UNP demands ‘Give Government to Ranil’
A massive protest organised by the UNP in collaboration with various trade unions and political parties was held opposite the Galle SLTB bus terminal last evening (25), condemning the rule of the Government as well as increase in prices of essential commodities.
The protest commenced around 3:00 p.m. A large number of UNP activists and the public from various parts of the Galle District took part in the protest.
The protesters were carrying banners bearing slogans such as ‘remove the salary anomalies of government servants’, ‘pay compensation to farmers who were impacted by the shortage of fertiliser’, ’educated youth have no jobs’, ‘we have no means for survival’ and ‘give the government to Ranil’ etc.
The protest had been organised by UNP Chairman Wajira Abeywardena on the instructions of UNP Leader, MP Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Abeywardena said, the protest was organised to bring to the attention of the government of the impact to the economy as well as the lives of ordinary people of this country, but not to harm or take revenge on others.
He said, the protest was intended to formulate a strong national policy framework, suitable for another 15 years which cannot be easily amended by anyone easily.

“Give Government to Ranil”. My god. This is political suicide. From frying to fire. Shocking. You cannot be serious. Sri Lanka you need help.
GT R = Government To Ranil .
Only solution
Ranil had many opportunities as Prime Minister, many times.
But he messed up all and let down his supporters.
No confidence in him; should retire.
As Phandus says, Ranil Wickremasinghe had many opportunities to lead the Nation.
He squandered the due to his allegiance to the corrupt, non-ethical Kurrakan Satakaya family.
Not only does he not have a spine, he does not have bal**s too.
Is this a joke ??? If it is, it must be one hell of a SICK JOKE. Sri Lankan citizens will remember the involvement of RW and the UNP in the following – The Bond Scam – Who gave the order to 600 Policemen to surrender to the LTTE, who then slaughtered them – The Batalanda torture chambers where young Sri Lankan Sinhala Youth were murdered. Let NO SRI LANKAN NEVER EVER FORGET THESE ATROCIOUS ACTS. I am so glad that NO UNP CANDIDATE WAS ELECTED TO PARLIAMENT at the last election -NOT EVEN RW – so glad that my fellow citizens remembered . Please think very carefully fellow citizens. PLEASE DO NOT EVER CAST YOUR VOTE TO A PARTY THAT HAS KILLED SRI LANKAN SINHALA CITIZENS.
I AM GLAD TO SEE, FOR ONCE, SRI LANKAN HAS UNANIMITY ON something !!!!!!!!!
Of course, Sister Indra,
We are all united; the old UNP and its leader RW are terribly hopeless.
The Deputy leader was shockingly seeking alignment with the Balavegaya and SLFP.
Shows that he doesn’t have the ba**s to stand on his own.
Wish he would stand up, expel Ranil W and tell the people that he has new way forward to offer to the Nation.
In a country full of brainless ba**s, even somebody 100 times worse than RW can form a political party and live on the public purse and go to the parliament under various quota provided in our FUNNY constitution.
Is there anyone in the UNP who can emulate JRJ?
The leader should be sacked (JRJ threw the owner, Dudley S out of the window) followed by getting down to grassroots campaign with a new political philosophy, youth to the forefront, establish accountability and recover stolen wealth
I cannot see anyone in the UNP who is capable.
