Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa’s son Rohitha said the arrest of his brother Namal was a part of the government’s witch-hunt of its opponents and that it was the ministers who decide when to arrest and when to release opposition politicians.

He said it had become a normal routine to visit his brothers in prison and that it had become his second home.

Mr. Rajapaksa said his brothers had done a great service for the development of Rugby and Rugby had gained international exposure as a result.

“Rugby will have no future because of arrests like this because sponsors will back away from supporting rugby," he said. (Ajith Siriwardena)

Rohitha, as a brother, did you ever ask him how he made all that money or you were blind and enjoyed the tamashas when the going was good?

That witch hunt will be over when you brother reveals how he got 70 million from Krish! Its so simple as that.

You also have a case for sending rocket on public expenses for nothing,

Arrests are made in order to divert the attention of the masses of miserable failure of yahapalana

Jagath Leanage Tuesday, 12 July 2016 03:23 PM

Rohithantoo should be taken to custody. His father paid millions of dollars to paste a Sri Lankas's flag on a rocket because this man like aero space enginering. Part which carried flag fallen down in few minutes after taking off the rocket.

Since this comment has been made by a renowned Space Scientist, we must believe every bit of what he states as absolute truth and nothing but the truth. If only MaRa was still in power, we would be having our own docking station in space, thanks to professional Space Scientists in our midst. Sadu Sadu.
