I hear some MPs saying the next President should be acceptable to the “Aragalaya”. I disagree. #Aragalaya was to remove #GotabayaRajapaksa and the Rajapaksas. That’s done. You cannot let a group of people dictate everything. We need stability to resolve the crisis in #SriLanka

The Minister of Ports comes to a press conference on the MV X-Press Pearl and talks crap wasting the time of the media. Look at the reactions from some of us on the right of the screen. He had no knowledge of the issue at hand #Srilanka #lka #politics #MVXPressPearl

The Revaluation has begun!!!! Just returned to Colombo from Hambantota. The crowds along the roads are amazing. Well disciplined in most places. My humble appeal to all is not to engage in violence. And my humble request to all the Rajapaksa’s is please go. #GoHomeRajapakshas

This whole "drama" of making Mahinda to resign and GR and the other Rajapaksas to remain cannot and should not be accepted. The people have spoken. The trending # in Sri Lanka is #GoHomeRajapakshas So it should be nothing short of that!!!! @sajithpremadasa @RW_UNP @MASumanthiran

(1/2) Looking at social media today and reports from the ground, the message is very clear. A lot of people, including those who supported the Rajapaksas, are dejected at the state of affairs in Sri Lanka. The chorus calling for change has intensified... #Srilanka #lka #change

This is going to be a very "dirty" marriage between Ranil and Mahinda. Both will use each other to stay alive in politics...... Mahinda is known to be corrupt and Ranil is known to be a fox. Country's future at stake? #Srilanka #lka #UNP #SLPP #LGPolls

People I am speaking to are actually saying they have no issues if any property in Sri Lanka is “sold” to foreigners as long as we get USD and the people get fuel and food. The public have lost hope #PrayforSriLanka #CrisisLK #SriLanka
