I'm not an trying to be mean here. But, over the decades politicians have been promoting uneducated candidates to be selected to the parliament and now the Karma hits them back. This is a pathetic situation.

From all the unconstitutional and unlawful acts and incidents since 26 Oct clearly shows the individual rogue politicians and political parties harbouring rogues and thugs.

All this violence to protect a rogue government and the rogues of the JO headed by Rajapakse family from conviction and jail.

Were these "Miris Kudu" people behind the cigarette van and ATM money carrying van robberies, years back? In those attacks too "Miris Kudu" was used.
