Ranil Basil Rajapaksa united party is worried it will show the poor attendance at their rally and the massive attendance for the NPP.

Govt.was waiting till 31st midnight to prohibit the drone cameras so that the actual facts will not come out from the following day's rally,perhaps fearing the insult to Govt.

King Kekille's ruling grant permission only for the ruling party rallies and ban the use of drones at the SJB and NPP rallies. That way people will only see what the ruling party and its allies want the people to see. People are still fools aren't they?

This regime is now suffering from severe enochlophobia. It knows very well that one political party will be outstanding amongst the others as far as crowds are concerned. This year, more than ever before, the crowds they draw will be far greater than all the others combined.

Under what law is this being banned? I think photographing in a public venue is not restricted by law. It doesn't matter whether the camera is hand carried, mounted on a vehicle or carried aloft a drone.

You can stop flying the drones but you can’t stop the massive crowds moving in to NPP rallies
