    It was the president himself who appointed this stupid man called hemasiri fernando, when the people who voted for the president demanded for Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka.

    I hope you understand that you are the head of Government as well as the Ministers in charge of law and order. So what are you going to against your conduct?

    Neither you nor PM didn’t fulfil the responsibilities. You two also should resign.

    Mr. President people of this country are watching you and lost faith on you you have no self respect and no integrity please remember Sri Lankan's are not fools and you cannot play the fool anymore

    Why should IGP resign? Police under him within 24-48 hours ,tracked down members of the killer team, got vital information about killers and surfaced lot of information about their link. IGP is so far doing a good job of work to have the country safe and secure, unlike President's secretary.

    Thomas Ranger Friday, 26 April 2019 02:43 PM

    Mr. President, its 48 hours and counting since the so- called Defense Secretary has gone and the IGP should be before the end of this day. Are you going to replace these jobs with competent men post haste or wait for the next spate of bombs to explode taking more innocent lives.

    You should be the first to take responsibility the mismanagement of this country and the negligence that cause unfortunate deaths of scores of families and loved ones. Instead of placing blame on others, do us ALL a favour and resign! You will NOT be missed for sure! You are an embarrassment to this Country. There is NO leadership....everyone seems to be running the show and has an opinion.....what a mess!

    Are you knowingly ignored the warnings thus paving the way for GOTAS popularity. We know you are hand in glove MR. People have lost faith in you after the October fiasco. Please resign now, instead finding Scapegoats.
