Water to cool down hot heads, hydrate or disperse crowds. Either way water is a valuable and beneficial resource. A good choice. Better than sugary drinks.

In SL politics we see this kind of protests and how the Governments retaliated. All are the same

Such a waste of money spent on organizing buses and all that public money used for tear gas and water canons. Would have been better if all that money was spent on agriculture and small renewable energy projects.

These jokers are trying to lock horns with a man who's worked in parliament for 50 years and is a jack of all trades.

Unprofessional Execution of a Protest Tuesday, 30 January 2024 05:20 PM
Just a stupid show to the public with no out come. Purposely inform of a protest today so police will be around to break it up. They can’t even get this protest right

Poor show by SJB. Protest sponsored by Mariks and Sirasa became a failure Aragalaya. Another one just like the previous one with Sajith turned back.

Excellent. This is what needs to be done when hooligans break the law. Arrest Sajith bring charges against him for breaking the law. These CARDBOARD SANDOs must be voted out.
What contribution have they made to the country?

Sajith should wear a belt to save his pants from falling down when he attends protests like this.
