Mr. President, it’s a pathetic sight to watch you unload a truckload of bull crap on your fellow citizens for nearly ten minutes on national TV. If you haven’t noticed the miserable situation your fellow citizens are going through or haven’t heard their agonizing cries of despair, get the hell out of your well-protected bubble and take a walk. People are in the dark, their loved ones are dying without medicine, they can’t even cook the basics they bought at exorbitant prices by scraping the bottoms of their savings. And you are asking them to be peaceful? People are not in a meditation program seeking Nirvana. They are struggling to survive and you, your clan and henchmen are tone deaf!
“You talk about “inhuman brutalities” that got nine killed and hurt hundreds. And you tell the nation that you asked the Inspector General of the Police to investigate.”
You talk about a “prior crisis” that created this “instability.” Yes, there is a prior crisis and it was you and your impotent administration that created it. Admit it, you simply cannot govern. Neither can your so-called group of half-cooked intellectuals/professionals known as Viyathmaga. They are a bunch of imbeciles. And you, your dumb siblings and henchmen own the crisis we are in to our nose.
Now comes the violence. You talk about “inhuman brutalities” that got nine killed and hurt hundreds. And you tell the nation that you asked the Inspector General of the Police to investigate. Are you joking? How do you find humor in the middle of this tragic mess? Who instigated the reign of terror? Just like the rest of the country haven’t you seen your Prime Minister, who happens to be your elder brother, brought busloads of thugs to his official residence (a public property) boozed them to the Nth degree and unleashed them to attack the innocent civilians? Who were the arsonists? Why do you need an “investigation?” Just order the Police to arrest your PM who blatantly violated the law and order you so dearly talk about at every breath. Instead of arresting the one who instigated this violence you shipped him to a naval base or somewhere to be protected using public funds.
Finally, you talk about a Cabinet you put together sans Rajapaksas. Are you joking again? Look in the mirror. YOU are a Rajapaksa and you are still here. People are crying out loud asking you to go. Just GO! You, and your cronies are no longer welcome. Go before you too have to be shipped to a naval base to be protected from the very people who sent you to power. Shame on you to come on national TV and treat people like they were born today.
