I was flabbergasted to read
following when I accidentally came across following headlines in one of the
local newspapers recently.
- . With tourists in mind, India relaxes visa norms,
- Protest after Manipur girl is raped in Delhi,
- Court orders arrest of ex-health minister in sexual assault case,
- . Kejriwal to “go to any extent” for Lokpal bill,
- Devyani seeks dismissal of visa fraud case in US court.
Needless to say,as a Sri Lankan, I was
aghast to learn that we are not so welcomed in India as we are not included
from the list of 180 countries that have been granted relaxed visa facility.
I am equally amazed as to why are
they (Indians) so afraid of Sri Lankans,
- where women are being raped in broad day light in their capital city;
- fraudsters are being given diplomatic immunity to carry on with their nefarious activities etc etc are daily occurrence in that land.
Given their track records,
I believe that Sri Lanka should be the one to be on the defensive, not the
Indians.
