Paying back such a huge debt would be a serious burden to Sri Lanka, he said, for a country which allocates only SLR 30,000                   million for education.                 President Mahinda Rajapaksa, in his capacity as the finance minister, is to present budget proposals to the parliament on                   22 November. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sinhala/news/story/2011/11/111118_harsha_debt.shtml" target="_blank">bbc</a></blockquote>
