Ranil, do you not have enough on your plate to keep you busy? I, just like the next Sri Lankan, have high regard for Jackson Anthony but for you to be spending time looking into his welfare when the country is virtually sinking into the Indian Ocean, I think gives the worst optics you should be avoiding! You are not a physician or a surgeon and not sure why you need to be there and I am sure even Jackson A will agree that you have other pressing matters to attend. Please do not make things worse for you, by your own volition, than they are already!
