<strong>The tale of a toy and a hollow man</strong> https://t.co/IzaaBedaLF

Some people spend years cultivating an image, but their true nature has a way of bursting through... loud, crass & unmistakable.

Turns out, you can't hide ugly forever, no matter how much you dress it up in power or privilege.

Tweeting this for no reason whatsoever.

@BimalRathnayake Why the soft peddling?? Why use words like “amending “ ? Didn’t you guys say you’d abolish it?
Why doesn’t this statement say “once a new government is formed we will take steps in Parliament to abolish it “ as your manifesto clearly says?

Despite decade-long calls by victims, minorities & activists to repeal the PTA, despite the NPP manifesto promising to repeal the PTA, despite the PTA being used on suspect JVPers themselves in the 80s, the NPP govt has said they will NOT repeal the PTA https://t.co/WYwoUxGTUc

@Lord_Of_Order_ @sanjiva What has this got to do with the genocide? Are you saying it’s ok to kill some ? Like Zionist style. Well according to Zionist’s everyone else should be annihilated or
become Zionist isn’t it?

@MehnazAkberAziz @AzamNazeerTarar @BBhutto_Zardari Curious. I’m from Sri Lanka. What is the age of children defined by law at the moment? I was under the impression that universally it’s 18 years.

Udaya Gammanpila has a well documented past of stoking racial divisions & exploiting nationalism for political gain. His entire career is built on driving wedges between communities, especially targeting minorities.

Remember, Gammanpila was a key supporter of MR during his ultra-nationalist regime. He consistently backed policies that marginalised Tamil and Muslim communities, aligning himself with extremist groups like BBS.

In 2014, as anti Muslim riots spread, Gammanpila stood by silently, later defending those who fanned the flames of racial violence. His silence during times of ethnic strife is a loud reminder of whose side he is truly on.

Fast forward to today, & his latest press conference on the Easter Sunday attack is nothing but another calculated move. His aim? To discredit the investigators & throw suspicion on those working to uncover the truth.

It’s no coincidence that Gammanpila is throwing these distractions now. His nationalist politics thrive on keeping the real culprits hidden & focusing blame elsewhere. A useful idiot for anyone trying to derail the investigation.

The people pushing Gammanpila's narrative have one goal: to bury the truth. Don’t fall for it. His history shows that he's always been a tool for creating chaos.

Don't let his racist past fool you into thinking he’s here for answers. This is pure political theatre... Oh and he has a case coming up too. He will use this smokescreen & claim persecution when this case comes up for judgement.

Maithripala Sirisena noted that ministers cannot steal without the knowledge of their secretaries and chief accountants. He put the integrity of CA-qualified accountants to zero at their own conference. Instead of crying, they laughed

One by one, they vanished, like candles snuffed out in the dead of night. It began with Rasika Wijetunge, just 17, his only crime a bit of foolish teasing & poking fun at someone who happened to be close to the principal. But soon, it wasn’t just Rasika. More names followed, and the list grew longer, darker. 25 boys in total, swallowed up over 66 days. The last anyone saw of them, they were heading toward a place called Sevana Army camp. A name that made even grown men shudder. It was no ordinary military base. This was where the screams were said to linger in the air long after dusk, a place with a reputation soaked in blood and shadow. Officially, it existed to stamp out the growing JVP threat in the south, but what lay behind those walls? torture, executions without trial.

The list came from Principal Dayananda Loku Galappaththi, a vindictive man and political stooge who carried a live grenade around the school to instill fear. Some accounts describe the cause of his grudge as a silly joke. But for those kids, it didn’t matter. They were marked.

They were just kids. Played cricket, studied for exams, chased dreams. But then, they found themselves on a list… and once you were on that list, there was no way off.

Embilipitiya was the kind of town down south where nothing ever happened. Until the day it did. In late 1989, the quiet was shattered, and over 30 schoolboys went missing. Gone, like a shadow swallowed by the night.

@Chathurangaab All the very best! So many good candidates from
Maalimawa colombo district. We have a tough choice of 3. :)

@Namal0001 @anuradisanayake Pls explain what you mean?

[Hejaaz Hizbullah @hejaazh]

After my arrest 2 so called ‘confidential’ statements made to the Magistrate were reported by the media. The CID was not concerned about the ‘leak’.

Yet, when @tharinduij speaks about the #EasterSundayattacks - a B-report was filed yesterday before Court - seeking orders 1/2

@Shaun_hiker @iThamizhi When you say “we have been lied to all these years “ what’s the period?

Also - do you think , north should base there votes only on robbery and abuse of punch funds?

[Dileepa16 @Dileepa16]

@nimilamalee Isn’t Tiran alles a respondent in this case? Why was he not party to this crime?

The only politician of the past era i honour for having integrity, humbleness, empathy , compassion and wisdom. And the only politician of the era gone by, whose Parliament speeches can be recommended for children. #intergrity #srilankapolitics

Congratulations to @bakeermarkar on your appointment as Chairman of @sjbsrilanka! Your leadership and dedication will undoubtedly guide the party to new heights.

Wishing you great success in this important role as we continue to work towards a brighter future for Sri Lanka.

[Chaminda Dias @chami9539]

To NPP & SJB supporters: Don’t be blinkered like them.

Hold your leaders accountable. Ignoring their worst excesses only enables them.

Loyalty doesn’t mean blind support, it means pushing them to be the best version of themselves.

Demand more.
