Police fired tear gas and water canon to disperse Joint Opposition protestors who staged a protest at the Indian Consulate office in Hambantota a short while ago.
Joint Opposition MPs Namal Rajapaksa, D.V. Upul, Arundika Fernando, Kumar Welgama, Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Chamal Rajapaksa participated in the protest.
The Hambantota Magistrate Court yesterday issued a restraining order preventing protests by MP Namal Rajapaksa and D.V. Upul in the vicinity of the Hambantota Port, Indian Consulate and the roads leading to the Hambantota Port today.

Backed by Mahinda spent 11.5 million, arranged rowdies of JO lead by Namal, this is the truth, Hence all the JO politicians involved in this nasty act should be kept behind bars.
Desmond Jeromme Friday, 06 October 2017 06:29 PM
Justice Minister knows who backed this gangsters, why not she order the arrest of all junk politicians of JO.
D. Sritharan Friday, 06 October 2017 06:31 PM
Professor, I agree with you - Madam Thalatha should now get into the field and act fast, other-wise she too will be ranked as WR.
Ronnie Bugger Friday, 06 October 2017 03:08 PM
The ring leaders have gone against a court order preventing rallies among other things. Why haven't the Police arrested them for contempt of Court ?
HYPOCRITES Friday, 06 October 2017 06:03 PM

Undesirables outnumber desirables by a huge margin in current political set-up.
Ram Friday, 06 October 2017 03:48 PM
When the big politicians disobey the law and directions made by court what can you expect from the normal civillians. Police should have arrested Namal
S. Abeysekera (Lawyer) Friday, 06 October 2017 06:24 PM
DM -If you take a count of voters who wish Namal should be arrested at any cost.

this is based on political benefit, and the poor people only effected by this kind of politics, we have to remember one thing - politics vs poor, if politics high then poor also high, if we stop politics then no poor in this nation

This is too lenient. They should have done a Rathupaswala!!

In a Democracy its not only the protesters who have the right its also the civilians who have rights. These protesters and other protesters such as student bodies, GMOA etc are being funded by illegal money to topple the government. They have no right to do it. Its time the Government and especially the police take very stern action against these protesters as they are hindering the smooth running of the lives of ordinary citizens. Take very strong action, take them into custody and do not give bail.
Dhammika Friday, 06 October 2017 06:11 PM
MARA and his family will do anything to disrupt the progress of Lanka until the family is back in power to loot the rest and they still think they are above the law as it is contempt of court (After a court order has been issued) . Most who led this should have been behind bars and the fault lies with RW who plays a double game.
Kumar Friday, 06 October 2017 06:24 PM
Indians are in Hambantota to SPY on Sri Lankan cooperation with China,just like the Indians are in Jaffna.Only a stupid government would allow this to happen.

If "Yahapalanaya" does not take any action against this rowdies, then it is going to be very dangerous indeed.... take it from me.
AM Friday, 06 October 2017 06:56 PM
Against the court order, police should have arrested the culprits
Harry Friday, 06 October 2017 07:10 PM
Indian Consulate offices in Hambanthota? Wow in addition to Colombo, Jaffna, Kandy - For What?????
Jaffna Man Friday, 06 October 2017 09:30 PM
Indians are slowly taking over while our brainless Prime Minister is taking it so easy.
Harry Friday, 06 October 2017 07:13 PM
Excellent!!! Why not the same treatment for GMOA who had paralyzed the whole country for years?
daham Friday, 06 October 2017 08:50 PM
Now whole country is against this government. At the near future whole population may come out to the roads against this government. You wait and see.

Our MPs show us how to respect the courts ruling.
Summa Friday, 06 October 2017 09:10 PM
Why I missed this opportunity to see all the bunch of thieves in 1 place ....
fareed Saturday, 07 October 2017 04:03 PM
The protesters are thugs because they violated the court order. They should be jailed for contempt of court. If it happened during the former regime, they would have killed at least a couple of dozens.
Sambo Saturday, 07 October 2017 07:54 PM
"Hooray" they deserve it well and truly.
