Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Chairman Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka yesterday pledged to build up a giant political force to defeat the government and called for people’s support for the same.
Addressing the crowds at a protest held against the skyrocketing cost of living with the increase of essential goods, Fonseka said people should gather around a vibrant opposition force that would be formed if they want their day to day issues resolved. We will be building a giant political force and we ask the people to remain with us,” he said.
“Prices of essential items such as milk food are increased for the benefit of racketeers.we will fight these racketeers,” he added. SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara said his party will hold island wide protests against the rising cost of living.
People were carrying placards and gas cylinders made out of cardboard while a firewood stove was lit to signify that people can no longer afford to use gas for cooking purposes.(Yohan Perera)

Sir! You ended the war. Likewise, we hope you will end the prevailing poverty also and give us a relief from our sufferings.

This government should be defeated there is no doubt about it but SJB is not the alternative to govern the country. We need a new set of young and educated team to take SL forward and the corrupted old brigade should be sent home.

WE NEED "GENUINE" NON-CORRUPT LEADERSHIP followed by GENUINE REPRESENTATIVES OF "THE PEOPLE"; Just changing Governments will NOT address our issues. Change at least 220 of the 225...
