Today (09) was not a peaceful day for Sri Lanka at all. While large numbers of people are suffering due to economic problems, Sri Lankans across the country are suffering from thousands of problems including gas queues, fuel queues, fertilizer issues and rising prices of essential commodities.
Meanwhile, the people of Sri Lanka staged peaceful protests, urging the Rajapaksas to leave the ruling class. They can number in the thousands. Meanwhile, some government-linked parties used various tactics to thwart the protests, but all failed. Meanwhile, the main place here is occupied by the youth and they continued to struggle. They also proceeded to name a few new villages. They were Gota Go Village, Maina Go Village, Horu Go Village as well as a junction called Bata Junction.
During this time, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa repeatedly stated that he was stepping down. The decision to leave was taken today (09) and in order to prevent his departure, members of the People’s Alliance scattered all over Sri Lanka brought nearly 50 buses carrying their members to Temple Trees and staged a protest demanding Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa not to leave. People who came on behalf of President Mahinda Rajapaksa violently attacked the ‘Maina Go Gama’ in front of the Temple Trees and set fire to the attics there. The youths there were also attacked.
After that, the barbaric group affiliated to the government came to Gota Go Gama. It was clear that the police were able to chase them away with tear gas attacks from roadblocks but did not prevent it. The police were hit by peaceful protests before, and the police were able to go to the scene and perform destruction. It is also clear that he acted tactfully to be able to do so. The barbaric men attacked its peaceful youth, and more than 140 people were injured in the attack. The Leader of the Opposition, MP Eran Wickremaratne and Mujibur Rahman were also assaulted.
With that attack, the four most valuable people came to the village of Gota Go and began to search and attack the government-linked thugs. Meanwhile, the whole of Sri Lanka became violent against the government. In the evening, there were protests from town to town and buses and people arriving in Colombo began to search and attack.
While these activities were taking place, the government took steps to impose curfew first in the Western Province and secondly in the whole of Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, public servants have issued various announcements stating that they will continue their strike tomorrow and will lose power and electricity for several days after 12.00 tonight.
Among them are government-affiliated Moratuwa Mayor Saman Lalge, Kurunegala Mayor Thusara Sanjeewa, MPs Sanath Nishantha, Johnston Fernando, Tissa Kutty, Shantha Bandara, Gamini Lokuge, Ramesh Pathirana, Ranatunga, Nimal Lansa, Wimalka Rambukwella, Wimalka Rambukwella, Wimal. Gentlemen, as well as a large number of unreported fires have been extinguished. Also, the house of Pavithra Devi Wanniarachchi in Pelmadulla has been stoned. The traditional house in the Prime Minister’s village was also set on fire around 09.00 tonight.
This was because the government was unable to control the people who did not pay even five cents for the curfew. It is also reported that about 5 people have been killed since this morning, including a Member of Parliament who is said to have shot at the protesters and fled. Various incidents are already being reported in various parts of Sri Lanka. Also, the two battlefields that were demolished by the government have been re-established.
