Political Patronage and Moral Calamity: PM Harini Amarasinghe Implicated in NIE Porn Link Scandal

‘Little Men’s Little Government’: SJB MP SLAMS NPP, Says Anura is Just Perched on the President’s Chair!

Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Prasad Siriwardana has launched a scathing attack on the current Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)/National People's Power (NPP) administration, branding it as a "little men's government" lacking any vision or the strength to implement major projects. Despite the massive public mandate, Siriwardana asserted that President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is a "little man" who is simply "perched on the edge" of the "big chair" of the presidency, fearful of making decisive moves. The MP's comments, made during an interview with an online channel, have sent shockwaves through the political arena.

NIE Director General Forced to Resign Amid ‘Obscene Content’ Scandal, Exposing NPP Regime’s Chaos

The field of education, tasked with building the morality and discipline of the future generation, is confirmed to be plummeting into a deep abyss under the current National People's Power (JVP/NPP-NPP - Malimawa) government. The severe irresponsibility of including a link to a website with obscene and homosexual content in an English language learning module introduced for Grade 6 students has forced the Director General of the National Institute of Education (NIE), Professor Manjula Vithanapathirana, to resign from her post. This is widely accused not merely as a simple mistake, but as a consequence of the anarchy inherent in the NPP administration and the intense political pressure placed on officials.

UNP-SJB Alliance Seals Deal to Counter ‘Malimawa’ Threat: Sajith to Lead New Alliance, Ruwan as Deputy, Ranil as Senior Advisor!

In a decisive move to halt the arbitrary advance of the National People's Power (NPP/JVP-led 'Malimawa'), which is currently burdening the public with excessive taxes and attempting to curtail civil liberties through repressive "PSTA"-like black laws, Sri Lanka's two main democratic forces, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and the United National Party (UNP), joined hands yesterday (30) in Colombo. Political commentators hail the cordial discussion—held between Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa and UNP Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene, Deputy Chairman Akila Viraj Kariyawasam, and Vice President Naveen Dissanayake—as the inaugural bell for saving a country currently sliding towards anarchy.

NPP’s ‘Change’ Pledge Crumbles: Budget Win Marred by Allegations of ‘Poaching’ and Political Deals

The National People's Power (NPP), which rode to power on the promise of "change," is now engaging in any sordid political game to cling to power, a fact clearly confirmed by the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) budget vote. After suffering a major defeat by a margin of 3 votes in the first budget vote held on the 22nd, Malimawa secured a victory in their second attempt today (31st) by setting aside democratic principles and resorting to "poaching" opposition councilors and engaging in political conspiracies.

NPP GOVERNMENT HIT BY FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS PETITION OVER ‘DITWAH’ STORM CATASTROPHE

A lawyer from Kandy has filed a Fundamental Rights petition in the Supreme Court, claiming that the failure of the National People's Power (NPP/JVP) government to prevent or minimise the severe destruction caused by Cyclone "Ditwah" has violated his basic human rights.

Draconian Terror Law Threatens Democracy in Sri Lanka, Critics Warn

The National People's Power (NPP) government, led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, is facing fierce criticism over its proposed "State Security (Counter-Terrorism) Bill" (PSTA), which opponents argue is an attempt to establish a repressive regime in the country. The collective "Dinana Dakuna" (Winning South) describes the bill, introduced under the guise of preventing terrorism, as a "double-edged sword"—an extremely dangerous and draconian legal framework. The organization highlights the profound irony (paradox) that the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), which protested against repressive laws like the PTA, CTA, and ATA under various governments since 1979, is now introducing a similarly restrictive legal structure after coming to power.
