Talk about being caught in the middle! 😬 With England facing Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals, @OfficialDBecks_ is officially in the hot seat.

Will loyalty to his country win out, or will his love for Leo Messi take over?

பழமை பேசிப் பொழுது போக்கும் பஞ்சாங்க அரசியலுக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி! தலைமுறை தாண்டிய விலங்குகளை உடைத்து தழைக்கட்டும் ஒரு புதிய பண்பாடு.
சாதி மதச் சடங்குகளில் சிக்கித் தவிப்பதல்ல - நம் வளர்ச்சி, காலாவதியான கொள்கைகளை சுமந்து திரிவதல்ல - நம் புரட்சி.

[Raghu Balachandran @JBRBALA]

வேரூன்றிய மூடநம்பிக்கை மரங்களை வெட்டிச் சாய்த்து, விண்ணைத் தொடத் துடிக்கிறது இளைய ரத்தம்!
பழைய பிம்பங்களை உடைத்து, புதிய விடியலை உருவாக்குவோம். தேவைப்படுவது வெறும் ஆட்சி மாற்றம் மட்டுமல்ல, தனி மனித சிந்தனையில் ஒருபெரும் புரட்சி!

Govs double standards exposed! 😡 While begging for land donations to help DITWAH victims, the Land Reforms Commission charges fees to survey lands for the very same affected families in Trincomalee. Heartless neglect of our people where's e care? @anuradisanayake @ShanakiyanR

President @anuradisanayake’s CID is quick to probe and arrest @RW_SRILANKA over the misuse of state funds yet fails to ensure justice over the murder of Lasantha Wickrematunge, and Wasim Thajudeen and the disappearance of Pradeep Eknaligoda

#ITAK sent this letter to President ⁦@anuradisanayake⁩ today on the #Chemmani_Mass_Graves today:

[Raghu Balachandran @JBRBALA]

These images reveals the cruelty behind those who ordered and committed these crimes. Yet, even now, the government refuses to acknowledge that ethnic cleansing took place in Sri Lanka. #Justice #HumanRights #SriLanka #Chemmani

[Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam @ShanakiyanR]

Below is an English translation of a post that I have copied from a Facebook profile. Hope Chemmani Mass graves will create enough pressure to have an accountability mechanism for atrocities committed.

“The doll that stayed awake, watching, knows everything that happened there.

A little girl has been buried in the red soil, along with a blue book bag, glass bangles, sandals, and children’s toys.

This doll is going to become a time capsule.

I too had a similar-looking doll. It was made of thick rubber, and the colors on it were not just painted on the surface but thoroughly infused during molding—cast in a single mold. One of the quality dolls of those days. It was first used by my elder sister during her childhood, and later I played with it.

That doll appears in a photograph from my sister’s second birthday (1985).

Similar dolls can also be seen in Tamil movies from the mid-1980s.

This doll must have been bought at a temple festival stall or a toy shop before the family relocated. It’s likely that this doll was used by the little girl’s sibling and kept safely for her. I believe that, just like me, this child carried the doll with her during their displacement.

If that sibling is still alive, this child can be identified—and through that, the timeline of this burial site will be revealed.

My inner voice says that a well-lived family has been reduced to dust.

It feels as though nature has held onto these items, waiting for the right moment to settle its account. HOPE 🤞”

One reason Indian judiciary is more independent than Sri Lanka’s: India’s strong constitutional protections shield judges from political influence, unlike Sri Lanka where such protections are not implemented. #JudicialIndependence #India #SriLanka

@BimalRathnayake Initially, you said the law needs to be changed, but now the court has released the person after the minister’s intervention?

Wow, Sunil finally nailed it! Turns out there’s no North Salt or South Salt—just good old India Salt.😂😂😂

[NewsWire 🇱🇰 @NewsWireLK]

"There is no salt of the North or salt of the South," Minister Sunil Handunnetti slams MP Archchuna Ramanathan, accusing him of inciting racial divisions and alleging that opposition MPs are using the salt shortage to promote divisive politics.

[Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam @ShanakiyanR]

Amid continued instability at SLRC and wider concerns about governance, the government persists in signing agreements behind closed doors. The latest deal—with Chongqing Transmission Corporation Limited of the People’s Republic of China and the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation—raises significant questions. This comes from the same administration that once firmly opposed such opaque arrangements. For a government that built its image on transparency, where is that principle now?

[Raghu Balachandran @JBRBALA]

Repealing the PTA and drafting a new counter-terrorism act are two different matters. The PTA can—and should—be repealed. Sri Lanka already has enough laws to counter terrorism without resorting to repressive measures. #RepealPTA @anuradisanayake

@AingkaranK @anuradisanayake @Dr_HariniA @NPPSLOfficial @NalindaJay @BimalRathnayake AKD will run for the second term as well.
