Nothing pre-planned. Just spontaneous spillage of public anger!
Reporting from GotaGoGama undercover.
This is a despicable act and cannot be condoned.
The Medamulana ancestral residence of the Late DA Rajapaksa is heritage.
Though the Rajapaksa dynasty is crumbling, that’s no reason to destroy heritage.
After things settle down, we will initiate a fund raising to restore the Rajapaksa Ancestral Home in Medamulana.
Abrew is on the damage repair mission after the true colours of people behind the ‘Aragalaya’ came out. Why is she in undercover? Wasn’t she without any cover few weeks ago inviting us to join? Somebody here posted how good were the sandwiches in the Onlanka tent distributed by them? When the pay back time and time to take the responsibility dawns, organisers are slipping away. If she is writing this, she (or he) is an organiser: we will initiate a fund raising to restore the Rajapaksa Ancestral Home in Medamulana.. This is the same JVP filth, instead of ‘Viplawaya’ launched the same thing under ‘Aragalaya’. Has not the content of those ‘Files’ grandly displayed few days ago, still made public?
