What right does the President have to call the National Security Council without the Election Commissioner being present? This is an election period! Is Ranil planning another Aragalaya if he loses the election?

Elections-related security matters should be handled no one else but the EC, and only by the EC. There should be a clear separation of National security affairs and EC affairs. President is a major candidate, yet he's the head of the security council. And the defence minister is a major player of a political party, yet all the security forces are under his purview. This is a huge contradiction which should be immediately addressed.

The public upholds the law and order but it is the politicians who brakes them.

This is a PLOT, an imposition of curfew will be in place , to change ballot boxes to rig votes that voters voted for their preferred candidates. This is undoubtedly an American command and a tactic to bring Ranil by force as the President of Sri Lanka without the wishes of the very people who are not supporting Ranil.
