Replying to a query from the media regarding the statements of a group of individuals that Minister John Amaratunga was responsible for the demolition of the Wattala jogging track and that he should be arrested, he said that it would be wild goose chase that would never materialize.

He said the land belonged to a private company and that they had obtained permission to construct a road. He said he was not aware who demolished the jogging track but the company was reconstructing it.

When the journalists mentioned about the statement of a group of parliamentarians that he should be arrested in connection with the incident he gave a sarcastic reply that it would be wild goose chase and that their foolhardiness should be ignored. (Kanchna Kumara Ariyadasa)

We know this making making trips with MaRa to get close to the invisible hand. He may say the invisible hand removed the walking track as it was private property. Yahapalanaya?

That is what every politician in Sri Lanka does. They have mastered the art of not leaving any trace of evidence behind when engaged in illegal criminal activities.

The minister should have said "wild animal chase'

As a minister you could easily find out who demolished the track instead of saying "I don't know who did it".

Chase this wild boar before he tarnishes the Govt. and the reputation of president and PM.They should not have any soft corner or fear for this arrogant man.

Agree, arresting him won't make any sense..... But shooting him below the knee may.....
