COLOMBO (News 1st) – Duminda Nagamuwa, Propaganda Secretary of the Frontline Socialist Party shared the politicians’ behavior on the current civil unrest across the country at a meeting yesterday (May 13).

He noted that in 1983 the politicians allowed racism to overwhelm the community in order to reap votes from everyone. He shared that history is repeating itself as politicians are stirring up ethnic communities for their own personal political gains. According to him, for politicians, it is just a gamble to secure votes, nothing more.
