    what's the point of discussing it with NPP, it's their members that are eternally on the streets protesting against something or the other. As long as do not work hard and be productive, and stop expecting everything for free, there will be poverty

    It is hilarious that UNDP holds discussions about the increasing poverty in Sri Lanka with a group of people who have done nothing other than disrupting Sri Lankan economy. I don't recall any positive action taken by JVP, but protesting against any and every development project or agreement that every government tries to implement, with the assistance of their unions. Perhaps they are discussing how to increase the poverty in Sri Lanka further?

    Complete overhauling of the system is what the people expected through Aragalaya and so on. NPP must keep in mind crucially!
