A serious "moral crime" involving the distribution of obscene website links to Grade 6 students through a National Institute of Education (NIE) module has exposed deep-seated political cronyism connected to the Jathika Jana Balawegaya (NPP) leadership.

Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Prasad Siriwardana has launched a scathing attack on the current Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)/National People's Power (NPP) administration, branding it as a "little men's government" lacking any vision or the strength to implement major projects. Despite the massive public mandate, Siriwardana asserted that President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is a "little man" who is simply "perched on the edge" of the "big chair" of the presidency, fearful of making decisive moves. The MP's comments, made during an interview with an online channel, have sent shockwaves through the political arena.

The field of education, tasked with building the morality and discipline of the future generation, is confirmed to be plummeting into a deep abyss under the current National People's Power (JVP/NPP-NPP - Malimawa) government. The severe irresponsibility of including a link to a website with obscene and homosexual content in an English language learning module introduced for Grade 6 students has forced the Director General of the National Institute of Education (NIE), Professor Manjula Vithanapathirana, to resign from her post. This is widely accused not merely as a simple mistake, but as a consequence of the anarchy inherent in the NPP administration and the intense political pressure placed on officials.

The National People's Power (NPP), which rode to power on the promise of "change," is now engaging in any sordid political game to cling to power, a fact clearly confirmed by the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) budget vote. After suffering a major defeat by a margin of 3 votes in the first budget vote held on the 22nd, Malimawa secured a victory in their second attempt today (31st) by setting aside democratic principles and resorting to "poaching" opposition councilors and engaging in political conspiracies.
