The state of emergency in Sri Lanka came into effect from midnight yesterday due to the ongoing crisis in Sri Lanka. But around 10.00 pm we saw STF officers assaulting a young man. It was an inhuman and despicable attack. It was an insane attack on an unarmed man by an army. A crazy attack. The STF or the police or the security forces are not licensed underworld criminals. It would be in their best interests to stop behaving so foolishly, realizing that their own children, born of their own blood, would suffer the consequences of their destruction.
Meanwhile, the Bar Association of Sri Lanka has issued a statement this morning expressing its displeasure over the imposition of the state of emergency. The state of emergency must be imposed so as not to jeopardize the provisions of the Constitution. It should be imposed for public safety but not to the detriment of the right to speech and expression.
Yesterday, tear gas, or poison gas used to rescue hostages, was used by poisonous tear gas to disperse peaceful civilians. We have shown them very well in the videos and the government should understand that the people are violent because of the mistakes of the government itself. Although the parliament has been convening since last April at a cost of over Rs.
In spite of that, poisonous tear gas worth nearly Rs. Their poison has left Sri Lanka full of idiotic officers who are not even intelligent enough to think that the lives of her security personnel are in danger.
Meanwhile, a short while ago, social media had reported that water cannons had been imported from India to attack the people. It is reported that one such vehicle is parked at the Hambantota port and several more such vehicles are to be received. People are suffering from hunger, gas and fuel queues. How unfortunate it is to use state power to attack the Sri Lankan people instead of giving them what they want when they are being sold at high taxes.
Instead of saving the people, the imposition of the state of emergency will further exacerbate the persecution of the people or the security forces who go above and beyond the law and attack the people.
Although the state of emergency should be imposed to protect the people, this time the difference in power, discretion as well as duties should be balanced. All authorities must understand that there is no such thing as a terrorist activity or a hostile attack on the people. The struggle of the people is a struggle for survival. It is not a terrorist struggle. Otherwise people do not suffer from diseases or. The people are suffering because of the government that made bad decisions. Emergencies are usually expressed when happy people have another terrorist or dangerous situation. But the struggle continues to be very peaceful, but the provocation of the people was carried out by the security forces.
The oppressed people suffer because of the majority of public servants, including MPs and public administration officials who are appointed to protect the people and carry out their duties, which are maintained by the people’s tax money. Now they are demanding justice. They are crying and demanding the right to live. But the answer to their hunger is tear gas or bullets. Some of those who claim the right to life are now paralyzed. We live in such a country. Let us join hands to rebuild Sri Lanka as a great nation with people who are suffering because of the political movement as well as about 30 key businessmen and the public service mafia of public servants.
