Sri Lankan artists are to begin a Sathyagraha campaign this week urging the government to fulfill the promises it made to the public.
"The certain significant marks of the previous regime is visible in the present government and it is the public's duty to force the present government to get back into the right track," film director Dharmasiri Bandaranayake was quoted by Colombo Page as saying.
"the Sathyagraha campaign is being conducted to get the government into the proper track," an actor, Nishshanka Diddeniya added.
The campaign is to be held on Tuesday in Colombo.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
