A protest broke out, outside UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe's house in 5th Lane in Colombo this morning, with protestors calling on the former prime minister to 'Go Home' and 'Stay Home'.
The protestors gathered outside after a statement made by TNA MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam in Parliament this week, saying that Ranil was seen persuading opposition MPs to vote for SLFP's Ranjith Siyambalapitiya in the Deputy Speaker election.
The protestors gathered outside Ranil's house and carried out a peaceful protest calling on Ranil to allegedly stop his 'deals'.
Security was deployed outside the former prime minister's house.
An hour into the protest, a group of Ranil's supporters also gathered at the site and began a protest saying the only solution to the ongoing crisis was to appoint Ranil as a leader. An argument then erupted between the pro and anti Ranil protestors and the police had to calm the situation.
A message was later sent to the protestors by the former prime minister saying if they wished to meet him, they should come to the Sirikotha on Monday where he will discuss their concerns with them. The protestors eventually dispersed. (Jamila Husain)

No need to go to Sirikotha. Message is clear. Retire and not to Re-Try

It would be interesting to find out who these people are. Looks like some people are trying fish in troubled waters.

Ranil has been in the "Traitor" business all along

DISCE-AUT-DISCEDE; Act in Buddhistic Ideology of 'letting go', especially as you age. Hand over UNP to the successors - if you were a proper manager you should have had succession planning!

Sirikotha is not his fathers property.

Let's be clear here. You and all of the other politicians are having the weekend off. The country is in tatters and you are all on holiday. I have had to work all weekend just to get some rice.

This is a pre-planned DRAMA set by Ranil Wickremasinghe himself, how a National List MP who never gained a single SEAT in his electorate either could be a LEADER for the people who are with Rajapaksas voting 6.9 million votes? And Ranil Wickremasinghe brought the country being messed up by his administration under Maithripala Sirisena's leadership during 2015

To RW. Granddad. It's time to shut-up shop and get out!

Ranil - From the National List. This is because he is the leader of that party. Not individually voted by the people. Go home Ranil. You are the cause of these problems.

How about 'Deal Place'- it's more accesible?????

Ranil admitted, in the parliament that yet another Bond scam done under his instruction, in 2015, following Rajapakshas' with Cabraal, many, before.

Now we just need China to step in to provide security for their own assets and people

It’s not a time for the opposition to split and fight against each other. I’m sure that SJB/ Sajith will have something to do with this protest. It’s time for them to get together and chase the Rajapakse’s away for the betterment of the country rather than using the current situation for political advantage.
