Joint Opposition MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage today sent a letter of demand to Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake and Kandy District MP Ananda Aluthgamage demanding Rs. 500 million each, over alleged defamatory remarks made against him.

Mr. Aluthgamage said he would take legal action against the duo, if they failed to pay the amount within two weeks.

Deputy Minister Ramanayake on Tuesday at a news conference alleged Mr. Aluthgamage had used an unregistered Defender vehicle to carryout illegal activities including assaults.

He said the vehicle had been parked at the premises of Parliamentarians Quarters at Madiwela.

Mr. Ramanayake had also claimed that UNP MP Ananda Aluthgamage was the one who gave him the information about the vehicle.

Addressing the weekly news briefing of the Joint Opposition today, MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage denied the allegations and said Deputy Minister of Sports had admitted that the vehicle belonged to him.

“The allegations are mere fabrications. Mr. Ramanayake is acting in Parliament as well. He should know that Parliament is not a theatre, where he can fool others by playing different characters,” he said.

It was also reported that Mr. Ramanayake and Mr. Aluthgamage had exchanged blows in the Parliamentary complex over the incident.

However, Mr. Aluthgamage denied the reports and said only words were exchanged, not blows. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Ranjan please hand over case to CID with the letter of demand for trying to extort money - that way CID will follow up the full facts on the Defender vehicle.

    During the last election, he was distributing Carom boards lavishly to every one in his district. Some have got 3-4 boards to a family, is it his money? He has raped so many women in his area, people can prove it. Such a dirty fellow is trying to be a saint. Ha..Ha..Ha..

    The whole world knows Aluthgamage played out in billions and in order to cover this - he is playing a drama, that is all.

    Without any further delay FCID should take action against Mahinananda and put him behind bars like Gamampilla.

    J Palitha Thursday, 23 June 2016 05:33 AM

    Yes, he is only playing a drama. He had earned more than 10.5 billion along with his boss Mahinda.

    Mahinananda is a well known looter in Nawalapitiya does every bad acts with his thugs - even murders. That is why his wife left him and ran away.

    Aluthgamage will undoubtedly cut his throat (following his boss) if the allegations were proven correct.

    THIS IS THE USUAL RHETORIC OF PERSONS WHO ARE ACCUSED OF CERTAIN MISDEEDS AND SUCH THREATS HARDLY REACHES COURTS.

    500 Million appear to be the worth of Politicians. It was yesterday Arjuna asked for 500 M x 3 fro the Trade Union Leaders

    deebi Wednesday, 22 June 2016 02:57 PM

    sending only a letter of demand is not enough .file a case and hold a press conference and announce the case number and the trial dates.

    Mahela Perera Wednesday, 22 June 2016 02:37 PM

    Is Aluthgamage trying to clean himself? hehe...

    Arjuna Ranawana Wednesday, 22 June 2016 01:08 PM
