This is his first day protested and he was accompanied by his parents. His father worked in the Colombo Port Security Division, and his mother was a home maker. “I came because the powerful leaders did not give us what we expected from them. The economy was in crisis. We have money but food is not available.

We have gas cooking for now, but we don’t know if we will get refills. The long queue, “he said, added,” I hope to work in this country after I finish my studies, but I see so many scholars without work. We have been at home for two years and our university has not continued physical class because there is no power. “

Everyone is affected by this government, by the family run this government. We want a democratic state … a peaceful environment … not an atmosphere filled with communal and ethnic racism,” Ahamad said, who was accompanied by his father, a businessman. “One of my aunts in Kandy was affected by the riots of 2018 – the house and vehicle burned. I faced racism in public places, even in my college,” he added.

Blaming Rajapaksa’s family for “every problem in the country”, he hopes “People will choose the next time for qualified candidates without being driven by ethnicity, religious problems or money”

Civil society activists and others have warned people that if ruling ruling there will be an economic crisis because they have never had the right economic plan. But Rajapaksas is a hero to win the war against LTTE,” said Dissanayake. After Easter Sunday’s attack, he added, “People think Rajapaksas is the only protector of Sinhala … they are swayed by victory. Now the eyes of the open person.”
