DNA Parliamentarian Vijitha Herath speaking to Daily Mirror online said that he has come to understand that Former Army Chief Sarath Fonseka has begun a fast at the Welikada prison, “The General was taken from the back door straight to the Welikada prison. He was scheduled to be taken for treatment to the hospital today and instead of taking him to the hospital the officials have taken him to the prison. According to what I have heard the General has begun a fast, but I can't give you more details on this right now,” he said. (Hafeel Farisz)
