Uni student snatches gold chain

A female second year university student, who was trying to flee after snatching a woman s gold chain was caught by a group of three-wheeler drivers in Gampola and handed over to the police.

Police said that the suspect student had first threatened the woman with a knife before she snatched the chain. According to the initial police investigations the student had collected some nine lakhs rupees in order to repay a housing loan, obtained from a bank and she had a shortage of Rs.50, 000 for the purpose.

She is living with her disabled father and step-mother alone with small brothers and sisters.

Indian delegation decline the President s invitation

The visiting Indian delegation has declined an invitation for a tea party organized by President Mahinda Rajapaksa at Temple Trees on the 17th morning. According to the schedule prepared by the Indian government for the delegation, the visiting Indian MPs are to meet with the President on the 20th.



However, the Indian delegation had met with Indian supporter, Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa and has engaged in a lengthy discussion with him.

The Indian delegation that arrived in the country on the 16th will remain till the 21st and would visit the North and East and inquire into the issues faced by the Tamil people in the area during their stay in Sri Lanka.

Professor Wijesingha states The government has after all argued that the Australian High Commission was remiss in failing to provide information about Mr Gunaratnam s arrival in this country, whereas its reactions to his abduction made it clear that they knew all about him. It is claimed that the High Commission had not responded to an inquiry, but surely the correct thing to do when information is required, and there is reason to believe that any delay is detrimental to the national interest, is to call in the Australian High Commissioner and explain the situation and request active cooperation.

Unfortunately such calling in does not occur. Our Ministry of External Affairs had proved singularly incompetent in dealing with the international community, whether diplomats of Non-Governmental Organizations, despite the powers it has. I can think of several instances in which it should have called diplomats or others in and, very politely, indicated the serious implications of what was happening.

Thank god, MR and Gota happened.

What do you mean by a heavy price? May I ask, what action Srilanka can take?

I can see now what a mess these MR and Gota together brought and can bring to the country. So, I would rather give SF clear credit for winning the war.
