"Threatening to use military power against civilian market operations is a display of incompetency and abuse of power. Leaders should be finding peaceful solutions, not resorting to force.

We mourn the passing away of Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji, one of India's most distinguished leaders. Rising from humble origins, he became a respected economist and served in various government positions, including as Finance Minister, implementing economic reforms that helped India rise from the 1991 crisis. As Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve the lives of Indian citizens and further liberalize the economy. His contributions also extended to strengthening India-Sri Lanka relations, fostering friendship and cooperation between our nations. His legacy will inspire generations to come. Om Shanti!!! 🇮🇳🇱🇰🙏 #NGF #India #ManmohanSingh

@dhananath There could be shortage of various types of rice time to time such as keeri samba, naadu etc. Thats because of the choice of farmers who choose what to cultivate depending on their preferences. When a particular type is short in supply market responds to it by prices.

@dhananath SL produce 2.75 million tons of rice per year, while we consume 2.4 million tons as food. There is no actual shortage of rice. We are self sufficient except Basmati. These shortages are caused by price controls.

@dhananath Vehicle permit system is an unfair policy and it should be scrapped up without a delay. It certainly distort markets as well as there is no justice in giving a special treatment for selected group of citizens.

@dhananath Tariffs should align with the government's transportation policy rather than a mode of earning revenue. The tariff system for vehicles should be revised along with a national transportational policy needs and there should be scientific reasoning with clear breakdown of costs.

The Online Safety Act, PTA, and ICCPR were once seen as oppressive laws. Now, with a stronger majority, the government has the power to amend them. Not to abolish, but to reform—fix what's flawed. These laws must exist, but within a framework that respects human rights, democracy, and freedom. They must not become tools of oppression. Let’s see how quickly this necessary change happens. #NGF #රටහදනහරිපාර

Tomorrow is *your* day, Sri Lanka. Seventy-six years of our history have seen both ups and downs, shaped by the choices we make at the polls. In recent elections, your vote has been the deciding factor, reflecting the true power you hold. Think of the struggles our people have endured—and consider the outcomes we’ve fought to achieve. This is not just a chance to vote; it’s a responsibility to decide the direction of our country. Tomorrow, cast your vote for leaders with integrity—people who are reformers, progressive thinkers, knowledgeable and practical minds, and innovators. Reject those who misuse power, who lie and make empty promises. Your decision tomorrow shapes the next five years of Sri Lanka, so vote early, peacefully, and with conviction. Stand firm in your beliefs, no matter the outcome, and honor the people's decision as our shared destiny. Together, we can transform Sri Lanka into a thriving, happy nation, one where all citizens are proud to call home #Election2024 #SriLankaElections #VoteForTomorrow
