a good time for everyone including MPs to remember that they are in parliament to represent the people, not themselves. If there was ever a time to put the country/the public's best interests forward, this would be it. We need to survive this year. People are dying. #SriLanka
@ChayuDamsinghe By tomorrow (if ever) a letter shows up GR can brag he wrote a resignation letter in close to the same span of time it took God to create the whole world 😐
Man, how long does writing a letter take? Does Maldives have a paper shortage like us?? Ran out of printer toner? Beach water keeps sloshing on his drafts? I wanna know🤔
People with platforms have a responsibility to think more than one step ahead, especially right now. If you call for an action, people will come. Are you asking this of them for a good enough reason? Because you can't take it back easily once things are in motion.
In case nobody saw his live video a short while ago, Anuruddha Bandara stated that those marching to parliament and taking over state institutions are not a part of the Aragalaya that he is a part of. They are at GGG, continuing their lawful citizen protest.
@roelraymond And the U TURNS keep coming! Our Speaker could have been a formula one race car driver at this rate. 🤦♀️ or a salsa dancer. Alternative careers to think about
BASL statement
▪︎ Expresses deep concern at statements of some protest groups that undermine rule of law/constitutional governance and damage to President's House/Temple Trees etc.
▪︎ Calls for smooth, peaceful power transition and protection of public property/solutions ⬇️
Brutality is the second reason why #SriLankans hate their politicians. Brutes, such as these, act on behalf of the President, Prime Minister & Cabinet, and enjoy impunity. At best they are "suspended"(given paid leave) not even arrested or prosecuted, until forgotten in the media
@muditha This is why executive presidency being abolished is priority NO.1. Or whoever comes next after GR will also be running from one bunker to another and giving orders to rule.
