Just to advise….. Whenever you use IIOJK, it does not refer a friendly environment.
Colombotimes – this means a lot when you use IIOJK, please dont use this next time
No other country except Pak uses this.
Be friend then behave like friend.
Colombo Times appears to be pro-China and pro-Pakistan news organization the way its using the term AJ and IOJK. China has put Sri Lanka into debt and taken over Hambantota port. Still vested interests in Sri Lanka seem not awaken.
