Is UNP is trying to get support from public in this manner? No arrests made and all the idiots are roaming out.

MS what you said - Culprits of UPFA will be arrested and put behind bars, now what is happening?

This means ... coming general election = Great victory for Mahinda.

Horri Jimonis Wednesday, 11 February 2015 12:29 PM

No arrests so far as said in the Political stages, arrested thug is released on bail, what is the logic Sir?

Desmond Jeromme Wednesday, 11 February 2015 12:31 PM

Mr. President you are so lenient, why not act like Mahinda? Take an example how he treated SF?
