Veteran cinema artiste Jackson Anthony in his message extending support to the ‘non-partisan youth struggle’, expressed hope that it will not be another defeated insurrection but a triumphant revolution.

In a Facebook post, Anthony said that he has been in a deep political silence since 2016 due to the frustration over local politics. “I have been a non-partisan artist since, then,” he stated.

"I have been in complete political silence since 2016 and not voicing since then. I didn't contribute through my word or a penny to nurture the 6.9 million (voters). Hence, I have silenced my voice since 2016 and it was due to the frustration(in politically)."

"I have been a non-partisan artist since then and therefore, I sincerely hope that this  youth struggle, which has no political affiliations, shouldn't be another deflated balloon, but a revolution coupled with success" he added.(SJ)

    Jackson Anthony, you are one of the few greatest actors with the calibre of Kamal Hassan. But you put yourself down to a racist because of Rajapakses.

    THIS IS NOT A PROTEST INITIATED BY POLITICIANS OR A POLITICAL PARTY. THIS IS CLEAR VOICE OF THE STRUGGLING PEOPLE SENDING A LAUD MESSAGE TO #GOTA GO HOME#

    Ranjith Friday, 15 April 2022 06:45 PM

    The sins you have committed by uttering pack of lies to promote these vultures can’t be washed of easily.

    Sri Friday, 15 April 2022 07:01 PM

    Next stage is to include all academics; medical professionals; civil servants; and all sections of departments and entire countries stand with people .All trade unions should help them out

    There is one big question. If you send the government home, who is going to replace them?

    Bandu Saturday, 16 April 2022 10:40 AM

    Show real repentance by giving back to Treasury that money you made with Rajapakses to advertise Hambantota Port.

    Sammy Saturday, 16 April 2022 10:59 AM

    Jackie boy hope you are not a two faced conniver.

    Gura Saturday, 16 April 2022 11:53 AM

    We hope you go to the hell you deserve for stoking racist fires based on fake stories.

    Guilty conscious, hurts ? You were loud enough and more before 2016,where all took root,and you were very much a part of that.those Sins can't be washed Away so easily so soon,not only You, the generations will repay the father's sins for sure. All know what made you Silent since 2016, Sins have a Price Tag,so it's better you be Silent for good, and do what you know better. It's Not easy to earn a Good name and it's Not Easy maintaining the good name. It just takes no time to Loose it.
