Senator Thorpe isn't wrong calling the Queen a Coloniser. Where's the lie in history & in the present? Why should @SenatorThorpe still be made to swear allegiance to Queen + heirs when Australia is & was never her land or her people. Honestly! The Caucacity of Colonialism 🙄

Rationed commodities, seems we are officially back in the 70’s (before my time). Remember @PresRajapaksa, @RajapaksaNamal and clan did this to us 😢

National Fuel Pass was developed with the assistance of leading Tech companies in SL & ICTA without any cost to CPC or Govt. Glitches & Negative comments were both expected. Thus the request was made to register over a few days & commenced a few days before distribution commenced

Are you this aide @CassilingamG? This is some super pungent BS— @PresRajapaksa ran the show and was FM that led to this disaster, @GotabayaR was a foolish passenger that boarding the rollercoaster forgetting put on his seatbelt.

“It was because of @PresRajapaksa that @GotabayaR came 2 power, but once elected, PM was sidelined by his own brother,” aide told Al Jazeera. “Until last moment, GR didn’t know how to govern but he never listened to MR.” More #SriLanka updates here - aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…

So Many of us at GGG including IUSF calls Protesters to not to Involve anything relate to Parliament! Don’t get Diverted by Inside jobs of Certain People, Don’t Fall for Ranil’s Tactics! Be Wise, Be Calm, Be Peaceful as you have always have been! #RanilResign #GotaResign
This is wrong and now descending to chaos. Ambulances were always treated like VIPs previously and should contribute to be protected.

Two ambulances that responded to calls today near Parliament were attacked by persons involved in the "Aragalaya". One was stoned and in the other staff was harassed saying they were RWs people. We will stop responding to "Aragalaya" locations if one more is attacked! 1/
Erm… what TF is going on ? 😳

Representatives of Maldivians, PRESIDENT @ibusolih & PARLIAMENT SPEAKER @MohamedNasheed, have no right to use their official powers to protect a ‘personal friend’ Especially someone like @GotabayaR #SriLankaCrisis

The irony of this— @GotabayaR persecuted #LKA’s muslims only to be protected at the end by the muslims of 🇲🇻 and 🇦🇪.

Gotabaya Rajapaksa will stay in a resort in Maldives for a couple of days & then head to UAE. Shame on @UAEEmbColombo if they let @GotabayaR live in their country, after he penalised & harassed Muslims & even forcefully burnt Muslims who died from COVID #LKA #SriLanka #GoHomeGota
Love how @NewsCurrySL takes no sides and all is fair game…

Is this a torture chamber in the Presidential Palace? @GotabayaR, @RajapaksaNamal, @RealBRajapaksa @PresRajapaksa are no war criminals, are they?? 🤔

Further confirmation that the GR/RW govt wouldn’t have gotten us the IMF help needed any sooner. As of two days ago, DP was gaining more portfolios and increasing influence on the govt.

Events have moved on, but this is an extraordinary tale of what Dhammika Perera was saying at a cabinet meeting: "the IMF had failed to recognise the contribution made by successful businesses in the country." themorning.lk/a-tone-deaf-pr…
Meanwhile, it is learnt that Perera had also raised an issue at last week's Cabinet meeting over the proposed IMF reforms. Accordingly, during a briefing by the Prime Minister over the measures that would be taken by the Government in line with the IMF recommendations, Perera had interrupted on several occasions. Perera had expressed concerns over one point in particular the IMF's insistence that monopolies over industries in the country be broken and new companies allowed to enter. Perera, who has control over key industries via businesses effectively controlled by him or his legal nominees, had explained to the Cabinet that it was because of these monopolies that the country was progressing and that the IMF had failed to recognise the contribution made by successful businesses in the country.
