“People of this country who wanted to good governance are still waiting for political aspirations what we raised during the presidential campaign as well as August general election. So what we expected from the government and common candidate is none of other than justice and equality. And now we are really concern about this issue as political allies of this government still as far as smooth hand forwards certain Mahinda Rajapakse regime specially people like Gotabhaya Rajapakse and also they are still specially president who is still have think have smooth hand about military specially military leaders, ex-army officers. So in that sense we think truth, justice and equality is waiting. as a citizen movement and citizens of this country wanted this government who is stand by the common candidate and Ranil Wickramasinghe is waiting their main political aspirations. And we need a kind of independent citizen movement in which we can achieve or we can raise the voice in favor of justice, equality and truth.”

As far as we concern his behavior and behavior is quite in favor of Gotabhaya Rajapakse and Rajapakse regime. He insisted few times specially in the parliament he insisted that he will never allow arrest Gotabhaya Rajapakse. That sense we are thinking it is a great issue. That is an issue against January 8 consensus.”
