Statement:
During the past month we SRI LANKANS have suffered together silently. Everything and Everyone has a breaking point. We have reached that point.Yesterday’s protests were a result of innocent people’s suffering and unfair oppression.
Let us never be divided on race religion caste or party politics let’s unite as ONE PEOPLE and Stand up for ourselves, our Children and the future generations to come
#WakeUpSriLanka
It’s about us and not them
Protest peacefully, don’t damage public Property and please don’t hurt your fellow brother or sister. This is not about Rioting. It’s about taking a stand for what is right. (NewsWire)
