Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapaksa on War Path?

 In an interview given to a Sinhalese news paper paper Minister of Justice and Buddha Sasana Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said, the sale of Hambantota Harbour a public asset to the Chinese was  wrong and assured the public that he would not rest until he regains its ownership on behalf of the people.

Further he said, Hambantota Harbour is decisive within the sphere of global politics as it has prompted India to demand possession of the oil tanks in Trincomalee.

He warned that as 89 per cent of the ships arriving at the Colombo Harbour were there for re-export these ships would not want to sail an extra 400 nautical miles to Colombo when with the further expansion taking place at the Hambantota Harbour they could dock there and unload their goods. This would then end up turning the Colombo Harbour into a swimming pool while the Chinese company with a major stake in the Hambantota Port would flourish.
