Declaring several areas as high-security zones (HSZ) in Colombo is certainly not advisable, as it may pave the way for another uprising of the people as they are more stressed - physically and mentally, former President and Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Maithripala Sirisena said.

Taking such decisions and pressurizing the people will induce the people to go against the government.

"With the pressure on people and everyone, including me, know how people are getting on with their lives these days with the current economic crisis," he said.

The government should have taken a decision to inform the public while relaxing them by showing the correct direction. The government should have explained to the people about what are the methods being adopted by them to ease the economic crisis while instructing state officials.

But the government is doing totally the opposite of what they should have done.

The former President claimed that both SWRD and Sirimavo Bandaranaike formed governments with progressive leftist parties and that they too followed the similar and mutually agreeable principles. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

First talk about the damage you have done to the country. Easter attack , Dec 2018 unconstitutional changing of Prime Minister, supporting Gotabaya to get elected as the President etc. Your actions in a big way were responsible for the economic down turn and resulting hardships people are facing today.

No one listens to this clown. We remember only too well your 52 day constitutional coup drama only too well, and how you gave the Rajapakse's oxygen and another life. We also remember the Easter bombing under you watch.

Average citizens do not care a damn if the government declare even100 HSZ. All they want is to live without anymore problems. It is the political parties who want to destabilize the country so they can come to power riding the misery of the people. Does anyone believe any of those political parties could bring the country back to normal overnight by organising demonstrations at this juncture?

This man is only provoking the people. It's best he keeps his mouth shut and bides his time. He'll not get elected anymore, so he better leave the scene before he gets ditched by his own party. From the time he was Minister of Health he was talking nonsense; going on and on about some marking on the cigarette pack. At lease, if he had a HSZ during his time as President he could have prevented the bomb attacks in April 3 years ago. No he will have to face court charges for his failures.

You all are very vice and during your time you just went around the globe with your family members and neglected your duties and allowed Ranil to involve in Bond scandal and some other powerful group organised a attack on churches and put the blame on Muslim youths which made that group to win the election in a grand way.

So, You did not get any position? You have to thank Ranil for your still lingering in politics. Ranil should have joined you in Singapore, which was your last trip.
