• I have no respect for most of the leaders of our country

Former Sri Lankan cricket legend Roshan Mahanama yesterday urged people to keep up the pressure and show their disappointment in a very peaceful manner without harming themselves and damaging any property of the country.   

 “As a true patriot of this country, I urge everyone to keep the pressure up and show your disappointment in a very peaceful manner without harming yourselves and damaging any property of the country.”  

“Since I have no respect for most of the leaders of our country, I’m of the opinion that we have to come together to hold our leaders accountable for their actions. I request every citizen irrespective of race, religion or political background to come forward to join the protests,” he tweeted.  

The former legend also joined a peaceful public protest in Colombo a few days ago against the prevailing situation in the country.
