evidence: A part of a speech by the journalist Tharindu Uduvaragedare went viral among netizens. In it, he claimed that no matter which party gets power, he will not allow the party to rule the country. In this video, Tharindu Uduvaragedare purportedly states, "They need to be stopped. No matter who comes to power, we will not let you do this. We would take over. We will be taking power in the next ten years. We would put a stop to this. Wasantha is in politics, Bope is in politics, Shastika is in politics, we are in politics. We would be firing within the next 10 years. We would put a stop to you all." [...] The edited version tries to imply that Tharindu Uduvaragedare stated that whoever comes to power will not be allowed to govern. However, when examining the entire video, it is clear that Tharindu has not mentioned such a statement.
