I really appreciate the opposition leader of 🇱🇰 SL @sajithpremadasa's interest in #multilinguism. This is so true. It's Nelson Mandela who said "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."

However, speaking another's language is not the same as having empathy. The president of 🇱🇰SL @RW_UNP addressed a Tamil Sri Lankan Human Rights activist in Paris & said "If you don't know English, speak in Tamil, I understand." That's an insult. Watch⤵️. x.com/easwaranrutnam…

I’m sure it will be a great disappointment for the advocates to learn that industrial policy is no magic bullet. Can you imagine the IMF summarizing another study as “central bank independence is no magic bullet…”.? That’s how your ideology shows.

Central Bank Independence constitutes a tyranny of the minority of economic elites—the purposeful limitation of an actionable socially conscious political consensus in the pursuit of functional finance. It is a neoliberal trojan horse. @MonetaryBlog medium.com/@monetarypolic…
“Wealthy nations exploit their position as the world’s bankers to siphon off hundreds of billions from the needy” - Guardian. @IMFNews mustn’t push SL into private creditor hands & SL government must protect it from financial colonialism. @Jayati1609 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
BASL has called for removal of Tiran Alles as Public Security Minister, noting that the recurring pattern of his irresponsible, arbitrary, misleading remarks underscores need for corrective action. Condemns his most recent words, amounting to encouraging extrajudicial killings ⬇️
Always proud of #JNU students!
Always been a very promising politician. After 45 years let's keep believing him. Next time I am sure he will really mean it. 🤷🏻♂️ #SriLanka
Sri Lanka’s agreement with the @IMFNews must be renegotiated to reduce the burden on the poorest people. @eurodad @debtjustice @KusumW @S_Wanigabaduge @Faraz_media @roshananne @samarajiva @himalkk @MarianneDavid24 @nimilamalee @kulanthisilva @j_uditha @talalrafi7 @kanchana_ipe_sl
I'm going to keep asking this every day till the govt takes some (any?) action. RT with me! @RW_UNP When are you going to arrest people who brought the country to economic collapse? Or are you only arresting protestors and letting the politicos go? Day 634 #JusticeLKA
lol. Nothing except fiscal austerity is a magic bullet according the IMF.

@KusumW @sjbsrilanka @sajithpremadasa Shall we ask all interested to take this political compass test? I take it from time to time. We should all reflect where we stand. What do you think? politicalcompass.org It's better than all this වලි about the languages they speak & who lives abroad.
