SJB Parliamentarian Harin Fernando today said that if no one was willing to lead the country, Harsha De Silva could be made a caretaker President for 6 months and the country could be handed over to him.

Speaking in Parliament, Harin said,  today his children were ashamed to call their father an MP and all opposition political party leaders must unite to achieve the people's demands.

He also called on these leaders to leave aside their personal political objectives and join together for the sake of the people. 

Harin further said considering the present national crisis he will not take his salary for one year and will not eat in the Parliament canteen.

    HOW ABOUT OUR ALL TIME IDIOT ( donkey)

    C.pinto Thursday, 07 April 2022 06:16 AM

    How about accepting the finance minister post in a national government first. Do your duty by deeds not by your mouth only.

    RanjithT Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:14 PM

    What rubbish is this.This fellow should be ashamed to be a MP for he has no knowledge or understanding of our constitution. No wonder his children are ashamed of him not because he is a MP but his head is full of straw.

    C Fernando Wednesday, 06 April 2022 10:59 PM

    You're a constitutional expert is it? Please do enlighten us.

    Janith Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:35 PM

    Sounds a good plan... Will the king and his boot lickers will even allow a such a thought????? For the love of God just give it a try nothing to lose!!! We are in worst possible situation as a county economical and mentally

    Sokrates Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:35 PM

    Dr Harsha De Silva would be the perfect leader. He is a great ecconomist and a gentleman.

    Triple X Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:38 PM

    You deserve to be the president and Harsha as Finance Minister.

    Sam Silva Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:39 PM

    How can you appointment a caretaker government or a president where the the present president is not stepping down as well as the government.

    Mgj Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:40 PM

    I second it

    Kikazaru Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:45 PM

    This shows Harin's knowledge of the depth the Sri Lanka economy has fallen to. Has he read the IMF report? What can be done in 6 month for the economy in tatters and on the verge of bankruptcy.

    Saran Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:52 PM

    Harsha is a good option

    MADUKRM22 Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:54 PM

    Good choice ......he's one of the best politicians in the country today.

    Mandayan Wednesday, 06 April 2022 05:59 PM

    Why?

    sam Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:02 PM

    Answer is to print money if required and have a presidential and a general election at the same time within the next 3 months

    vithura Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:32 PM

    Print money, why haven't we learnt anything from an inflation of 55% by doing exactly that and make people even poorer than they are at present!

    CareforLanka Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:03 PM

    Sam, Print money???? Are you staying next to Cabraals's mansion? bull shit..

    samudi perera Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:06 PM

    can printed rupees bring paper and fuel ??? can it provide electricity? Harin is correct Harsha de Silva is a good solution at least temporarily

    Ravi Soysa Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:10 PM

    Excellent man. Capital Markets, Foreign Banks and western nations will look at us very differently.

    Ma Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:15 PM

    No one has the magic wand now and unless the west bail out, no chance of coming out of this mess! The west will not help until Rajapakses are there at the thrones!

    Chris Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:27 PM

    Fairy tales bro. Tell everyone to put aside differences and form a caretaker government for a year. Cannot afford an election right now, I think the last election cost around 5 billion

    Hector Perera Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:33 PM

    This is an excellent

    KD Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:40 PM

    Harsha

    Jaya Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:42 PM

    Mad person naming a mad person.

    Jayaweera Appadura Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:52 PM

    No other Gonas in the parliament?

    J c v michael Wednesday, 06 April 2022 06:56 PM

    All 225 must go and never be allowed to contest elections

    Ganji Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:00 PM

    agree. listen to Harin and Rasamanikkam's speeches. We need to find 223 more like these 2 guys.

    Love lanka Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:12 PM

    Is this a joke ? You are biggest crook ! Haren When you are the telecom Minister do yoh Remeber thé bribes you took from HUAWEI , ZTE ? We wouldn’t be having crappy internet … also tell Me where you guys added 1MW of power to the grid ! Jokers …

    Andy Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:38 PM

    Is this guy off his head. Why didn't Ranil W give him a minister portfolio during his Yahapalanaya govt for he knows this Harsha is a load of crap...

    Jacob Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:39 PM

    Someone who failed A/L at school as Finance Minister?

    Ha Ha Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:40 PM

    To set up the Volkswagen factory and bring Tesla too to produce electric cars

    Kachal Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:41 PM

    Why not SF.

    Google Balloon Wednesday, 06 April 2022 07:42 PM

    Harin if you are ashamed resign and go home. We don't need these gimmics

    Lakmal Suresh Wednesday, 06 April 2022 10:44 PM

    Another failed expired product.

    Alam Wednesday, 06 April 2022 10:49 PM

    Good option, looking at all the others in the list. Might work. But Sri Lanken people a stupids. They won’t agree, they want a gobaya like jarapaksa. That’s their fate.

    Sanjeeva R Thursday, 07 April 2022 06:22 AM

    Harsha would be the best candidate for the job not just for 6 months but as long as he is required to repair the extensive damage done and to give the citizens some hope and a semblance of normality.

    sils Thursday, 07 April 2022 06:48 AM

    Harin have you been sleeping? The people are not in favour of all 225.

    mp Thursday, 07 April 2022 08:26 AM

    This is ignorance, not a statement made with intelligence.

    Hubert Congreve Thursday, 07 April 2022 08:35 AM

    You are 100% correct, he is the right candidate for President's seat.

    Quiz Mama Thursday, 07 April 2022 08:37 AM

    OK, if it is given to Harsha will he get the Petrol/Diesel, LP Gas, Milk food, Fertilizer and reduce the cost of all essential food items? What is the guarantee?

    Hubert Congreve Thursday, 07 April 2022 08:39 AM

    Well he (Harsha) deserves it. But he should have new young Professionals to assist him not the old sleepy faces.

    Jalal Perera Thursday, 07 April 2022 08:40 AM

    Harsha is the Man... Hats off.

    Positive citizen Thursday, 07 April 2022 09:05 AM

    High time the president and the Ministers go to the people with their begging bowl for forgiveness and mercy. Not to other countries. President must make a public address accepting defeat. Ask that he be allowed to correct within a care taker government. The president does not need a rowdy in Johnston to speak to the citizens on his behalf. Will the president deny that Jonny is a rowdy??

    RL Dissanayke Thursday, 07 April 2022 11:45 AM

    Now the public has learned and may accept this, yet the one man saviour ideology is part of the problem. Also, the Paksas wont and we have a Sanga with attitudes beyond even the Lord Buddha. So when the spiritual head is rotten it unlikely to fix the body politic. What was the criteria for selection from the first election?? - So we need a system change or learn to relish being stuck in the mud.

    Martin Milton Thursday, 07 April 2022 04:02 PM

    Harsha should be appointed Finance Minister and Hon FM Sarath Fonseka as President. However the 'el stupidos' in leadership will not realise this! MM
