The protesters should be rounded up and forced to pay for the upkeep of the airport.

Lack of decorum does not seem to be problems any more. for Sri Lanka and her decision makers. Thus, SL may be the only country in the world that may use a dinner plate as a make-shit bed pan, or a Bhikkhu alms bowl as a trash can. If Anagarika Dharmapala was alive today he would have described the current Sri Lankan culture as something inundated in trashy administrators and canine vomit.Jayati Weerakoon

Now we can call it Mahinda Rajapaksa International Vee Port. Protesters may have no idea about this prestigious name.
