President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has directed parliament authorities not to hold the guard of honour at today’s ceremonial opening of the Parliament.
It is traditional to hold the ceremonial guard of honour for the President at the ceremonial opening of the Parliament session.
It is reported that the rehearsals for the session have been cancelled on the directive of the President and he has instructed the authorities to hold the ceremony in a simple manner.
The President has also asked that no horse-riding groups be used for the event.(Dayasili Liyanage)

A great leader indeed! A good example for those who want all the pageants, bells and whistles even for opening a bridge. Cutting down on government expenditure should be done at any cost. Wothin one year, SL will be a much better place.

Your Excellency is becoming a model par excellence for all of us to emulate. You attire is normal etc and you prefer everything to be done without any show-off. I do really appreciate your minimalistic approach.

Very nice. Very good and very responsible.

Well done President. You are a true patriot of the country born and bred at Ruhuna which produced great leaders. Do away with all "unnecessary" activities we did for the last 72 years which never brought any good to us. as an Anandian I am delighted you are following the teachings of great Teachers like Dr.Gunapala Malalasekera, L.H. Mettananda, P de S. Kularatne, Rev. Kotagama Vachissara, D.W Rajapakse and many more. We wish you the blessings of the "Triple Gem" always.

Good step. Country doesn't want show off. We need action and commitment. Gota is doing the right thing. Keep the independent day celebrations to a low key event. Can we really celebrate being independent. We are more dependent on foreign loans than ever before.
