Minister Wimal Weerawansa today accused the media of being biased in their reports on the clash that erupted before the Sirikotha Wednesday morning when a protest was staged by a group named ‘The Federation of National Organizations’ that is said to be affiliated to his party – the National Freedom Front (NFF).

 

“Is this so-called free-media blind? It was not a clash! It was clearly an attack that was launched on the innocent protestors by UNP MP Mujibur Rahuman and his thugs,” he charged.

 

He also commented on the crude comments that were made on former President Chandrika Kumaratunga by Higher Education Minister SB Dissanayake.

 

“Anyone has the freedom to make comments. In fact I don’t believe that people would see anything wrong with such comments made by Minister Dissanayake – both the UNP-ers and SLFP-ers agree with him on his statements on her,” he said.

    This country has gone to dogs!

    Is this the same Weerawansa who was criticizing the government so ruthlessly just a couple of months ago??. This is a fraudulent document, everybody knows that including idiotic Wimalawansa. So what is the basis for this big protest right in front of Srikotha. From the behavior of the protesters, it is quite evident that they have come prepared for an armed disruption. A bunch of paid thugs and cheap low level women.They got what they deserved.Vichy

    What more can you except from a person like wimal weerawansa. How can any sane person endorse the shameless statement made by none other than the minister of higher education of this country. It is no surprise that the education sector in sri lanka has plunged into such low levels.

    Very good heart warming speech. People want to know the UNP stance on 13 Amendment and withdrawal of the army from the North. Why are Ranil and Sirisena avoiding these issues?

    According to his own formula 2/2 =0 , Weerawansa is nothing but zero, hollow , empty and stupid.

    Lima Friday, 26 December 2014 02:59 AM

    HE IS A PIMP OF MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA , WHAT ELSE ANYBODY CAN SAY , ALL KNOW ABOUT HIM AND HIS BEHAVIOUR , SO SAD TO HIS PARENTS WHO HAS INVESTED TO BRING A USELESS GUY TO THIS WORLD

    Ram Friday, 26 December 2014 02:43 AM

    A person making a similar comment on a government VIP may not be safe at all. Weerawansa will say what SB said is acceptable because he is modawansa
