This misfit is a DISGRACE to Sri Lanka, but more specifically to Sri Lanka’s ‘political establishment’ in the eyes of the International Community. Of course, then again, this so called International Community I am sure turns a blind eye to this mf’s disgraceful antics as after all he’s a darling of Ponil, who in turn is a darling of this International Community (yes, the same International Community that has been very gullible to swallow hook line and sinker of the Tamil Separatists’ so called grievances). Sajith, I hope you will not touch this mf with a 100 foot pole!
