[@bryanekenaike5688]

The calibre of Dr Haini, Dr Harasha, Eran and Mr Sumanthiran are what is urgently required in Sri Lanka today. If we have such leaders Sri Lanka will survive to be a paradise once again. May I wish you all well.

[@minarifernando9536]

So true

[@ajithkumar1951]

Eran had the courage to denounce the mud slinging actions of the SJB which none of the other members of the party are capable. Harini held her end extremely well and came out the best participant of all. Well done!!!!

[@WeeraddanaSilva]

she is always the best.Welll disciplined and spot on always. Not only her, all NPP team.

[@Truthtvsrilanka]

ERAN SHOULD BE THE LEADER OF UNP OR SJB

[@theitsupervisor]

I think Dr. Harini saved the best for the last. She summed-up all the candidates wisely.

[@NishanthiWendel]

I respect Eran. He is a gentleman. Well said Dr Harini. Dirty politic games.

[@harshaherath6011]

This lady just dominated the conversation. well done Harini showed how quality you can be argue to an complications. Cheers

[@nirmalaclements9274]

I think she arrived there in attack mode😂 😅however, Eran was very diplomatic and didn’t want to get into an argument. He was careful with his words.

[@HiranManjula]

❤❤

[@RollerGuideX]

@@nirmalaclements9274 She was understandably cross. To be accused of such falsehood, again and a again by the SJB primarily... Eran was smart and humble enough to know it was indefensible. And kudos to him for standing by his principles above party politics. It's this level of class we need in politics. Good job good job by both of them. Shame on SJB fellows who came up with this low class mud slinging plan. It only broke more votes of them inthe floating vote segment.

[@nirmalaclements9274]

@@RollerGuideX In politics they all make stupid statements. Therefore, if you choose to engage in politics you need to be a little thick skinned.🤔

[@RollerGuideX]

@@nirmalaclements9274 I take that point. True. No harm in challenging those who create fake stories as well. I watched an interview of Harini on Supreme TV. The anchor was very confrontational with her and all his interviews so far with various party personalities were very milkd, pedestrian almost. With Harini he upped the ante. And I felt she was too gentle with him. Given that backdrop, I'm happy she fired back. It's best to avoid confrontation but if a battle must come, you should be ready to fight it out. Especially when your own principles, values are questioned under falsehoods.

[@WarunaGuneratne-ff7po]

Dr Harini did out smart all of them!! Well spoken to the point not like the others!! That’s why I like NPP no bull shit! Straight to the point! Malimawata kotiyak!!

[@donwinjesinhga7358]

Well said, Harini Those days, we had more fear in state militants, not JVP. How many innocent youths were killed by the murderers of puthano's piyano. As young people, we were scared to say anything to those bloody state militants. They used to move around with guns in their hands. They didn't care about the rules of the country. What are these SJB , UNP, and other guys are talking about.

[@mannyk2755]

It’s shows she is well knowledgeable in sociocultural anthropology. Got a PhD in that field makes sense!

[@kadleisure]

Wow Dr Harin...Spot on

[@naveenperera7118]

For the past 75 years, people in both the North and South have been deceived by corrupt and incompetent politicians. This is our chance to change that and create a prosperous future for all of us. Vote for Anura

[@Openyoureyes-w7u]

Ranil doesn’t have a good team.

[@mangaladesilva910]

What’s wrong with having a secular state? Religion in politics is half the problem.

[@mannyk2755]

Very true! Pretty much most of the developed countries and even India is a secular country. Thats the reason they don’t have major political problems or turmoils.

[@mohamedkhalafamath2504]

​@@mannyk2755 India is anything but secular. Sri Lanka is far better.

[@mannyk2755]

@@mohamedkhalafamath2504 I’m talking about the constitution. If it wasn’t, India wouldn’t be India. It would have been divided in to many countries by now.

@@mannyk2755 Absolutely! I credit statesman Nehru for that.

[@mannyk2755]

@@Gordi_B yeah, but the main man behind such a robust constitution is non other than Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Also others played vital roles. Even though Nheru was a good statesmen for india he practiced Nepotism. Bringing his daughter Indira Gandhi to power. And I don’t have to tell you what she did to Sri Lanka and the Punjabi community in India.

See the Mr. Eran's answer and the clear pictures for Sri Lanka future ...

[@mdadprasad2319]

It is crystal clear that who has at least the intention of rebuilding this country. I think it should be better to be wise enough to choose our next leader who can make the future of our country while it is being taken out of this crisis which has been formed by a team for greediness of powder and money.

[@florentinecruze4853]

People need a change wait for another 2 days they will make the change

[@EarlESilva-fz5eu]

It’s true that the last president election he wasn’t much prepared as Eran mentioned and also the people didn’t have much knowledge about his traits and frailties’ But this time he will not have any excuses people know what he can do and cannot, I don’t think that people may have much positive preferences over him’

[@manithrupasinghe8744]

Intelligent representatives like eran & Harsha should be ashamed of themselves. They have repeatedly shown how incompetent they are when choosing a proper presidential candidate.

[@donwinjesinhga7358]

@@manithrupasinghe8744 exactly

[@mannyk2755]

Earn & Harsha are most probably got class issues. I don’t think they believe in wealth distribution. What Sri Lanka lacks in politics is a strong centre right party with good political ethics also a strong centre left. Unfortunately, the Sri Lankan society lacks the maturity to crate or support that sort of political ideologies.

[@AyanthiGunasekera]

Harini your arrogance baffles me. You hear people like Lalkantha behaving like thug and wanting to take over the parliament. And you say that we don’t have to say that we should not say that they are different from you ???

[@kisangasomacyril5724]

Harini, same thing have done by JVP. Im a victum. Many poor people have been short dead because they were the supports of other political parties. Therefore none of you are clean. So no point of talking about what you guys have done for the country in past. Please stop these nonsense as people knows about all the history. Bullshit all you politicians talks. So all of you, don't talk historty, talk about now. What your plans are, how you build this counrty. You are wasting time. I thought Harini was an educated and wise person. But to see you are not different to others. How stupid and careless political leaders we have. They life in past and talk all bullshit about history. Nothing useful

[@athulasamarasekera661]

Yes, agree, let Anurakumara takes over the next five years!

[@sorayahussain9855]

More like the next twenty years

[@lekhawalallawita3590]

Unfortunately, many people still believe that any Sri Lankan who can speak a bit of English is automatically an intellectual. This was evident with Eran, who struggled to comprehend the very first question he was asked based on Octavia Butler's quote. Instead of providing a clear response, he rambled, coming across as rather uninformed.

[@jekhanaruliah6668]

When you have a long gap, like at 28 minutes, it is annoying for the viewer and also shows you don't have advertisers. You should edit the gaps out

[@HussainFahmy]

*_Dr Harini opened a can of worms. Sri Lankans have every right to look into the JVP's past and must be very cautious when electing a strong leader. Can AKD be overpowered by the JVP once elected?_*

[@anandamarkalanda1878]

Inclusion of all sections of society is the foundational value of any democracy. And every country has a long standing culture and language which has to be duly recognized thru a democratic system. ( Sri Lanka has no preferential promotion other than recognizing its long history) e.g. Greece, Finland, England,etc...) Just look at the holidays .??...
