The people of Punjab and Sindh where vast majority of Pakistani population resides are not known for their resistance or rebellious streak rather for their subservience and passivity. Sadly, we will never see the day...

They should be made to face the music. Their wealth should be confiscated . Elite must suffer consequences of their actions.

That is why for centuries we were ruled by foreigners.

If this was Pakistan, the military, intelligence agencies would secretly help the president and all corrupts to flee to the motherland Dubai/Saudia.

In Pakistan, immigration officers would have facilitated the corrupt till the arrival gates of Dubai and London.

Congratulations to Sri Lanka. Your country men have stood with your country and against the corrupt. You will surely see good days ahead. That’s the law of nature.

I can understand military want to protect the President, PM but if they're corrupt and dacoits then its treacherous to protect and aid them. Not talking about Srilanka.

Midnight reports emerging that Srilanka President GotabayaRajapaksa has fled the country minutes ago.

Flight likely on way to Maldives but has been refused permission to land.

Earlier reports emerged that US had refused him visa and India rejected permission to land.

That would be a huge setback for Sri Lanka if Rajpraksa managed to flee.

The best course of action would be to have a judicial commission followed by a life time jail for his thievery.
