We are great full for these persons who sacrificed their time and safety to safeguard the good governess of this country. Truth triumphs and truth prevails however much facing all attempts being made to silence those who speak of it.

These men of Purawesi Balaya are those really love the country in a democratic way. Trying to silence them is going against Freedom of Speech and use of power against independent voices of the country.

We know they re very educated and highly honourable citizens of this country. They were in the forefront of bringing Yahapaanala government into power. So this is nothing but witch hunting!
