come on guys, dont blame the govt. and the police. after all they are trying to conduct a free and fair election and in the process come back to power. so, what's wrong with that? a score of houses, political offices, vehicles being damaged or burnt and a few murders, thuggery are so minor things in a free and fair election we really shouldn't be complaining at all.
just look at the returns for those pristine white and clean as a whistle politicians who come into power aftrer a free and fair election. we shouldn't deny them their dues.

who said that Sri Lanka is a war free country practically there is alkways clashes taking place daily these last few days yet there is a war taking place between minister's thugs and innocent civilians and to add toi this it's sad to see our puppet police officers are doing nothing but always conducting investigations which never has a result
what is the action the president and his jumbo cabinet ministers taking to prevent theese violence?????

Funny......There’s another story saying, that murder has nothing to do with politics. They say it was a family dispute....Apitama hondai mewa.....

Sri Lanka Police,
Is it as follows?

"Nine UNP supporters were arrested for attacking UNP supporters at a rally supporting General SF."

I expect this statement from Sri Lanka Police very soon.

Everyone except Sri Lanka Police know who's behind this attack. It's high time to rally against these goons.

It is really sad that this election is turning out to be so violent. Sri Lanka is over 60 years old and has been a continous democracy. Yet, we don't seem to possess the will needed to hold a peaceful election or change of government in a democratic/non-violent manner.

Not just priests, the govt has a set of religious leaders now to spread misleading stories.

Just heard (12.30pm) on TV news from JHU priest that these are SLFP supporters paid by the opposition to discredit the President. What convoluted logic - Musawada from a priest - not surprising he is a high up in the JHU.

Well said Bala. These are the priests who wants to go to ' Dharma Rajya". These type of people are well deserved the punishment once said by one of the late Prime Ministers of the country some times back.

This is the reason why we would all gather to protect democracy. Without democracy, there can be no development. So, Fonseka must win

Didn't MR initially state that he wants to conduct a free and fair election!! This is what he always does - says what people want to hear and then does exactly what he wants!!! He keeps insulting the peoples intelligence!

Attacking the opposition is tantamount to agreeing that you are defeated

Pure desparation. Like fish out of water.

All the neutral people should come forward and express their displease for this kind of activities. Country's democracy is in great danger. Still people need this chinthanaya.

Great achievement of the Police! But who are the people arrested? Ae they "also" mentally retarded? Just as the one who shot dead Ms Kusumawathie?

Keep them behind bars atleast until the 27th for a dual purpose - to avoid further attacks and to reduce the votes by atleast 9 and this will make the attackers (from both sides) ofcourse without arbitrary arrests) think twice before they attack the opponents.

When you preach violence & spread hatred on election platforms & on their favorite media these things have to be expected. What has happened to the dharmishta samajaya & the dharma deepaya promised by our politicians ? All these are the result of political & power greed by a few but sadly average voter doesnt understand this reality in the correct perspective. They are happy to do anything for the dollars they get of the bath packet they get for their masters.

Very good. as usual the corrupt and rotten police is always conducting "further investigations." They will NEVER arrest the culprits because they are the people who did the attack. This is a no man's land.
