Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) General Secretary and Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said today that in the wake of Police investigations ruling out any JHU involvement in the unrest in the Kandy district, the police should now reveal the political forces behind the violence.
He told a news conference that most of those arrested were identified as members of the Sri Lanka Podu jana Peramuna (SLPP) though the SLPP had blamed the JHU for the violence.
“Pro-Rajapaksa groups spread a rumour that the JHU was behind the Kandy riots. But the police investigations have revealed that none of the Buddhist monks or any other individuals with connections to the JHU were involved in the incident. Based on CCTV footage and other videos it were the pro-Rajapaksa groups involved in it,” he said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

If you are involved it does not mean JHU?

It was probably planned to coincide with Geneva proceedings. Someone could have anonymously shown provocative material to a bunch of hooligans who are just waiting for an excuse to run a riot.

Aney pow, who involved this innocent person into this? Even the police had nothing to do they were just spectators.They themselves set fire to their own business places and also demolished their own house to get only sympathy.

There was no proof of JHU involvement, people accept that,but there was proof that some other political party supporters,members and so on involved in the incident. Please involve seriously in order to bring the culprits before justice. People need you to do this. Thank you.
