Congratulations.
You have treated a lot to our motherland.
Bravo Sunil and Bravo JVP! This is really your place – these investigative/inquiry committees and commissions!
With always getting pathetically low popular votes at every election (which is you own doing! you just don’t have it in you to offer the voters a national, patriotic, strategic vision for security nor economic imperatives of the nation!), yes you are best suited to be the ‘guard dogs’ of the nation to keep our other politicos in check.
However, even in that area you failed – by propping up the former Yahapalanaya mega crooks – but with some good work to apologize to the nation and show that you made a huge mistake then, I say you can still be good ‘guard dogs’ and we must give you your due place in our society!
