It would have been Buddhist to see beneficiaries of this act to be the poorest of the poor, street children, beggars, homeless old people who sleep on the street etc... What we see on these pictures are persons who can afford and even shameless policemen.

I am surprised to note that there are still people in Sri Lanka who insult police officers who bought those lunch packets. There is nothing wrong in it as long as they made the payment as no restrictions were made to the government servants. Who ever insulted them looking at this picture should understand that government servants struggle and undergo difficulties to maintain their families. Anyone insulting those police officers for nothing should be only ashamed of them selves

A worthy act by the prime minister. Many people will bless you silently.
