None of the protesters look like starving, well built Gota goons who voted in 2019 for country's demise.

These protests and Mahinda's statement have the same characteristics. Rajapsksa mafia has always used and started sabotage.and destruction to achieve their goal. But they have no other plans to take the country forward. JVP is also the same. They bankrupt this country to the lowest level. But I'm still cooking for power. What a disaster.

All these unions were with Rajapakshas and ruined the organization . Some of these fellows bare board members taking decisions without any experience or qualification. Now there are crying.

These clueless people should be protesting against these institutions making losses. Why aren't they protesting against that?. Protest and tell them to cut soaring costs and make a profit. Why don't you protest against politicians putting more and more people to these institutions making them unprofitable?. Billions of taxpayers funds are pumped to these useless places year after year. Protest against that. You don't even know that you pay for those.

Privatisation will be the best step to get Sri Lanka to prosper. Western world many institutions have been privatised showing excellent economic growths. It’s only the lazy politically appointed lot with no proper educational qualification for the posts protest.

Look at the guys, none look like they pay any taxes, just come to work, drink tea, gossip, do daily grocery shopping , have lunch and then take a nap and then go early to catch a train back home. And we have to pay taxes to pay their salaries

Sri Lankans are now paying taxes and every cent should be accounted for. Furthermore, Sri Lanka is now begging from other countries for funds. One of the reason is the misuse of tax payers funds by government organization. MPs and Ministers chits for jobs for their catchers will also vanish Privatization of the government organizations is one way for Sri Lankans to live with dignity. .

JVP feel that goodwill of the govt is going up due to the people centered development strategies of the govt, so that it will affect the mentality of the people who were brainwashed by them against the government. And that JVP use protests as a tool to keep their members from joining hand with other parties. The reality is that the people going behind them do not vote for them but for other parties.
