism (with bombings and mass massacres) has reared its monstrous head again and the economy has been on a pathetic steady decline over the past 5 years. I think in the average Sri Lankan’s head these are the two most pressing issues and not the fact that someone could be having citizenship even in planet Mars!
