Two suspects were arrested for allegedly throwing stones at a public meeting in Ratmalana which was attended by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa yesterday, police said.

They said the suspects were arrested last night following the incident.

The attack took place minutes after MP Premadasa began his speech. Bodyguards surrounded him as stones were being hurled to the stage.

Police said the two suspects aged 40 and 21 are alleged drug addicts from the Mount Lavinia area.

The suspects are to be produced before the Mount Lavinia Magistrate today. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Unlikely done for policy differences. Sure to be paid stone throwers by .... who can be bought cheap if drug addicts.

Whether the drug addict threw the stones or some one standing near the drug addicts threw the stones will never be known

These two men are backed by a prominent minister in the SLPP.

Drug addicts are not sane enough to do such things. It's a lame excuse, as usual.

Very suspicious of suspects.
