UNP MP Ranjan Ramanayake told journalists today he was arrested in the absence of a complaint made to the police and when neither his number nor voice had yet been identified.

He said it was the second time that he was arrested without a complaint.

“No Magistrate has complained to any law enforcement agencies,” the MP said. “People, who want me arrested, assume that I have influenced legal proceedings."

However, he said in reality, he had not influenced any of the Magistrates and added it was them who telephoned him requesting for police security.

“Most of the audio clips, which are being circulated, have been dubbed and some contain things which I have never uttered like disregarding Buddhism,” the MP said. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

It's OK. Ranjan. You will survive and rise up like a Phoenix this time. Release all tapes ASAP.

Why don't you give a call to the judge?

Reports the prisoners, good looking ones trying to keep a distance from him. Why not a single UNP not there today? Dittadammavedineeya Kamma.

We believe in you,Ranjan. Repercussion will follow. Refer Newton's third law.

Your stupid statement displays your lack of knowledge about the law, you uneducated and uncouth moron. Who is the crooked judge who will complain after conniving with you to break the law? You have turned the housing complex at Madiwela to a mass scale brothel. You and your whores (some of whom are still in parliament) are a curse on this nation. The sooner you are put behind bars the better.

Who ever is telling the truth many facts about the behind the scenes sculldugery is exposed. What always existed just got exposed. High time Sri Lanka looks inwards.
