Pillay has gazed into a crystall ball……..While Raja has visited Abeywickreme.
Pillay is confused and stress due to a marriage proposal on the one hand, to honour Diaspora santhosams and actual situations she has observed.
Pillay has grudgingly stated in private, what are these people grumbling to me about missing persons? Don’t they realise that there has been a war going on for 30+ years between the GOSL and a murderous organisation and missing people are inevitable. Who can remember what happened to whom, when & where? They need to move on with military development in the business spere.
