Together with my colleagues in the Opposition, I formally signed over the no confidence motion against the Energy Minister to the Speaker. The same was handed over to the Hon Speacker a short while ago. This is a necessary step to hold those responsible accountable for the ongoing crisis affecting our people. We stand firm in our duty to demand transparency, responsibility, and better governance for Sri Lanka.

I said I haven’t seen the Grade 6 module. But how many govt MPs have? Major education reforms pushed with no White Paper, no transparency, no parliamentary scrutiny, just a PowerPoint. SJB is all for reforms. Nice try, @SirasaTVlk. Clip politics won’t hide failure.

අතුරුදහන් වූවන්ගේ පවුල් නොරවටා අනුමත වූ වන්දිය 2026 වත් දෙන්න

காணாமல் போனோர்களினது குடும்பங்களை இனிமேலும் ஏமாற்றாமல், அங்கீகரித்த இழப்பீட்டை 2026 ஆண்டிலேனும் பெற்றுக் கொடுங்கள்.

Stop deceiving the families of the disappeared and provide the approved compensation in 2026 as well

Voices rise, flames burn, and truth unfolds in Nepal. As protests intensify and leader resigns, social media remains the shield and spotlight. Protecting the right to express online is protecting democracy.
