UPFA MP Namal Rajapaksa was today questioned for nearly five hours by the CID on how one of his armed security officers came to be at President Maithripala Sirisena’s meeting in Angunukolapelassa.

He was also questioned about Southern Provincial Council Minister D.V. Upul, who in his presence, had threatened to stone to death the police officers attached to the Financial Crime Investigation Division (FCID).

A corporal attached to Mr. Rajapaksa’s security detail, was arrested by CID detectives earlier and produced before the Agunukolapelassa Magistrate on May 2 for carrying a pistol at a meeting attended by the President at Angunukolapellassa on April 25.

At a May 31 public gathering which was attended by Mr. Rajapaksa and several other politicians representing the Hambantota District, Mr. Upul had threatened to stone to death the FCID officers after former president Mahinda Rajapaksa returns to parliament as prime minister.

“I was questioned about the ‘water bottle’ incident and the remarks made by provincial minister D.V. Upul. I extended my support to the investigations and hope I will be summoned again under ‘yahapalanaya’,” Mr. Rajapaksa told the media outside the CID office.

    People in power wanted to upset Kurunegala rally and they took Johnston into custody. In Matara rally, they wanted to disrupt it and ask Namal to appear on the same date. To their disappointment all these rallies were highly successful eventually.

    Why waste time on this. If you notice the crowd behind him it says it all. People who rally around him is to manipulate for their gain and not for the betterment of the country.

    This MP should be taken and locked-up to join his uncle for challenging that our security officers cannot recognize pistol from a water bottle.

    Amila Friday, 12 June 2015 04:04 PM

    Hora kawadawath horakam kala kiyan naha. Prosecution must prove the guilty of defendant. So let see what will happen next....

    So, you maintained "water-bottle" is your security weapon, eh! How good if all our soldiers are given only "water-bottle" to protect the Nation!!

    Park Friday, 12 June 2015 05:49 PM

    Blatently lying that the gun was a water bottle clearly shows that Namal is involved in this incident.

    Nandanee Friday, 12 June 2015 05:42 PM

    Forget your bottle - call it a TOY PISTOL - like in the good old days !

    MY QUESTION IS WHY YOU ALL WASTE TIME CALLING AND VIDEO AND GATHERING WITH POEPLE , THIS GUY IS A SHIT AND NO NEED ANY INTRODUCTION , SUCH A CORRUPTED MURDERER , WHY THE PUBLIC IS BEHIND HIM, WHY TEH ROGUES ARE BEHIND HIM, WHY NOT THE CID FINISH HIM OFF, WITHOUT STAGING A DRAMA

    Bala Friday, 12 June 2015 04:20 PM

    If he said these words as an opposition member when his father was in power, he will be no more. He has the freedom to speak today thanks to yahapalanya which he mocks now like a hero.
