Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Chairman G.L.Peries today said that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe appeared to be taking the public democracy for a joke.

Speaking to the media at the Elections Secretariat he said when the prime minister was asked about the date when LG polls would be held he replied saying only God knows that. “The government has abducted the people’s civic right of electing members to the Provincial councils and Pradeshiya Sabhas” he alleged.

He also noticed that the government said they would hand over the Delimitation Report of Asoka Peries to Minister Faizer Musthapa who was not even in the country at that time.

Stressing his dissatisfaction over the government he further charged that the Prime minister led government’s drama has been exposed. (Thilanka Kanakarathna and Indika Sri Aravinda)

    Yes sir. The PM's behaviour is quite apparant now.

    In 2002 you played with PM, made the peace agreement with LTTE leader and later started to criticise it. So your type of play is better known

    Hi Mr Pieris it's high time for you to give up politics and rest with your boss. Now masses know who are the jokers. Please allow the democratically elected government to complete their term in office, and don't sabotage the good projects which are beneficial to masses, You can't fool us we know that your team is power greedy.. Hope this message will reach the so called joint opposition. Also don't forget that you all ruined the country's economy

    The man who sat silently in Parliament when Democracy was bulldozed by the 18th Amendment is now preaching its virtues.

    " PM playing with people’s democracy " - B___dy Hipycrite , What did this imbecile do when he as a mentor, to MR supported the amendment to allow MR to contest (as President) as many times he (MR) wishes. GLP sadly is suffering from AMNESIA . Best he keeps his trap shut.
