Those who would participate in tomorrow’s protests should be considered traitors, an MP said today.

UNP MP Vajira Abeywardene told a media briefing that everyone who participates in tomorrow’s protest should be considered traitors as they will be playing a role in precipitating the country’s economic crisis.

“Sri Lanka has managed to achieve some kind of stability with prices of essential goods being reduced to some extent and the pickup of the tourism sector. However, the country may lose all these achievements with such protests,” he said.

“Some political groups have been misled by some international forces to further destabilize Sri Lanka,” he added.

“Sri Lanka will be consolidated in a year if the people manage to work intelligently and remain calm,” he said. (Yohan Perera)

Protests must go on for a better life for sri-lankan people, true that you have a luxuary life with cars and big house and 3 meals a day. 22 million are starving no food no medicine school children fainting

What about the politicians who have brought the country to this economics state? Do we call them saints ? Mind your words so called minister

Mizaru Tuesday, 01 November 2022 04:19 PM

Uncle, we do not want some kind of stability accepted by a handful. We need sustainable stability and can be obtained only through a government with the backing of the majority of the people. The present president is not a “Janapathi”. He is a man elected by 134 clowns. The people participating will n tomorrow’s protest are patriotic, speak “Aragalaya “. We will all be there irrespective of religion, race or political affiliation.?

A man without mandate from the people is preaching to the people. If he has any brains which is a big if he should get his politics in order.

Klaus kiontke Tuesday, 01 November 2022 04:35 PM

So viel Dummheit und Lügen kann man als politische Gebildeter gar nicht ertragen. Die Schuld immer bei anderen suchen. das ist in Sri Lanka auf allen Ebenen normal. Mit solchen Abgeordneten wird das Land in 10 Jahren keine Stabilität erreichen

Sunil Tuesday, 01 November 2022 04:36 PM

You and your party members are the true traitors.

Harak Katak Wednesday, 02 November 2022 08:56 PM

That's politics. It's always like that...

UNP is historically done wickedness. In 1949, the UNP government stripped the Indian Tamils who live here generations of their nationality, including their right to vote. UNP started the chain of action which led to several 100,000 Sri Lankans of Indian Tamil origin being deported to India by SLFP government Sirima-Shastri Pact of 1964 with India.

A parliamentarian who calls demonstrators traitors has no idea about democracy and has no right to exist in a parliament

sam Tuesday, 01 November 2022 05:04 PM

They wont be traitors if you were in opposition.

Abd Tuesday, 01 November 2022 05:07 PM

This guy is a great wheeler dealer,who uses all sort of political developments for his personal benefit, to him who against corruption, who against selling public assets, are traitors

Asanga Tuesday, 01 November 2022 05:18 PM

How come exercising peoples' rights is treacherous? People have the right to protests. This fellow is the traitor by instigating goon against it.

Publish this story under a new page called JOKES. Who listens to this joker who gave GR citizenship over weekend and covered up the Avant Garde Galle case.

Surain Tuesday, 01 November 2022 05:37 PM

This fellow is a traitor of the nation not who are participating

People Tuesday, 01 November 2022 06:04 PM

Vajira or whoever you are....by the way, who are you? What right do you have to select traitors or patriots? Get a peoples mandate first and then maintain it - otherwise, keep your comments to yourself as they make you look more silly. (for want of a better word)

Aquarius Tuesday, 01 November 2022 06:10 PM

And those who are cleaning the coffers and making millions in corrupt deals are true patriots. right? Please enjoy your short-lived luxurious life, you do not have a clue what people are going through in the rest of the country. As long as you have everything provided by the tax-payers money, anyone trying to beak that corrupt cycle, are terrorists and troublemakers. Get your brain checked first before uttering these comments.

Ruwan Fernando Tuesday, 01 November 2022 06:18 PM

How long you are going to wash Ranil Wickramasinghe's clothes man?

Harak Katak Wednesday, 02 November 2022 08:55 PM

As long as it takes, to get better position. Surely you are joking about this, or you don't understand how politics works?

D.P.M. Ameer (Businessman in your area) Wednesday, 02 November 2022 09:52 AM

First of all, tell me, whether you got through GCE O/L examination. Prove it, then we could have some confidence on you Vajira.

Harak Katak Wednesday, 02 November 2022 08:58 PM

Does not matter what his school marks are... All the MP should probably best of competency test with Maths, English, Tamil, and Sinhala. Some of these older types have lost their skills, and well past 60 too.

Roshanaly Wednesday, 02 November 2022 10:25 AM

Yes, any person who is against the Government are either LTTE or traitor.

Sagara Wednesday, 02 November 2022 12:04 PM

All these jokers from the lost Party are now awake and actively speaking after Ranil was made President.

L Jaya Wednesday, 02 November 2022 12:16 PM

Recently enthroned MP have nothing to talk other than praising his electors

vadivelu Wednesday, 02 November 2022 02:47 PM

to those who talk of mandate- Gota had a huge mandate why did you guys not allow him to run the country for the rest of his term. So no respect for peoples mandate- you guys have no moral right to ask for an election or be be governed by someone who has a mandate, since you do not respect peoples mandate
