The wife of UNP MP Palitha Range Bandara is currently receiving treatment at the Sri Jayawardenapura hospital, after she was said to have been assaulted by the MP

The incident had occurred following an argument with the MP this morning.

The UNP MP is currently giving a statement to the Mirihana police, sources said

Highly placed hospital sources said that the wife of the MP would remain in hospital for further investigations.

“She has been physically assaulted but there are no major injuries. We will be carrying out further medical examinations” the source said. Meanwhile MP Palitha Range Bandara has denied assaulting his wife.

“ There was an argument this morning and that was it. She has falsely gone and said that I assaulted her which is untrue. I didn’t assault her. She fell down and that is what she is making out to be as an assault” he said.

When asked if the MP was contemplating divorce he said that he had no such intention.

“ As the old Sinhala adage goes, domestic issues between husbands and wives last only until the pot of rice gets cooked. “ Pawul prashna thiyenne batha idenakan withraine” – so I have no intentions of divorce,” he said.( ISA)

People supposed to be in lunatic asylum are in parliament, but who sent them there?

He is now well qualified to hold a cabinet position in the government. Cross over Inspector !

Nodrog Saturday, 18 August 2012 11:00 AM

He will say he cannot remember or the wife beat herself up.

Lady Matilda Saturday, 18 August 2012 11:00 AM

This is personal matter Aney. Why should anyone worry. The wife also must know how to behave no.

citizen junior Saturday, 18 August 2012 11:24 AM

Yes Jagath ,this is the type of people they give nomonations to, UPFA , UNP or JVP all are same

Shaik Ahamath Saturday, 18 August 2012 11:36 AM

This poor lady will no doubt recover but the fact remains that he assaulted another human being. No matter what the wrong, if any, she had done, he has no right to lay a hand on her.

Roy Saturday, 18 August 2012 12:27 PM

Poor thing.

john Saturday, 18 August 2012 12:46 PM

Why did you go to beat your wife?!! It a shame to be a responsible person and to do so.

Lanka Kolla Saturday, 18 August 2012 01:14 PM

This is how Sri lankan's settle their disputes. Beat the wife, friend. collegue, domestic helper, subordinates ....Alteast now the females are not shy to disclose these incidents. We are far away from lving in a civilised society. Unless we are prepared to live like civilised people, respecting fellow human beings Sri lanka will not improve. These are the things the religous leaders should discuss not the the theorotical Bana that is preached.

IBNUABOO Saturday, 18 August 2012 01:29 PM

quarrel between husband and wife is a day to day matter every where. their personal subject too. this should not be made a news and highlighted in public. this is not media value

Gamini Saturday, 18 August 2012 02:19 PM

This is not our business. Let them be.

buwa Saturday, 18 August 2012 02:33 PM

Agree with, House matter should not be taken to public. Even its a minnor matter, this publicity makes thingd verse.

Hussain Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:03 PM

he should become a women affairs minister.

Lanka Kolla Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:24 PM

After beating the wife, who is physically a much weaker person, the (may become a minister one day), which itself is shameful act, the MP (May become a minister one day) is also talking about a divorce. Domestic violence in SL should be condemned and strict punishment should given if found guilty.

Imran Hussein Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:08 PM

100% agree. Most of them are sadists.

Rubert Vanderkoon Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:30 PM

Grow up guys. This is not a private matter, here somebody has beaten another, that may be OK for some people but in the civilised world it is not accepted.

upul Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:27 PM

Who knows hand might be touch hard by mistake.

yup Monday, 20 August 2012 01:52 AM

i think its something personal , nothing political

Tom Saturday, 18 August 2012 10:10 PM

I hate people who is over reacting to any situations.Be respectful for any kind of argument or disagreement.

nishadha Saturday, 18 August 2012 07:24 AM

this is the true side of the public servents today no matter which party, theya are. Just think a man who beats his wife no matter what ( there may be reasons but, ) is no suit for a public servant.

salim Saturday, 18 August 2012 07:20 AM

charterrr

lalith Saturday, 18 August 2012 07:39 AM

if a mp cant respect his wife how can they serve the public?

Zeus Saturday, 18 August 2012 07:48 AM

Way to go! way to go! dont stop at committing crimes only in public. What standards! what upbringing and we the masses have to look up to this political circus! The word SHAME doesnt exist in our lingo.

Rubert Vanderkoon Saturday, 18 August 2012 08:13 AM

A woman beater should never be allowed anywhere near the public office. Public servants should be exemplary and patient.

Dan Saturday, 18 August 2012 08:29 AM

Which wife?We can remember he got few wives.Some time back one did a protesting against him close to parliament.

jJagath Leanage Saturday, 18 August 2012 08:35 AM

What has happened to these M.P.s'. Earlier Upeksha (Paba). Now Range Bandara.

Fusion Saturday, 18 August 2012 08:52 AM

So you beat your wife? "Hari loku wedak ne karala thiyenne obathuma". Next time when you get beaten up by some government thugs, please spare a thought for your wife.

Dines Jhonny Monday, 20 August 2012 04:05 AM

Husband and wife having difficulties. Why are we throwing stones from glass houses. We as a human species in this domain together.

Man and woman fundamentally not the same. Its hard marrying and try being like one. How can we be that which we are not ?

Besides marriage is the root of a lot of evil, such as divorce, divorce lawyers, fees, child custody, prostitution, extra marital affairs.....

Address the root cause, its marriage that is the problem !

Sue Monday, 20 August 2012 04:13 AM

Shame on you Matilda, you definitely are no "Lady"

sham Saturday, 18 August 2012 09:21 AM

All these are personal matters. There are many like these. I think his wife trying to ballooned the incident with their popularity....

kumaraya Saturday, 18 August 2012 09:28 AM

He is a typical politician; he only wants the pot of "bath"

Mala Saturday, 18 August 2012 10:03 AM

owa ohoma thamai !!

Subbiah Saturday, 18 August 2012 10:11 AM

Even if she is his legal wife, he has no right to beat her. People should reject such public servants.
