Nobody has the power to remove RW, other than the Parlament. People should come out on the streets and protest against the Sirisena and the gang.

RW has demonstrated that he is a successful failure, whereas MR has proved success beyond any doubt.

Ranil is right,,,dont give into these cunning inefficient SLFP leaders who made us debt burdened and ruined the freedom and democracy of this country,,,MR like backboneless person taking oaths under Sirisena who defeated him without retiring in a decent manner,,people will teach them a lesson,,,

You can think of Ranil as you like, but he is the rightful Prime Minister and not this nefarious criminal.

Sad state of affairs. Maithree should never have done such low thing. He has projected that he is not capable of running the county. We all know the capacity of arrogance of RW. He should have stepped down and asked Sajith to take over the reigns. Even now

Mr.President has shown his true color to Sri Lankan including Tamils and the world. There is no need to prove that his good governance promises are tactic to convince people to vote for him. UN resolution is proven to be meaningless.
