Sr. Lanka's Douglas Devananda Has Survived 10 Hit Attempts
As Sri Lanka's "Minister of Agricultural Marketing and Development and Hindu Affairs," Douglas Devananda "is now the only surviving Tamil minister in the ruling alliance," The Electric New Paper (TENP) of Singapore said in an August 22, 2005 article.
