Tears of culprits
Sunday Island
|October 05, 2025
The Opposition and some civil society organisations are demanding that the long-delayed Provincial Council (PC) polls be held in 2025 itself.
-
Their representatives met at a conference held by the National Movement for Social Justice (NMSJ) in Colombo, the other day, to discuss the issue at length and pressure the government to hold the PC elections without further delay.
Among those who attended the NMSJ event were former Chairman of the Election Commission Mahinda Deshapriya, SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara, former President Maithripala Sirisena, Executive Director of PAFFREL (People's Action for Free and Fair Elections) Rohana Hettiarachchi, SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam, and NMSJ Chairman and former Speaker Karu Jayasuriya. They put forth compelling arguments in support of their campaign to have the PC polls held soon. But nothing could prevent them from sounding hypocritical. These self-righteous politicians owe an apology to the public for having contributed to the postponement of the PC polls.
