    never too late

    Pukka Sahib Wednesday, 06 October 2010 07:35 AM

    What a GIMMICK! This is not to save SF, but to save the dying UNP at the expense of SF's skin.

    too little, too late

    Bernard Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:43 AM

    WE know what Karuna did, we know what Pilayan did and KP as well but what is on the charge sheet for the Gen. Fonseka

    Bandaraa. Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:48 AM

    Another bankrupt politician who has lost all the previous elections like his leader Ranil . This guy do not have a vote base.

    gamini Tuesday, 05 October 2010 08:09 AM

    Probably it is bit late for anything now !!!!

    Ranjan Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:30 AM

    This is no wastage of time. We have to everything to save the man who saved our mother land from terrorists. For those who have forgotten I like to remind you , that about 15 months ago there was a man called Prabhakaran who was asking 1/3rds of the country for him and hsi fellowers. It was this general who saved whole Sri lanka from the terrorists.

    Each individual is responsible for doing something to save our four star general.

    most of the followers of SF don't realize the true face of UNP and JVP, once I read on a Chennai daily, a conversation RW had with the editor of the news paper on his way back from Delhi to Colombo, there he had strongly criticized the behavior of SF for the amusement of editor , RW just using this to avoid party issues but these poor fellows don't realize it ...!!!!

    Dheen Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:02 AM

    Hats off to Wimal Weerawansa who initiated this noble project. I am sure the President will give some water and thereafter release SF.

    Senkadagala Putha Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:13 AM

    If UNP was stronge enough opposition would have organize a messive rally.. atlease at this stage Ranil should appoint Sajith to give leadership for this demontration...

    Senkadagala Putha Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:09 AM

    Ranil & Somawansa only put SF into trouble..

    knight Rider Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:06 AM

    who pays these people's salaries to waste time like this ?

    almas alom Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:06 AM

    alom

    give him saline for 24 hour.....

    siva Tuesday, 05 October 2010 07:01 AM

    This is sathyagraha not a fast, so what about Maliban and stuff.

    Dammika Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:45 AM

    Well done UNP...

    pwc Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:42 AM

    Why not do a sathyagraha to save UNP from Ranil ?

    AZ Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:39 AM

    Maliban - pls reserve stocks of Lemon puff in the next few days for this noble cause

    Nihal Amarasekera Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:29 AM

    Sensing release of SF a distinct possibility; clamouring for political credit; sure jvp will follow suite.True love and political love is different.

    chamara Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:15 AM

    Here we go another Satyagraha - you had one in front of UN, another on top of an iron structure at viharamahadevi park now at the independence square.

    What's the bet this would not serve the purpose not because there's anything wrong with the cause but because protests on this nature have lost its meaning thanks to weerawansa.

    Fayad Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:10 AM

    Please no party or individual agenda we have to come-out as a common opposition.
    Party & individual agenda of others only got SF to prison.

    Jeevan Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:07 AM

    UNP has to come up with an innovative strategic plan to liberate General SF. old-fashioned one man shows such as sathyagraha will not serve the purpose. Please, think innovatively and get the support of the civil society movements including other opposition parties.

    Monkey Mask Tuesday, 05 October 2010 06:03 AM

    Master Ranil playing the game superbly .....!!!!
