This is what the opposition wants to see.Our Sri Lankan's are also so stupid to run for it when some news is heard. Nothing will shake this government as they are doing a very good job and not cheating and living on the public as you people did.

Pack of wolfs have run the country for the last 77 years and they ate all what was left in the body of Srilanaka, Finlay when the present lot took over Srilanka they got only the bones in the body of the country.

Lion,
That was the same situation of the country when Runil Wickramasinghe took over 2 years back. But he gave his full focus and resolved immediate issues faced by the people. Not wasted time on complaining previous govts.

Gota Number 2. Are they going to use Kanchana's Quota system? Or did they shut it off? Where the JVP guys with cans to obtain fuel? They are missing this time. Last time JVP guys supported to deepen fuel crisis by sending their comrades and brothers with all sorts of cans. That resulted in more chevos. Some of these fuel collected by cans were used to burn houses which later cost the government billions. The damage JVP created to this country far exceeds all corruption by all politicians.

These cartels of egg producers (not hens), canteen owners, petroleum distributors, bus owners, et. al. are cartels controlled by the corrupt ex-politicians (bought with stolen money) They are against the 'combines act' if it was in the capitalist West. They simply are not unions or professional/business associations. Price fixing is their motive. Now they are being used to discredit the government. Well thought of action is required. No doubt that they are profiting from these artificial scarcities.

Now no protests too because those protests were organised by JVP..

The government should cancel all the licence of the shed owners who are creating this problem. Then all will fall in line.
This is like all other issues that came when NPP won the elections.
1) Rice shortages
2) Egg price shooting up
3) Coconut shortage
Now the fuel issue. If the owners are going to boycott against High court judgement. Contempt of court and jail sentences should be given.

This is done with support of opposition to discredit the government and the government must firm and use the military to do the jobs and fire all those who are playing with people lives : all those who are striking must be sacked and replace them with military drivers: instead give their salaries to the military drivers: the government must discuss this with military leadership to recruit petrol deliveries by military personnel’s and then now we don’t need a big army instead divert them to this service:

CPC implemented the court order, and it is correct. This govt. restricted to cleaning and they are obliged to do that when considering their past gaming and gambling politics. Supports are worried about uncertain future of the govt. while the whole country senses the crisis of living.
