අරගලයට ජයවේවා

It was not a rare incident and a few more followed some losing their lives, others ending up with serious burn injuries and losing property as well.


Later, it was revealed that the importers were trying to maximize their profits by changing the composition of the mixture.


followed by a shortage of cooking gases (LP), and queues started forming in front of places where they dispense cylinders.


Those queues became longer, and so did the waiting time to get one cylinder, and it was not because of the length of the queues but because we had no foreign currency to import LP gases from other countries.


How many people have lost their lives queuing up for a mere LP gas cylinder? 


This was forgotten with the shortage of petrol and diesel at sheds. 
The same story of forming queues in front of sheds was repeated just like in the case of LP gas, and some lines were longer than 6 kilos at times.


Some have even started boasting that after waiting more than 36 hours in the queue, they started to secure just 10 litres of fuel.


Unfortunately, again, a few more lives were lost while waiting for fuel for days in queues.


The kids and pregnant women lost their lives due to the non-availability of essential medicines in hospitals.


Many started to indulge in panic buying, but this was for those who could afford to stock up and not those who are daily wage earners and small business owners.


All of those were purely due to mismanagement of the country’s economy by incompetent people.


Thus born the Aragalaya.


And some idiots start to ask what Aragalaya has achieved.


One is that all those who were responsible for taking the country to its knees went hiding from the public and the culmination was that the president of the country, who was elected with 6.9 million votes, had to flee the country in the guise of darkness to seek refuge in another country.


The Aragalaya was not responsible for any of the economic disasters, but it was responsible for raising public awareness.


So, in support of that, the PUBLIC comes in hordes from all four corners of the country.


Now the government is using terror tactics to suppress the Aragalaya.
They may succeed in the short term, but it will not last long.


If anyone thinks that Aragalaya is a couple of ramshackle tents where hooligans in uniforms can come and destroy or beat unarmed civilians mercilessly, then they will be in for a shock soon.


ARAGALAYA will continue and it will bring the desired results as well.

Aflatoxins/poison contain food..... Do you think they really care about the country ??????
