The Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) General Secretary MP Udaya Gammanpila, who took part in the protest which turned violent at Hambantota on Saturday, charged that government MPs had brought thugs from elsewhere to the location of their protest to make it violent.

The MP said United National Party (UNP) MPs Chandima Gamage and Nalin Bandara Jayamaha were behind this.

“These MPs brought thugs to Hambantota. Residents regardless of their political differences, united to chase the outsiders away. That is what happened,” MP Gammanpila told a news conference.

He said their protest was peaceful and the water attack was launched while Ven. Omare Kassapa Thera was chanting Karaniya Metta Sutta. “The Government wanted to prevent the monks from issuing a Sangha Order,” he said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Government can not allow 100 paid thugs to disrupt everything from damaging buses, threatening railway workers, hospitals, disrupting Hambantota ceremony, etc. Good job that thugs used to chase away mercenaries.

    At last government has realized that only poison can kill poison. Better late than never!

    You are not from Hambantota - so why not others from any area come there. Your supporters were also from other districts - that is the nature of these games you politikkas play.

    Hello Gammanpila, first do you know the real meaning of "Pivithuru"? Please try to do and say things in a much more 'pivithuru' way. People with good senses just go mad at the silly things you come out with your big mouth!
