    Military is not trained on law and order. They are trained to kill. That is why we should not use the military for enforcing law and order. The fact that the defence secretary is defending the killing of the protester should make the people think. Being a military man himself he will defend the military not the people.

    Now it has come to a volatile situation in this country..and all citizens must carefully consider who should be their representative in parliament before they vote for next elections.

    i am ashamed to call myself a Sri Lankan. if that makes me a traitor, then be it. i will no longer tolerate the atrocities of the government and i will no longer tolerate the "patriots" who justify and stand by the nefarious acts carried out by the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime.

    No don't blame Mahinda Rajapakse. It's the goons in parliament who have gone trigger happy and power mad. They pass meaningless laws for obscure objectives that does no good to the economy except harm. MH's hands are tied because he is the head of a coalition and he needs the support of all types.

    Army's behavior should be condemned by all right thinking people.Those who shot unarmed people are cowards.Army's action,perhaps with orders from the govt,only give weight to the criticism that it violated human rights during the war.

    Saman Friday, 02 August 2013 01:36 PM

    Why didn't the Police use low casualty defensive weapons like rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons etc.
    Using live bullets on protesters is not the norm. People are already subjected to untold misery with unbearable high cost of living.
    Govt.with overburdened 225 MPs parliament should find solutions for peoples needs than wasting money on unending elections.

    We the citizens of Sri lanka are who elect president and others to govern the country ,to solve our problems and to carry forward the development work for the benefit of the masses .
    Yes during the election time that is what they say too .
    But the pathetic thing is after winning and coming to power they think that the country belongs to them !
