Absolute waste. You are here to serve the people who you represent. Reposting an article written by someone who is looking after his own interests is not what is required at present. The people of N & E don't give a "Scooby" about what's written here unless of course you're...

"KARMIC RETRIBUTION FOR JVP!" โ From Opposing the Anti-Terrorism Act in 2019 to Enacting It in Government Today! ๐๏ธ๐โ๏ธ
On March 11, 2019, the JVP organized a public panel at the Centre for Society and Religion (CSR), Maradana, titled "The Proposed Anti-Terrorism Act and the Future of Democracy" to oppose state coercion. Fast forward to today, the NPP/JVP government has brought forward that exact same legislation! Critics slam this absolute U-turn on core policy as instant karmic retribution (Ditthadhamma Vedaniya Karma), warning that hundreds of similar policy betrayals lie ahead! ๐ฑ๐ฐ

Why claiming that govt does not need "repressive laws" to remain in power, his cabinet keeps approving drafts of "repressive laws" including copy pasting laws from other countries.

@anuradisanayake @Dr_HariniA glad attention is being paid to the appalling state of prisons in #SriLanka. Urge those involved to read the 863 page report of HRCSL prison study to understand multi dimensional, complex issue. It also has detailed recommendations for reform.
Prison overcrowding under scrutiny: A Parliamentary Sectoral Oversight Committee inspected Colombo Remand Prison, New Magazine Prison, Welikada Prison, the Womenโs Prison and the Prison Hospital today.
The MPs examined overcrowding, hazardous buildings, sanitation, medical facilities and challenges faced by prison officers as part of efforts to address prison congestion.

Colombo received 129 mm of rain in a few hours, against the roughly 30 mm capacity cited by the Mayor. MCUDP tunnels exist, but blocked drains and canals remain a persistent failure. Successive governments and councils must own both the progress and the failures.
