Is it true that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was trying to raise $120M?

to fund his programmes utilizing Sri Lanka as a launching pad?
“As part of his peace mission, Ravi Shankar also met up with several leaders including Opposition leader Ranil Wickramasinghe and US Ambassador to the country Robert Blake.” Sri Lanka continues to be much more realistic about methods used to meet civilian need.

The UN continues to have access to IDP populations though the request to enter the Terrorist Held Zone has been denied

Why is it that these Blake/Wickremesinghe/Sri Sri (and the like) meetups conclude with such crass stupidities as requests/challenges to resettle civilians in 3 months?

BTW Sri Sri seems to be a big favorite of a certain loafers – as they attempt to interject his $150 pp "workshop" at every possible opportunity.
As exchange rate has decreased contrbutions in other currencies would be greatly appreciated.
Then there are the political opportunists from abroad that will say anything to get some media face time.
