    No action had been taken to the officers [guards] who were on duty at that point as scribbling ones name over there would take a considerable time!

    Jeff Friday, 01 May 2015 08:31 AM

    What for?

    Leda Friday, 01 May 2015 04:41 AM

    Should would have been released earlier if she fell and admitted to national hospital immediately after the arrest. Unfortunately she is not a parliament member to do so

    And put a glass wall over the Katapath Pawura for its protection. Avoiding future damage. via DM Android App

    What nonsense of interference in judiciary ? Is it a criminal offence ? The innocence of the woman should have been reasonably considered by the magistrate himself or herself without any kind of bias.

    Jamalji Thursday, 30 April 2015 08:10 PM

    She is innocent and ignorant. She had not done with an intention. Two years jail was too harsh. I thank his Excellency for giving reprieve.

    RAM Thursday, 30 April 2015 05:08 PM

    Good news.Dear all medias, Please give much publicity to this as warning/precaution to others who have lack of law/rules knowledge. Also warning signs should be in all three languages with reasonable text size.

    THE ONLY SIMILARITY IS THAT ONE IS SINHA GIRIYA, AND THE OTHER ONE IS SINHA KODIYA.

    interference in judiciary. Take note voters this is your My3.

    kithudugama Thursday, 30 April 2015 02:08 PM

    Can some body send me her phone number or the email address my phone no. 0773164227

    Calistus Jayatilleke Thursday, 30 April 2015 01:05 PM

    How could one even think of comparing the two cases. Whilst the Sigiriya girl did it innocently, those who used the distorted flag did it intentionally in order to create communal disharmony.

    perera Thursday, 30 April 2015 12:30 PM

    Upali do not ralk rubbish,listen to what that racist gamanpila said about the flag

    Gal ibba Thursday, 30 April 2015 12:20 PM

    SHE REMINDED THE WORLD ONCE AGAIN THAT LOVE IS BLIND. ....... SHE HAD SELECTED HER BOY FRIEND SUPERIOR TO KING KASYAPA. .......

    upali Thursday, 30 April 2015 10:57 AM

    Similar to Lions flag issue because of unawareness of tiny difference of a flag which resembles almost same.

    wijethunga Thursday, 30 April 2015 10:25 AM

    we should protect our national heritage.At the same time young generation must know the value of these heritages.

    Cobra Thursday, 30 April 2015 10:12 AM
