Its fine they stormed the culprits house. Yet citizens should not overdo it. The world is watching them.
Better mass murderer mass corrupt leader also prepare tunnels to flew soon nobody knows when antbhakt bas Karo.
Every cruel dictator end like this.
Srilanka people are very soft, that is why they didnt kill their family. A peaceful revolution.
It's not protestors..its citizen uprising
So happy to hear that they ate good food at the Presidential Palace.. Enjoying the cool breeze of the ACs they all deserve this as to what they have been put to for no fault of theirs… Everything that were theirs were taken from them by a handful of people who thought it was their right to enjoy it all… So sad for the people of Sri Lanka… May God bless them abundantly.
Family Politicians like Gandhis of Congressare dangerous and Sri Lankas Family rulers have ruined them.
We Srilanka is been robbed by the famous Rajapaksa’s who threw us to the road to beg.
We have taken over presidents house and will hold it till a suitable president is been elected.
The protest was peaceful. As Sri Lankans we have been struggling for months. Still the government , Rajapaksha Family including presedent, former prime minister failed to provide solutions. The y were the responsible people for this economic crisis. They made our country in debt with foreign loans and white elephant projects like Mattala airport, Hambantota harbour, Lotus tower etc. They banned chemical fertilizer that made most of the common people suffer in queues.
Their lack of farsightedness and improper planning made our country a failure. We were living in this country peacefully and happily. They made us debtors. High inflation and these official's inability give solutions made our Sri Lankans disappointed and hopeless. Yet government officials lead a life of luxury while we suffered days in long queues just for basic needs. At present inflation in Sri Lanka is over 60%. Most of the locals are not sure about their next meal. All because of the rulers.
Which ultimately lead to these protest. We call it "The protest of Love". Because Sri Lankans got united against one corrupted family who ruled the country. This was a collective effort of all the Sri Lankans. There was no violence. They were the ones who used battons, tear gas , guns and water. We came with bare hands but with brave hearts. Unity was our strength which could not be defeated by the president and his henchmen. A big applause for locals.
India situation will be the same in coming times if this crap bjp rss is not removed from the centre… ASAP
Persons who divide and rule cannot take the country into success. Should be an eye-opener to BJP.
I love this shit!!!! Hahahahahaha
Luxaries for president in the castle and people are dying without food is height of Funny so called peoples democracy
India kingdoms also had secret tunnel to escape during invasion
Wish every one in the world had this palace!
Be careful with these Indian reporters. No other words
These are the secrets of any government in any country. Now what happened is Sri Lanka has lost it's most of administrative security and dignity. This is an invasion to administration without arms. There are more legitimate ways to change the government. Sri Lanka will not recover these scars for years to come. Now no place in Sri Lanka to have discussions for foreign dignitaries to meet as well as no secure place.
Every srilankan is now the President of srilanka..good to see this !
Tell indian gourmen't to stay without interfering our countries internal problems….😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
I wonder…what these secret tunnels will lead to? Gold mine? Bunkers are an absolute must. Let's see.
Only 9 laks came to colombo
60 laks at their homes
Different veiws
Not all sri lankans
The blood of the heroes is cryi g for justice
The stole jewels are in the crowns
Poor are in graves without names
It's very shameful to any nation….
I pray for the betterment of Srilanka & it's people.
I think the genocide of innocent Tamils might be a CURSE for this family so that they themselves had to runoff from County…!!!
Bagwan Sri Krishna said:- "Karma never leave you" it catches you at right time with right effect".you can't escape..!
China bankrupt Sri Lanka. Protesters please go after Chinese….
Sri Lankans should do a referendum and ask India to take over Sri Lanka.
That would be a good outcome. Indian Government and bureaucracy can provide stability to Sri Lanka, provide food, fuel and other necessities…as well as finance. India can also link to Sri Lanka via Ram Setu and provide trade and jobs to Sri Lankans.
Every country in Europe is facing the cost-of-living crisis brought by the pandemic and Ukraine war. Pandemic has stopped tourist money to countries like Sri Lanka who were the first to go down with the crisis. These protests alone will not solve the real crisis, and protest leaders should think of the next step. What Sri Lanka need is to bring new faces to lead the country who have not been in politics before. These people should be from industry leaders, academics, sports personalities, and technocrats who are not tainted by corruption. IMF will easily give bailout funds to leaders who are not tainted by corruption.
Some of Indian trying to get benefit out of this situation. Still we are respect MR Modi government

SO WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM???? EATING, DRINKING BEATHING
THESE LUXURIOUS THINGS ARE BELONGS TO PUBLIC
YOU SAY ITS GOTA'S HOUSE YOU ARE WRONG
IF IT WAS HIS ,
HE WOULD HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU
Jailthem all
Gotabaya WAS a democratic honest and excellent political leader.
What took place in Sri Lanka was a political conspiracy and a coup by local terrorist group called JVP with socialist economic policies to effect regime change. They are backed and funded by US and Tamil and Muslim diasporas in Western countries and Europe.
It must be mentioned that there was a
successful foreign funded regime change operation in Sri Lanka back in 2015, This new government headed by President Sirisena was responsible for the disastrous amount of ISB borrowings.
Between 2009-2014, $5 Billion worth of ISBs were acquired.
This is manageable and normal.
However, between 2015-2019 alone,
$12Billion worth of ISBs were borrowed.
This is a devastatingly high amount of debt to be thrust into for an economy the size of Sri Lanka's.
ISBs have extremely short maturity periods as low as 2 years – and having a large number of them to be paid back within a span of 4 years is nearly destructive.
There was no clear cut reason for such large borrowings in the first place.
The country was in no dire need of foreign aid at that time.
President Gotabaya Rajapakse walked straight into this reckless debt pile when he was elected in Nov of 2019.
Needlessly to say things were about to get much worse due to Covid-19 in March of 2020.
It's been going downhill ever since.
The ONLY reason that President Rajapakse is being portrayed as the architect of this catastrophe is due to his pro-China, pro-Russia leanings.
Removing him will bring in a Western puppet like in 2015 – who will bend over backwards to the West's needs, and bow to every demand made by the IMF.
It should be noted that US does not care whether it is communist or liberal, as long as they can use these unintelligent brainwashed JVP and protesting bafoons as pawns to disrupt and destabilize the government.
The president who was voted in by 7 million has been chased out by a group of commie bafoons not more than 100000 who have no mandate and the man who got only 5000 votes in the last election now is the President.
This is the final stage of conspiracy theory. Same as in Libya. This will create internal conflicts within groups of the struggle.
Regime change mission is accomplished!
Tunnels in the place for Rajapakshe to escape in times of trouble or pressure from the Citizens.
Shame on those who exposed this which was made for security. Horrible sensationalist news
He did his best to bankrupt Sri Lanka
