Colombo, September 21 (Daily Mirror) - A curfew will be imposed if the need arises and it will be enforced strictly if violence erupts, Minister of Public Security Tiran Alles told journalists today.

"The Presidential election is calm and I appeal to the public and political party leaders to maintain this atmosphere. We have done our utmost to ensure the security of the nation during the Presidential election," Minister Alles said.

Who are you, Mister? Let EC decide these things. Only if EC asked your assistance, you should get involved. Remember, you're just a party member, temporary holding the position -- not even a proper representative, but a nation list guy.

Sure, you need to impose curfew just to escape from SL soil. Don't worry, we will bring all thugs back to Sri Lanka, once law and order established.

Ensure Your Group Doesn’t Instigate Any Violence Saturday, 21 September 2024 12:51 PM

All should be well unless your SLPP goons and tugs misbehave. Remember, they started the riots during the Aragalaya protests. Most protesters were peaceful until these goons lead by some of your party officials instigated violence. So get your shop in order and all will be well! All other parties have professional leadership and able to nip any problematic persons within their circle.

This corrupt politician seems to be having a grudge with the general public. It's probably because he knows nobody likes him.

You need a curfew so that you and your crooked colleagues can flee the country unhindered.

Yes. If Ranil loses badly, this guy will create an issue to impose curfew to nullify the election results.

After Basil left, there are more Potuwa rotters have planned to fly and already they are ready with their tickets and visa etc., Now Kutty, Jonny, Weerawansa, Mahinananda, Ratharang, Miris Kudu Prasanna - etc., all are missing in action. But our boys are looking for them to teach the right lessons in due course.

Do what you have to do to keep the public safe and maintain law and order. We appreciate the police and forces who are tasked with preventing violence and chaos. May the candidates and their hero-worshippers keep it classy when the results are announced. All the best Sri Lanka! Hope you voted for your own future and freedoms in mind.

Alles, when there is no incidents, why are you struggling to impose curfew. Something fishy???

Get lost. Hope SLPP and UNP are wiped off this time around. Impose the curfew on rogues escaping from the country. We do not need your nonsense.

Nobody was even thinking of curfew until you mentioned it you f'ing moron. Your days are numbered and I hope you will be held accountable for your corrupt ways. Your honorable father must be rolling in his grave.
