Colombo, April 21 (Daily Mirror) - A tense standoff unfolded outside the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) headquarters on Darley Road in Colombo 10, as a group attempting to enter the party building was met with resistance from the police.

Tempers flared as the authorities obstructed the entry, leading to a tense atmosphere in the vicinity.

Adding to the intrigue, Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe was appointed by a faction of the party as the Acting Chairman of the SLFP, further fuelling speculation and interest in the ongoing developments within the party.

Who in the right mind would support these imbeciles?

Stupid Dreamers only Support these Old fools Sunday, 21 April 2024 02:57 PM

Exactly. Only the stupid and dreamers are backing them. Hope the majority will throw them out once and for all. This misery can’t go on with these morons running the government.

The message is very clear. How can a party that cannot manage its own internal affairs, manage the affairs of a country? Throw these scoundrels out of the parliament for good at the next general elections.

Police should withdraw and let these imbecils kill each other. Natural culling of the undesirebles.

Has Dealdasa joined hands with these thugs? Now will Avant Guard be brough in as reinforcements using connections?

Dolly Dias Sunday, 21 April 2024 10:22 PM

These are the idiots who want to govern the country. Strangely enough, some Sri Lankans will vote for these idiots as well. As a result, poor mother Lanka will continue to deteriorate even further. Dolly
