Nope! There should be numbers and should be shown. There is a lot of anger, threats and demands floating around and the masses are jumping on the bandwagon reminding me the ‘Jathiaalaya’ initiated by Premadasa’s thugs and spread across the country tarnishing the image of the whole country and the nation and the entire population having to pay increased tax for ‘Punaruththapanaya’. I listened to last night ‘Waada Pitiya’ As the lawyer said, the people demanding the government to ‘go home’ must show the solid plan to get out of the situation and the numbers in the parliament by bringing a motion of no confidence. Attaking politicians homes are good for video clips and a temporary release like the self satisfaction using once hand. Put the problems in the real world are quite different and have to have a plan. The change being demanded may come. But nobody know the nature of demands to come since the main and the only source of tourism has stropped due to unrest in the country as well as fuel and electricity shortage.
I have not yet heard a single ship captain in the Colombo harbour have expressed willingness to unload oil and gas waiting in their ships in exchange of sending the government home, but for US$s. People want power need to show their plans for bringing in necessary dollars as well as how they keep the price of essential items artificially lower than in the market, if they are going to get IMF funds to remedy this situation.
