Do not allow them to hijack the government the way they did for aragalaya. The country will end up in total destruction.

Don't these people have anything else to do? We are struggling to get out of a mess these guy's created by voting wrong people (in the name of national security and so called system change) now that something is happening to an otherwise 'gone' nation! These guys starting another daft 'aragalaya'. Check who is funding them? Cause they all seem to be broke loosers pushing for a general election to try and milk an already dead cow!

Very good actions by the police. Now start arresting one by one and put them in prison and feed them at our costs in order to safeguard one man and one family.

This is why Human rights watch has slammed Sri Lanka as one of the three countries of human rights violators in the world, recind PTA and release the protesters.

This is too much police action! Any real, energised protest is seems always thoroughly crushed by our over-old/elderly leaders. No point this suppression, because this will lead to youth wanting to take up arms.

Our country and our people cannot be shackled in this way. If the government DO NOT understand this and continue to suppress our people there will be chaos and blood shed. RW please don’t do it. Go to the country and explain the country’s economic situation and they may understand

Will see how long and how many people you can arrest. Next time children under 12years will all participate in the protests and show the world what sort of a democratic dictator we have in this country.

The modern day idi amin, ranil rajapaksha has unleashed his kennels on the educated youth of this country. He cannot do this for long. Justice will be done sooner than later.

Chaos will continue until the authorities start to do the right things by removing undemocratic/anti social laws and investigate the assets of all politicians. If not enough man power enlist the retired officers who excelled in investigations

This nonsense has to stop. The only way JVP can come to power is to use youth in arms struggle, murder and violent protest. 35 of the votes can not rule the country.

Peratugami's led by JVP trying their best to block the IMF relief package. They know the package will ease the misery people are going through. It is easy to get people on the streets when they are going through untold hardships, and grab power in the process. Is it the solution?

Anyone protesting against the injustices to SL citizens by pohottuwa criminal politicians will be thrown in jail. This is the reality in SL under a spineless president whose main objective is to protect his criminal masters.

The weakling president quivering in his shoes in the presence of ordinary citizens. He is better suited as a security guard outside the Rajapaksa residences.

What next? only he and his criminal friends can be outdoors after 7.00pm? What a pathetic excuse for a human.

Mr. President, you are the most despised person in Sri Lanka. Now kindly do the honorable thing and hold a general election , to rid the country of a bunch of low life criminal politicians like yourself.

The protector of criminals trying to arrest his way out of infamy. Remember after a general election the Rajapaksas won't be around to spring you out of Wellikada.
