Real owner of 13 + is Former Indian Foreign Secretary Sivashangar Menon . In a discussion with Mahinda Rajapaksha , Menon made this proposal . Under this proposal, he made it clear to establish an upper house, which includes all nine Chief Ministers. There after Mahinda Rajapaksha had a meeting with the Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this meeting Manmohan Singh wanted to know the definition of 13 + Mahinda explained to him as what was told to him by Sivashangar Menon . This is how 13 + came into the scene . Hence, it is clear Mahinda is not the owner of the 13+.
