@ShashiTharoor @Dilith_J And you have come all the way to Srilanka to share his loot mostly earned through corrupt deals with previous governments. Obviously you too have become an out of date and aging politician like few others you met in Srilanka this time

@AsangaAbey @Dr_HariniA @worldscientific Seeking a job desperately but by selling meaningless faulty writing and double speak . NPP is too smart a party to fall for such tricks 😀

[Velu Sumana @SumanaVelu]

@charith9 @sjbsrilanka When you hold hands with racist and extremist leaders like Wimal Weerawansa and take failed political pundits like Dayan J’s analysis seriously, then your political future too is as bleak as theirs . Sad since you can do better

@MiaForTrump 👍

[Mia @MiaForTrump]

🚨 JUST IN: Nearly 65% of Americans believe:
• Donald Trump is connected to Epstein
• He is the worst president in U.S. history
• He should be prosecuted

Thumbs up 👍 if you also believe the same.

[Mia @MiaForTrump]

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Democrats just introduced a bill that bans Trump from pardoning himself for corruption.

This corrupt clown could finally go to jail for a long time.

Thumbs up 👍 if you’re ready to see this grifter behind bars where he belongs.

@MASumanthiran This means NPP led by @anuradisanayake is the only accepted political formation for the people of those regions and unless your parties work together there is no political future for you all. Hope NPP take note & be true leaders for whole of Srilanka

Mahara repeated six years later. 60 plus killed and over 200 injured in both tragedies.
There's obviously nothing we learnt from Mahara.
Welikada 2012 [nearly 30 killings] was no lesson for Mahara..
Bindunuwewa 2000, yet another mass killing.

We keep Repeating the same response.

[Velu Sumana @SumanaVelu]

@martinparent89 @MaheshaSamarat2 It’s nothing to do with him . He just followed IMF advice and more . Fortunately his efforts to kick out CB Governor and appoint a crony like Arjuna Mahendran did not work and as result economy stabilized. RW is a selfish man without any empathy

An elephant mother that has carried its baby for more than 22 months and was born into the world only to see it die; how would that mother elephant cope and endure?

On the 27th of last month, a pregnant elephant came to Morgollagama waterhole. Because villagers blocked the way, the elephant, unable to find a path, gave birth in the water and the calf died just at that moment.

Is this country full of humans or heartless spirits 💔 May this kind of disaster never befall anyone again.

@NewsWireLK Congrats… hope it’s done by competent contractors

If you are a lawyer, and you have taken an oath to uphold and safeguard the law of this land, then live by that oath.

Ethics cannot be selective. Integrity cannot be situational.

If you are a President’s Counsel, your obligation is even greater. With seniority comes responsibility. With stature comes accountability. You cannot preach principles in public and practice compromise in private. You cannot speak of justice while participating in systems that undermine it.

Money, power, influence, backroom deals — these may buy silence, loyalty, and temporary protection. But they are all short-lived. Eventually, truth catches up.

I hope everyone occupying positions of power and prestige reflects deeply today.

There is a reason people say there is no smoke without fire. Allegations alone do not prove guilt, but they should compel introspection. Every person in a position of authority, whether in law, politics, business, or public service, must question their own conscience.

Have you upheld the law?

Have you abused power?

Have you become a deal maker?

Yes, many will dismiss this and say, “This is politics. This is power. Everyone does it.”

That mindset is precisely why Sri Lanka is in the state it is today.

This is why we became a nation drowning in debt.
This is why institutions lost credibility.
This is why public trust eroded.

Not because ordinary citizens held too much power, but because those entrusted with power repeatedly abused it for personal gain.

I will criticize this government when criticism is deserved. But I will also acknowledge and applaud this government if it demonstrates genuine courage to uphold one principle: that the law must be equal for all.

Equal not only for the powerless.
Equal not only for political opponents.
Equal not only for the convenient targets.

Equal for everyone, including members of their own party.

To his credit, Sajith Premadasa was willing to suspend a member of his own party when circumstances demanded accountability. That took political courage.

I hope President Anura Kumara Dissanayake also walks the talk.

The true test of governance is not whether you can catch the small fish.

The real test is whether you will go after the big fish.

Will you investigate the untouchables?
The powerful influencers?
The operators behind the scenes?
The deal makers sitting comfortably on pedestals, protected by networks of power?

That is where real accountability begins.

Justice is not justice if it only reaches the weak.

Rule of law means nothing if it stops at the doorstep of the powerful.

Sri Lanka does not need selective accountability.
Sri Lanka needs moral courage.
Sri Lanka needs institutions that are fearless.
Sri Lanka needs leaders who understand that no individual — however influential — is above the law.

If we truly want national transformation, we must stop normalizing corruption, patronage, and political deal-making.

The law must not bend for status.
The law must not kneel before power.
The law must stand above all.

Only then can we begin rebuilding this nation.

😩 JESUS CHRIST!!! Cops give a brutal beating on the bridge between Ohio and Kentucky to young people who were protesting against Trump's policies and against the Genocide in Gaza.

Spread this far & wide!!!

The shame isn't a toilet foundation stone. It's 200 years of no land rights for Malayagam communities, under the very parties Hirunika has stood with. Her mockery of Ambika reveals the same rulers who have been failing them all along

@KavithaRatwatte Why she covering face . ? Hiding real identity ? Why ?

[Rehan Jayawickreme @RehanJayawick]

Since I'm being tagged on posts about @hejaazh by anonymous pseudo-racists who won't even reveal their identities, let me ask a simple question: where were you when an innocent man spent 22 months imprisoned under the PTA?

Hejaaz's family received little media attention. That's precisely why people like me held press conferences and spoke out, despite being branded terrorist sympathisers for doing so.

Many of us were calling for the repeal of the PTA long before Suresh Sallay was arrested. Ironically, this is the very same law that many of these people celebrated and defended when they were in power.

Where were the wives, sons, daughters and supporters then, when innocent men and women were being arrested under the PTA? Apparently it didn't matter because it wasn't their husband, son or daughter behind bars.

So spare me the selective outrage and the hypocrisy.

As far as I'm concerned, Suresh Sallay is innocent until proven guilty. I also believe the PTA should be repealed. And being a decorated war hero does not place anyone above scrutiny when allegations of criminal wrongdoing arise.
