It is a pleasant surprise for me that PM Modi mentioned my name in his address. India is the largest democracy in the world and it is really a great honour for me because he was mentioning that in my country and was talking about the identity of my community. It’s a great thing... For Sri Lanka, India is like an elder brother. That s the kind of relationship we share. We need India's help and India can help us in so many ways. That will be great for our country... We love PM Modi like everyone does. He has taken a lot of steps for the people of India. He has done so many things so far and his popularity is growing more. You can see that during election season. I think people love him.
