To dissect the issue well, a few questions need to be answered first.
The first one is who is supposed to ensure law and order in a country.
Is it with the government in power or with someone else?
Obviously, we have an elected government in power currently and if they have failed to ensure and enforce law and order in the country, then blaming the third party for their failure is not called for, in my opinion.
Second, using persons who have been condemned to prison to beat up on unarmed protestors is a clear indicator of who is breaching the law and order in the country.
Thirdly, the timing of the call and who is making it now are important to explore.
Those who are very vociferous on social media now, were in a deep slumber when the present government was blatantly breaking it daily.
One example is giving a presidential pardon to a convicted murderer who was sentenced to life in prison by three courts in the country and never uttered a word in protest then.
When their so-called heroes are forced to reap what they have sown and taste their own medicine for the first time in the country's history, they decide that now is the time to speak up.
Nobody is giving a hoot about those සඩ්ඩම්බිරාළලා calls now.
Return to your self-imposed slumber and let the youth finally sort out the mess your so-called religion left behind.
Law and order, my foot.
