The one who sat on presidential chair, the one who opened the gate, the one who jumped in to the pool are all arrested. But those who robbed, murdered, plundered the country, took bribes and kickbacks are all free! Ranil W Rajakasa’s definitions; you can loot, rob and take bribes, that’s 'democracy'. If you protest to save the country that’s 'fascism', and they should be locked up.

What are they going to charge him with? They will have to arrest and charge every person who waltzed through the Presidents' residence and swam in his pool! Ranil and cohorts just back off - you are showing your true colors to the nation and the onlookers all over the world.

This continue arresting shows something wrong with Aragalaya or it’s half way done.Anyway our inquisitive is why the police,judiciary and highly active civil action groups are not taking any actions to punish Central bank rogues,suger,gas and edible oil tax evaders, so far no actions are taken to punish,who plundered state coffers, it’s not fair to police,run behind sprats leaving criminal sharks along

If only the police worked this hard in catching the real crimes Sri Lanka would not be suffering right now

Only because he sat on the president's chair led bloody Ranil to sit on president's chair. As usual Ranil's short term memory loss takes over his conscience.

Okay, how about those fellows who were on video sitting on Speakers chair and breaking and damaging everything and even pouring water into the sponge of the speakers chair? When are they going to get arrested? Isn't that more important public property and a travesty to the highest temple of this country, the parliament? Yes, arrest the guy who sat on President Chair or Commode, but more important arrest the maggots who damaged the parliament too.

What a pathetic government is this, which has the citizens of their country, who exercise the right to demonstrate against corruption politicians, who have led the country to the abyss, arrested for rudiculousness !!! At the free election, Ranil and his ilk will be swept away !!!

Can we first arrest the people who sat on that chair and took all the wrong decisions for the country, a complete waste of taxpayers funds and a mockery of the phrase justice is blind.

Only the man who sat on the President's chair is arrested but not the man who sat for about two and half years and made this country bankrupt will not be arrested.

If the "man" who sat in Gota's chair was arrested then the current Prez should also be arrested because he has NEVER got the people's mandate at the last elections.

Come on Royal. You can do better than this. Wednesday, 03 August 2022 05:13 PM

This is what Royalists (RW) were taught to do. Steal or depart!

The time he sat on the chair, then president ran away and nobody was in charge,so it’s just a chair,so what’s wrong sitting on it,but it’s wrong, why guards allowed him to get in and permitted to sit, then arrest them too
