It would be convenient for people if the Government announced September 5 as a public holiday in order to reduce the congestion that could be caused by the protest campaign organised by the Joint Opposition (JO), the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) said.
The Janabalaya Kolambata, Anti-Government protest campaign organised by the Joint Opposition (JO) is scheduled to be held on September 5 in Colombo.
Addressing a news briefing, PHU leader Udaya Gammanpila said the employees working in Colombo would be highly inconvenienced owing to this massive protest.
“We don’t like to see people getting inconvenienced because of this protest, which is done against the inefficiencies of the Government,
“If the Government would not make the day a holiday, we request the heads of the companies in Colombo to give their employees a holiday on that particular day,” Gammanpila said. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

These are our politicians. A lost man day can not be got back. If such a disturbance to day to day working of the country results by such a protest and if they care 2 cents for the county they should do it without interrupting the day to day life of the people. Never vote for these parasites.

Why don't some film director give him the role of a comedian in his film.
Buddhika Perera Wednesday, 22 August 2018 07:52 PM
As JO is not sure about the crowd, they think more people will join if it is a holiday.

After using the freedom to protest to it's maximum now this guy wants Government to help their act. Other than Mahinda who else in this party could rule the country. All they do is having a ride on Mahinda.

You make the day inconvenient to us, we will make you and your party inconvenient and suffer during the elections day

Srilanka has enough holidays compared to other countries.better keep your protest on Sunday to avoid public inconvenience if you are really caring for public.

If one of my employees do not report for work because of the "JO" strike, I would cut him salary by saying he could ask for compensation from the "JO".

Disrupting the work of the people’s government is a crime. The term used ‘anti government’ is unpatriotic and treacherous.
Patriot Thursday, 23 August 2018 12:34 PM
Is the JO parallel government?
Siri de Alwis Thursday, 23 August 2018 01:12 PM
These people are elected to serve the country and the nation. Instead they want to strike and destroy our economy.
