Why are protesting univ students treated as terrorists? #lka govt facing a severe international backlash after detaining student union leaders under draconian anti-terror law PTA, reports @maneshkaborham. Stop #OppressionLK! #RepealPTA! #PoliticalReformsLK

Good to see a #lka woman political personality featured in a cartoon - in a way that does not ridicule her. @Dr_HariniA #SriLankaCrisis #BeyondGota #PoliticalReformsLk
Did you know average age of 225 members in @ParliamentLK is 53 yrs? And 25% of them are 60+
Age is not everything but when a legislature is full of middle aged & elderly citizens, how much of a stake in *our common future* can they have? #PoliticalReformsLK #ReshapingRepublicLK
Inclusive political participation is not only a fundamental and democratic right but also is crucial to building stable and peaceful countries and developing policies that respond to the needs of younger generations.

Has #lka #Aragalaya been hacked by ideologically driven political activists or ideologically-confused, well meaning but highly unfocused social activists -- or both? Can this list 👇help #PoliticalReformsLK or in
#ReshapingRepublicLK? #PeoplePowerLK now needs a shaper vision...
This is boring snoring NGO-style stuff from the early 2000s. What an absence of imagination, what intellectual stagnation, what a farce of lazy ideology masquerading as political innovation. Aragalaya and Parliament are two sides of the same decayed coin.
Agreed: no matter how dire the situation, we must *never* advocate extra-Constitutional responses. #Democracy is imperfect, but alternatives far worse!

Leading contender for #NewPresidentLK @DullasOfficial just made a fine speech in @ParliamentLK calling for national healing & for 225 Parliamentarians to better represent #lka's 22m citizens at least from now. Highlighted vital need for #PoliticalReformsLK https://t.co/h3qO7XuuWu
What is happening now is NOT our #Aragalaya. Thanks
@amanashraff for summing it up. Looks like #SriLankaProtests have been hacked by anarchists.
#NewSriLanka must be within a democratic framework, not revolutionary socialist rhetoric!
#PoliticalReformsLK #ReshapingRepublicLK
THIS!!! 👇
How can we shape a #NewSriLanka #BeyondGota and
#BeyondRajapaksas? This needs an urgent conversation. For a start: let's learn from mistakes in recent past & also emulate occasional good practices that have actually worked! #PoliticalReformsLK #ReshapingRepublicLK #LastChanceLK?
Greatest threat to #SriLanka stability, at this time, is SLPP asserting its parliament majority to become a proxy for the rejected leaders of the country.
After 2015&19 elections, parliament majority of the defeated presidential candidate, stood down. SLPP shld do the same now.
Too soon to reflect on what happens #BeyondGota? And #BeyondRajapaksas? We don't know - yet.
But we say NO to any revolution: transfer of power (when it happens) MUST be done within #lka Constitution's provisions. #RuleOfLaw at all times.

Why we need #MediaReformsLk as a parallel process of essential #PoliticalReformsLk to overcome #SriLankaCrisis
වසර ගණනාවක් පුරා ශ්රී ලාංකීකයින් රාජපක්ෂ වහල් චින්තන දුගීන් බවට පත්කල "දොරමඩලාව" වැඩසටහන දැන් කොස් වහල්ල, ගස් ලබු පොතු සහ කෙසෙල් බඩ කන ආකාරය පිළිබඳව ජනතාව දැනුවත් කරමින් සිටියි. ලංකාවට අද අත්ව ඇති මේ අවාසනාවන්ත ඉරණමට මේ ජනමාධ්ය ජඩයන් වගකිව යුතුය. #SriLankaCrisis #GotaGoHome
#EconomicCrisisLK or not, the gravy train continues for #lka politicians across the political spectrum! With self-serving parasites like this, what hope for #PoliticalReformsLk? #SriLankaCrisis #EnoughIsEnough
⭕️ Minister of Urban Development and Housing Mr Prasanna Ranatunga seeks Cabinet approval for allocating 101 houses from the Newly built UDA's 500 unit Viyathpura Housing Complex for the Members of Parliament.
⭕️The complex is valued at staggering Rs. 1795 million in 2022.!
Can 225 members of @ParliamentLK afford to keep betraying #lka voters? Today's session - after a dramatic week - again shows bickering, banality & occasional banter dominate; few MPs keen on serious matters incl. #EconomicCrisisLK #SriLankaCrisis #PoliticalReformsLK (File Photo)
Wow, this brilliantly captures what #lka state had become under #Rajapaksas! #GoHomeRajapaksas

Caution from an elder statesman of #SriLankaCrisis
about responding to #EconomicCrisisLK and
#SriLankaCrisis. Wise words as we move ahead: #BeyondRajapaksas #PoliticalReformsLK #ReshapingRepublicLK
It is the youth-led #GotaGoGama that forced the fall of the draconian Rajapaksa regime. Any new government must deliver on GGM's demands. Unless the aspirations of the new generation and their promising new political culture are upheld, the protests are likely to go on for ever.
As some of us have been saying for years, #MediaLk (esp terrestrial TV) share responsibility for #SriLankaCrisis by uncritical reporting, laundering tainted politicians & neglecting public interest. Thus #PoliticalReformsLk need to be matched by urgent #MediaReformsLk.
Vital thread 👇#PoliticalReformsLk
Signs everywhere of a radical edge developing in the protest discourse. Demand going beyond the removal of the Rajapaksas to Parliament and the Constitution. Much talk of The People, Revolution, popular sovereignty, sweeping away unjust laws and institutions as much as regime.
Surviving #EconomicCrisisLK #SriLankaEconomicCrisis requires clarity + sharp focus on ensuring basic needs for all. Biz-as-usual scenarios can't work. Some of us also need to think & talk about #BeyondGota #BeyondRajapaksas on priority #PoliticalReformsLK
for #ReshapingRepublicLK
Wonder whether anyone recalls Bangkok after Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. Half built skyscrapers & expressways everywhere. After they dealt with the problems, things normalized. That is what we must do. Stop the expressways & redirect funding for relief for the people.
As @welikalaa keeps reminding us #lka has a duly & separately elected president & @ParliamentLK; all #PoliticalReformsLK must be within legal framework of #ConstitutionLK. Some discordant voices & banners at #GotaGoGama #OccupyGalleFace advocate bypassing these institutions: how?
Corruption has taken its roots. 🇱🇰🏴

Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis since gaining independence from the British in 1948.
