I believe, we could contribute ingeniously to moving
towards good governance in Sri Lanka – by engaging constructively, patiently and
vigilantly – keeping the momentum of all diverse forces that brought
this unprecedented positive outcome for the people of Sri Lanka alive.​This unprecedented dynamic collective that was not involved in partisan
politics, opened the doors for this change of direction. We need to keep
this momentum for change alive, through maintaining the peoples’ desire
for change, so that any hesitation or vacillation on the part of the
new regime can be prevented. Then the new regime will have no option but
to implement what they have pledged during the election campaign.
Despite the possibility of deferments and vacillations of the new
regime, this social collective need to be more organised, energetic and
vigilant so as to keep up its momentum for change lively.
