if it was gota, culprit will be lifted by the sudu van, no need police to solve the problem, that is the difference, you ignorant idiots who still suck up to MR, if not for SF leadership Army would not have the will to defeat the terrorism also MR would never had guts to take the risk, also JHU played a key role to keep MR not running Prabhakaran to peace talks. otherwise knowing the personality and intelligence of MR he wouldn't know the difference between and cat and a dog

Sounds like this man is poor dude, President Sirisena should provide him securities as he is getting very popular as “Welli Raju”.Possibly offer him the armoured Jeep to protect from the MR Thugs!

Idiot, go ask this question from the man who axed him.

anil Friday, 27 March 2015 10:08 PM

was he lying face-down when the attack happened ? Does anybody know please?

banda Friday, 27 March 2015 09:50 PM

Do not cover the truth, tell us the real reason for the attack.

jayasingha Friday, 27 March 2015 09:42 PM

Hope he recovers soon. This just shows the company that he keeps. I think it is better to give him security to prevent him associating with bad company causing embarrassment to the president.

Perumal Friday, 27 March 2015 09:19 PM

If I could have my way I would have axed all the leaders, would-be leaders and to-be leaders and former leaders of this country

Even before elections it was out that this man was a thug himself.

Sing Friday, 27 March 2015 08:08 PM

Idiot, how can you brand a person as a thug if the guys have tattoos. Go so called private UNIs in colombo i am sure lot of pupils have tattoos.

Lima Friday, 27 March 2015 02:23 PM

THIS IS CALLED YAHAPALANAYA , BROTHER DO NOT HAVE SECURITY ANYBODY CAN GO NEAR , BUT HORA MHINDA FAMILY HAD 1000 OF SECURITY NOBODY CAN GO NEAR , SO ANYONE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE , WHO IS GENUINE , WHO IS ROGUE AND THUG

champi Friday, 27 March 2015 06:56 PM

Acording to meadia reports, raju was assaulted by one of his associates. When some one is attacked with an axe , that is called YAHAPALANAYA ...lol

ranga Friday, 27 March 2015 06:29 PM

Wrong...did know who to associate and who not to...to be assaulted by an axe, one can imagine who the brotherhood is keeping company with...

lalid Friday, 27 March 2015 05:55 PM

Why was he axed?? This is the question?

Podibappa Friday, 27 March 2015 05:04 PM

Mind your language,you silly ass

Yahapalana Friday, 27 March 2015 04:42 PM

People in Plonnaruwa know very well who Weli Raju is.

Gajaman Friday, 27 March 2015 04:41 PM

Not to axed even to hoot the brothers of former president would have been a real disaster.

silva Friday, 27 March 2015 04:21 PM

we wish him well via DM Android App

Prasanga Friday, 27 March 2015 04:24 PM

How does that prove Its yahapalanaya? It looks like sirisena brother is a thug with tattoos. MR has Brains and his brothers had security in 2010 after getting involved in the war.

Horapolice Friday, 27 March 2015 04:16 PM

Oh really did you know why he got axed.You might not like Mahinda but disrespecting a president who has dome something significant is really not DONE.... now dont feign ignorance that all other former and the current president are squeaky clean!!
