Bankum or simply hogwash. Arrest those responsible for the release of the terrorists stockpiling the explosives in Puttlam that was used to blow up churches and the hotels and killed over 250 and maimed 500 others, without further delay. They are now threatening the Sinhalese citing their human rights to do as they want. After the elections everything will be hunky dory.
We have seen the efficiency when they were looking for the bond Ravi for one week. He is now preaching us how to protect ourselves from Corona. They say birds of a feather flock together.
