JVP Leader @anuradisanayake speaking on @hirunews TV now says he understands anger of peaceful protestors who were met with violence by State. Says MR does not know this is a different time & generation of 2022, when he can't use his same old chandi tactics.

Calls on people not to engage in violence although he understands their anger, says not to act in anger. Says we as a people have already faced enough attacks all over country. Says this land cannot bear any more violence. Promises to bring culprits before law.

Mentions how MR said this morning at Temple Trees that he would not bow down and would face any challenges, but says that MR faced them by bringing in thugs and attacking people. Says power (බලය) lies with the people of this country, not MR.
