The need of the hour is a constitutional change to protect minority rights. Not to lessen or increase executive powers!

Sri Lanka’s public sector workforce is larger than most countries in South and South-East Asia. As a result, the government has spent 31% of its revenue on ‘salaries and wages’ in 2023. What makes SL unique that it needs such a large public sector?

The 70’s and 80’s of Sri Lanka was characterized by uprising and revolutions due to deprivation of the poor people. However since recently the deprived have resolved to changing people in power by casting a ballot.

Patience of Sri Lanka police is remarkable, lesson to the world 🌎 #HumanRights #reconciliation @USAmbSL

Thank you Madiba for everything. I read your book in prison. The story of your Long Walk gave me courage and hope. Courage to fight for justice & hope that one day it will prevail.

As we struggle as a nation we wish you were here. #MandelaDay #SriLankaProtests

Whatever said and done, it will be a militarized country from today :( @GotabayaR

Right now! At Kodikamam Market entrance. A soldier videoing (note the light on his phone) those who come and sign the Petition to #RepealPTA. #Intimidation

Ranjan, the popular actor and politician, was outspoken and provocative. He has been a victim of the vicious system. Now, he has fallen sick and is hospitalized. He has been tortured enough. Ranjan deserves to be free!

The price increases of coconut by 51.9%, rice 11.7% and vegetables by 11.6% compared to 2019 (Central Bank) shows the Government commitment to mitigate adverse effects on the poor

[Sajith Marlon De Silva @MarlonSajith]

This is what happens when there is greed for power. The poor suffer as a result @GotabayaR

[Eran Wickramaratne @EranWick]

Dear Lasantha, your presence is sadly missed today. As Justice Minister Ali Sabry reminded us in parliament on Wednesday by quoting Niemöller, it is our moral imperative to continue Lasantha’s legacy of speaking for those who cannot. #lka #srilanka

[Eran Wickramaratne @EranWick]

We did not choose the country, family, race, caste or religion we were born into. In death we have a human right to be burned or cremated. Personally for me, whether it’s burial or cremation does not matter, but for some it has a particular significance. (1/2) #lka @sjbsrilanka

The fire which erupted in the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka is evidence enough that the Sri Lankan Legal System has to move to the technological age. This is not the first record room to catch fire. Yet we keep preferring the manual paper based system in a day and age of zoom trials

The 20th Amendment will always be remembered as the Constitutional authorization that diminished democratic values @GotabayaR

[Sajith Marlon De Silva @MarlonSajith]

I wonder why they say “Prisoners are also human beings” when there rights cannot be safeguarded @GotabayaR

But the question may come up of a long day being tough on children who are not properly nourished. The answer of course is the provision of school lunches, which should be made available for Type 2 and Type 3 schools anyway.
