Dr Sarath Obeysekera\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

Priorities of the rulers at this moment is to finds funds to provide free health and education, subsidised fuel, services to public such as police protection, crime busting , eradicating drug menace, maintaining law and order,disposing garbage,upholding judiciary etc .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we find funds country , country should  save part\nand also spend carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I left work like many people working in the city\nto home from port to Battaramulla via Galleface,Kollupitiya ;Borella;\nRajagiriya .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday It took me two long hours to reach home.Luckily I\nwas in my car doing some work in my computer,but others do not have that\nprivilege .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some youngsters can use their smart phone and spend time in\npublic transport .Other state and private sector employees will be watching the\ntraffic sanarling in a frustrating speed and cursing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we hear over the radio that IUSF consisting youngsters\nwho are enjoying all the facilities listed above ,particularly free\n education have resorted to go on protesting in Kollupitiya near prime\nminister\u2019s office. They know that that sort of action will cause difficulties\nto ordinary people including their mothers and fathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executive and cabinet are behaving like bulls \/horses\npulling a cart with worn wheels in two different direction hence they are\nunable to anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly both sections should work together and take bold\ndecisions to stop such somewhat Terrorising\u201d the public-action instigated by\nJVP and rival leftist parties with backing of opposition .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be done only by force if they are not ready to\nunderstand the logic of doin* such demonstration will cause inconvenience to\ntheir fathers ,mothers,uncles etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They should be stopped before they congregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have emergency law in force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why police allow them to act like this ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they want to show their power to politicians who live and\nwork heart of the city,political leaders  should move out of the\ncity <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My very unrealistic proposal is that rulers should put up\ntheir offices in a place in the middle of Muthurajawela  or at far corner\nof Port City where IUSF or any other organisation cannot protest due to\ndifficulty to have access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TV can give publicity using large TV screens like the\n ones used they use to show Worldcup cricket funded by beer companies\nwhere beer is sold in a happy hour mood at half price<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All youngsters will prefer drinking beer thanking Mangala\nand go home <\/p>\n\n\n\n
