From yesterday's protest we saw a parliamentarian as an organizer, he could speak these issues in the house, he is paid by the state. It's a shame, what are these guys trying to do.

Very good. Arrest the leaders and charge them for contempt of court. SITAM is legal "legally ".

We heard "Murders" when it was the previous government.We hear "Protest" when it is the present government.

@ FinMin - You will have to bring an interim budget to increase expenditure for tear gas...

These liabilities are a big nuisance to the general public and they are pawns in the hands of JVP who keeps exploiting to achieve political advantage via DM Android App

Keep it up. As long as the medical students don't speak out against private tuitions and private medical practice their protests are pure hypocrisy.
