The very people who once weaponized strikes and crippled our progress now face the chaos they created. No use recalling old words. What matters is this: the Govt has a golden chance to break the grip of disruptive unions they fostered. Do it now! #lka

This could have been Lanka. India’s first FTA was with Lanka. We have Lankans working in Indian factories in Dubai rather than at home. All because we haven’t done the hard work of structural reform eg CEPA, private FTZs, labour reforms etc From The Ken

I have criticized Sajith Premadasa for many things but this is absolutely low. This is why I call this guy GON GHOST. #SriLanka everyone should reject this guy and block. Disgusting ahole.

Just when you thought this account can't get any lower it does - but never low enough for those endorsing and associating it to apply their own guilty by association rules.

Wow! 'I'll leave Youtube if wrong'. I mean, can the stakes be any higher? What's next in this daredevil's repertoire - unsubscribe from Spotify as well?!

Statement Made by Sudha Sudha, a popular YouTuber, recently made a completely baseless and irresponsible statement suggesting that if President Ranil Wickremesinghe appears before the Criminal Investigation Department tomorrow to give a statement, he must be arrested, produced

Horrifying: Hamas leader Basem Naim just posted on Facebook as the Israeli army prepares to invade Gaza City: “If death is inevitable, then it is a disgrace to die a coward.” From Qatar, he tells people to die instead of evacuate. Hamas is a death cult.

Nanda Malini wasn't sure till she used the washroom mirror to check, if she had somehow passed away without noticing herself.

MR’s untouchable, so RW becomes the scapegoat — no base, no charisma, no risk. Just enough drama to grab headlines, but let’s be honest: nobody’s taking to the streets for him, nobody’s laying it all on the line. And that’s the point.

Agreed -'no one is above the law' , now can we follow that with the same zest for these less politically sensational, populist but 147x more serious cases too?

RW enabled change in executive presidency that allowed arrest of former head of state for civil cases. Prior to 2015 wasn't possible. So, ironically 'Ranil achieved this' partly true here too. Fact (in spite of motives, process) remains no one above law and good precedent.

I questioned if due process was followed, but in my thread endorsed the arrest given it was a good precedent for rule of law. However, NPP support base thought it necessary to spin it into a potential contempt of court issue. How absurd, they have moved from Animal Farm to 1984.
