Sri Lanka, Feb. 18 -- "I am aware of the issues faced by the people though I wear a coat and a tie. What is happening today is that large-scale mill owners are planning to purchase aircraft while poor farmers cannot afford to purchase a push cycle. This is exactly what is depicted in a cartoon published by a Sinhalese daily," MP Harsha de Silva told Parliament today.

He alleged that some of the lands within the Prabaswara cold storage premises have been handed over to private businessmen to construct their own cold storages.
