Why waste time probing when you have evidence and proof in your so called files.

This is what happens when you allow a 42% become president with inferiority syndrome. Trying to score cheap political points increase his popularity. He has forgotten he couldn’t even get 5% of votes in past elections.

We have been waiting for the justice for many years. How many different leaders ruled during this period. We have the faith in this government that the murderers will get the higest punishment who ever did these brutal murders. This will give some relief for their love ones. How about the inocent Richard de Soyza‘s killing.

Dear President: If you are going to do something, there is no need to announce it now. Just do it as soon as possible. The announcement of what you are going to do just before the Parliamentary Election, shows that you are trying to get an electoral advantage and also give the opportunity for culprits to take evasive actions such as going abroad, bribing witnesses and getting rid of important evidence etc.

Slow down Mr. President! If you keep pledging more and have to dig deeper, you might have to go back to 87-88 era as well!

The same mantra just before elections. This man is a people pleaser who is capable of melting hearts of immature, uneducated people in this country.

At Dambulla you said that in the next few days there will many revelations of the cases which were swept under the carpet. Was this to coincide with the Parliamentary elections on 14th November 2024. It is very difficult for the public to understand whether what you are saying is the truth. Now look at the rice problem although you had discussions with the rice millers who vouched that they will make available rice at the controlled price nothing has happened. Also after one mont of being in office we thought like hot hoppers that Easter Sunday mastermind will be revealed with his accomplices. Now we see the Cardinal and his spokesman are resting without any intimation about this aspect. This is all drama until the elections are over after that it will be the same thing as the past.

Good move. Please also probe the killings of Premakirthi de Alwis, Vijaya Kumaratunga, Richard de Zoysa, Lionel Jayathilleke and scores of other officers and ordinary citizens during the terror period of 1988-89. I suppose 1971 is too far away.

Dear President, I am sure you will do your best. Remember the Rajapakses also. They have underworld connection and they will do their best to eliminate you. So be careful.

Why just a few people? What about the thousands of surrendered to the forces who just disappeared. Well, they were shot, killed and cremated in the jungle without allowing any witnesses. This cannot be erased at all. Generations will remember the 30 year war and the cries of mothers whose children disappeared after being handed over to the forces.
