Dear Daily Mirror

What you have done today to highlight the level oppression in the country is truely amazing! I take my hat off to you!!

-2+19 # Aloka 2013-01-13 06:48

Over and over again facts are reconfirmed. Police is there not to protect the law abiding but he law breakers. Mr IGP- have you got any shame on you to lead a force like this???? Where in the world such things happen? It is not late even now to arrest them as they could be identified.

Who is he ? Protester or a thug ?

-10+247 # Janadeepa 2013-01-10 13:29

It is sad to see this. Policemen are just watching , do nothing to protect the law and order.

-11+183 # Faz 2013-01-10 14:59

Their duty is to protect thugs and criminal under MR regime coz their are ruling the country

-7+54 # janar 2013-01-10 18:28

Ha ha ha u r absolutely right

Are you mad he is Sri Lanka's most famous Baseball payer !

-7+116 # Observer 2013-01-10 14:28

These Thugs have got license to kill. It is a pity to see the Policeman keep on watching, supporting the Government.

-9+199 # Calistus Jayatilleke 2013-01-10 14:35

General Fonseka summed it all up very eloquently: these are the thugs sponsored by the highest in the land along with his brothers and hooligan ministers. These so called leaders will finally be left with only the thugs. Democracy in Sri Lanka has now taken a new meaning: "By the thugs, of the thugs and for the thugs". Shame, Shame.

Puppet Police.

Thanks to DM. The whole world can now see how the so called patriotic people (read "thugs") in Sri Lanka exercise their "sovereign": powers armed with attacking poles etc. A real shame, indeed.

-6+70 # Clifford 2013-01-10 16:21

Thank you to Daily Mirror for highlighting what was not possible by other news sites. We are indeed proud of you. I wish the whole of Sri Lanka can watch this video. It is very easy to point out who are behind organizing these so calls Idiotic Thugs

-12+35 # modaya 2013-01-10 16:24

the fittest will win the battle, even though you made comments based on your biased perceptions. No body could criticize the government as bunch of morons since, most of the legislatures are experienced and qualified legal experts. As the public, our task is to become enthusiastic spectators of the scenario whilst maintaining the impartiality. Also you could have real fun by watching "KIYANA KATHA and WATA NATHI KATA".

I am a Malaysian. The Daily Mirror has a done a good job. I am not anti-govt or pro-govt but i am with the protesters.

Long Live Chief Justice.!!!!

-5+34 # janar 2013-01-10 18:35

What do the policemen do? This is their Rajakarya;-)

-5+35 # Hamlet 2013-01-10 19:02

The Government is turning a blind eye to this type of thuggery. They are encouraging the people who are willing to resort to behaviour such as this to please the rulers, and get their rewards in kind and in positions of authority. The Government can then keep their two thirds majority and do as they please.
And they call it DEMOCRACY!

-5+32 # Prof Hemantha Wickra 2013-01-10 20:03

no blind eyes..its their own eyes!!

-6+40 # sunil edirisinghe 2013-01-10 19:23

Some Sri Lankans will still approve this.. we are unlucky to have such people in our country... brave men should overcome this immediately !

-4+9 # Up 2013-01-11 09:58

These people could have sent to the North during the war ? Could watch the real size of the real heroes .

Country ruled by thugs, what else do you expect from them

-3+10 # Gamarala 2013-01-12 12:25

It looks like the GOON Brigade is up and ready to cause mayhem on behalf of their leaders against law abiding citizens of this country. I dont see any police personnel around, who should take preventative measures and remove the sticks carried by this group. It looks like the present GO/SL is instigating the GOONS.

The isiots of government is silent after seeing the pics

-4+12 # Palitha 2013-01-12 13:11

From the vehicles in the background, you can guess where these thugs came from. All these vehicles are sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Development.

-2+9 # shifa 2013-01-12 18:08

To think that our people will vote for them again and again!!!
It is the voters and the useless opposition I blame.
