There are no extremists there. All Sri Lankans are in pretty bad shape. Extremists are governing the country. Its time we all save this country from this govt.

It seems extremists are in Presidential Media Division, not else where. Silly, that PMD can't understand the situation.

Rajapaksas are the real terrorists. Army should take over the country. Then hang all rajapaksa politicians.

General public has been turned into extremists by a family of terrorists...If you can't feed and provide the basics to your family in your country, then the country needs extremists to exterminate the terrorists.

When you fail in your duty it's quite natural this sort of uprising occurs. So simply don't try to implement the old tales of putting the blame on extremists. In this country all are extremists so you can destroy all of us and protect your family and stooges of your Royal family.

What a pathetic statement! Are you that blind to what is happening in the country? It was a peaceful demonstration until someone on the other side decided to change the equation.

@Raymon- you are absolutely right. Excellent humour for all of us. This is what the terrorist government would have said.

Try to realized that you people have brought in so much suffering on people of this country. Almost all the population in this country including who voted you are suffering tremendously. Their basic essentials/requirements have not been provided to them. Their lives have gone to dogs.

Gota, you know how to resolve this; Defence Sec Kamal knows well: with multi barrels, cluster bombs with Mic and Kfirs you know what to do as we did in North. Don’t allow them to challenge might Rsjapaksas!

Whatever the situation is, if, even by mistake JVP wins the forthcoming election, the country will fell into more worse situation than this. JVP believes in violence.

What a statement from a irresistible president, this shows his true idiocity of him. My request to the public do not damage public property, it is a loss for the public, show the anger on the politicians property, let them feel the pain of looting public money
