I THINK 50 % OF THE BLAME SHOULD BE GIVEN TO GIRL'S PARENTS WHO SEND THIS LITTLE GIRL ALONE SHOPPING.

Are you serious? You pardon murderers.

Realisation comes late. Sunday, 29 May 2022 11:17 AM

Good gesture from our President who is hated by the people. You should have done this when innocent protesters were attacked by your govt thugs. It is useless you will never win the hearts of the people because they are facing death due to starvation.

Have you found the wholesale Easter killing? If so, when do you plan to hang the culprit(s)?

Bandu Sunday, 29 May 2022 06:28 PM

How about swift action for Lasantha and Thajudeen gruesome murders. No heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies for those.?

Maureen De Zilwa Sunday, 29 May 2022 06:48 PM

Only swift action in this case only ? Why ???

Sgt. Ratnayake murdered seven including a child in cold blood and you pardoned the convict.

swift action - Like how you recovered the stolen USD from Nirupama after you launched an investigation
