T.D. Nandarasa, a former member of the Ambagamuwa Pradeshiya Sabha, filed a fundamental rights petition in the Supreme Court today seeking an order to prevent elections being held to the Ambagamuwa Pradeshiya Sabha (PS).

He said the Ambagamuwa PS had been divided into three Pradeshiya Sabhas of Norwood, Ambagamuwa and Maskeliya and that this would lead to ethnic clashes.

Mr. Nandarasa said the new demarcation had affected the ethnic composition and in this process the rights of Sinhala Buddhists had been violated. (Ranjan Katugampola and Manopriya Gunasekara)

Here is an idiot trying to start up a problem in an area that has no ethnic clashes. This man has other motives that's why he is a former member of the Ambagamuwa Pradeshiya Sabha. He has the rights to file a FR complaint ... but if exercising his rights can violate the right to vote thousand of others. Let the people vote and don't start up a problem in a area that has NO PROBLEMS.

Hey man Jaliya not this Nandarasa is trying to start up a problem. But the people who divided the Ambagamuwa Pradeshiya Sabha based on the races are trying to start up a problem.
