There is no point in getting teargassed. There is a simpler solution, every night from 7 pm to 10 pm all household should shut their lights off and come onto the road in front of their homes and sit on the road. If all the households do this Police cannot attack them.

Nothing can stop this massive support for the JVP. All the steps taken by the weak Ranil rajapaksa government will be futile. Ranil must be quivering in his shoes when he sees the gigantic crowds.

Ranil and the rajapaksas must be terrified of this uprising. I am sure the rajapaksas would have renewed their US passports.

Government has no money but it spends freely to crush democracy. IMF must take note of these

The Police Chiefs keep saying to show dissatisfaction at the election. And then Ranil doesn't allow elections due to 'lack of funds'. Where should people go?
