We can now expect lockdown of Colombo to avoid further protests thereby risk of COVID19. Don't ask for unnecessary trouble. Just leave this matter to the Parliament and Courts to decide.

Why do you think they waited all this time taking a big risk?

Why protest now. Were the people in a coma when they had the opprtunity at ballot. The present gvoernment contested with a pledge to change the constitution. Note: i am an independent thinker, NO supporter of any political party.
