Well come news, this should be continued with much vigor where ever these rouges visits. Wickramanayaka is one of the most disgraceful character in this parliament. When the 20 amendment was brought,this person who criticized it in public but voted for the amendment. He disregarded his sisters plea for not to vote for the amendment. He deserves this treatment. People of this country should thank for those participated in this matter.

What a waste of public funds on these unnecessary events held just to please the Politicians. All such events must be done away with. Save them the embarrassment and save the useless expenditure.

Is this the new beginning of a new culture? No doubt, the hungry masses will adopt this popular, harmless method of protest very fast. May be this is the reason, some politicians are reluctant to climb the stage. There are many more who deserve to get this honor.

Politicians cannot cheat the people any more.

This clearly illustrates what is expected of politicians in future governments. Unless politicians have a mindset to do service to the country and people and discard the idea of becoming quick rich - this will be their fate. You cannot expect an army to march of empty stomach equally you cannot ask for vote with public with empty stomach.

If I personally come across any politician, I will throttle their throats, for ruining our livelihoods and our children's future.

I am in agreement with RS. Wasting taxpayers hard earned money is unacceptable.
