As the Boss said yesterday in Anuradhapura, we should unite to defeat local and international forces who are sabotaging the country.
65,000 health workers on strike and the people who are falling ill, are dropping dead on the streets.
The videos will soon be in YouTube and Madam Barchelott and her group in the UNHRC will raise the stick against our Govt which is led under Saubhahagye Dekma philosophy.
This is definitely sabotage of our clever and superior leadership under Pohottuwa.
This effort should be vanquished through unity.
