She says that she made a mistake by bringing Maithripala Sirisena into power in 2015. Have you realised that she made another colossal mistake by appointing Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2004 not Lakshman Kadirgamar ? It's because she caved into pressure from the saffron robe

In 2008, Radith Munasinghe prepared a Sri Lankan rice & curry meal in clay pots for @BarackObama & his wife @MichelleObama at Seychelles resort of Fregate Island during their stay. In the hotel visitor's book @BarackObama made special mention of it, calling it a Sri Lankan Supper

The @PresRajapaksa admin was supporting the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) to consolidate the Sinhala vote behind him. The appearance of @GotabayaR at a BBS event in 2013 fuelled the speculation. They gave BBS permission to hold rallies at a time when Govt critics were not allowed to do so

The true test of #Buddhist values are to uphold the law but do not abandon compassion. මෙත්තා, කරුණා, මුදිතා & උපේක්ෂා are not just words to preach but principles to practice

Sri Lanka was not a country that was in debt to anyone in 1977 is to settle U$ 37,468 million foreign debt as of the 1st quarter of 2026. President J. R went on a spending spree & got caught in the net of the IMF to make Sri Lanka indebted ( LankaWeb 18 Oct 2026 )

In 1964, Dr. N.M Perera & Pieter Keuneman said that they would capture the SLFP when they joined the Govt. They were marginalized by Sirimavo Bandaranaike. Chandrika Bandaranaike did the same & placed the JVP in a situation where it had to play to justify that they're in the Govt

It was the practice that all TELO operations were planned & trained by the RAW. President J. R manipulated Romesh Bhandari the Foreign Secretary to entice Rajiv Gandhi into turning India against the Tamil resistance movement ( The Will to Freedom by Adele Balasingham )

There was never an uproar about producing a monk suspect in Court in civilian clothes until it happened to Gnanasara thero. The death penalty was reinstated when SWRD Bandaranaike was assassinated by Talduwe Somarama thero & was executed. No one protested then, why ?

In Sri Lanka, the registrations of three wheels have increased to 5,375 in Sept 2026. There are 1,159,158 three wheels in the country. සර්, ඩ්‍රයිවර් හැරෙන පැත්ත දන්නේ දෙයියෝ විතරයි. The mean daily income is between Rs. 1,500 & Rs. 2,300 according to the 2016 NHRDC study

Aubrey Collette's sarcastic political cartoons captured important moment in the country’s early history. The cartoonist born in Sri Lanka was forced to leave the country in 1961 due to increasing hostility towards his cartoons. He lived the rest of his life in Australia

President @GotabayaR has appointed alleged perpetrators of war crimes & bureaucrats accused of corruption to his Govt many of whom will have to answer in a Court one day said the Executive Director of the @ITJPSL Yasmin Sooka on 5th May 2020

The allegations must be thoroughly investigated. In Sri Lanka, corruption allegations had existed for a long time but some cases had been halted after @GotabayaR assumed the Presidency. This process must not stop. There must be a mechanism to punish those responsible

In Sri Lanka, during the 1st 2 years Presidents display genuine energy to fulfill their promises. Then things begin to change. Sri Lanka has spent nearly 8 decades searching for the leader who will finally rescue the country from disappointments. Will the Govt welcome criticism ?

On 17th Nov 2019 @GotabayaR won the Presidential Election. On 28th Nov 2019, the National Movement for Web Journalists issued a media statement condemning the CID for interrogating & harassing web journalists & editors who supported @SajithPremadasa during the Election

President @PresRajapaksa caused controversy on 3 occasions granting Presidential Pardon during his term for double murder, released 2 convicted Indian women narcotics offenders & 5 Indian heroin smuggling fishermen following a telephone call received from PM @NarendraModi in 2014

The biggest question was how @PresRajapaksa was re-elected by a victory margin of 1,842,749 votes ? The Opposition claimed the Govt had pulled off a massive high tech fraud operation involving the intimidation of Opposition voter counting observers @ColomboTelegrap 8 Oct 2011

The People’s Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE) helped the JVP to produce Landmines & to set up Ranahanda radio station. Had the JVP mastered landmine warfare, the JVP terror campaign in the late 1980s could have taken a different turn ( An excerpt from this book )

Oil resources have been discovered in the territorial waters of Sri Lanka. In 2020, Sri Lanka will be an economically powerful country without the burden of loans in South Asia said Wimal Weerawansa in an interview with the Business Today ahead of the 2010 Presidential Election

The militarization is being used to safeguard a skewed economic development model beneficial to the @PresRajapaksa's cronies & a new military elite loyal to @GotabayaR is also being nurtured, lending them access to state lands & business opportunities ( GroundViews 27 Feb 2011 )
