North Western Province Chief Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara and United National Party (UNP) parliamentarian Harin Fernando are reported to have exchanged fisticuffs during the commercial break of a political programme on a private television channel on Tuesday night.
Prior to the commercial break, there had been a serious argument between the two of them. After the programme was stopped for the commercial break, Mr. Fernando alleged that Mr. Jayasekara assaulted him. It had led to an exchange of blows between the two.

What a shame other MP's participated didn't carry a smart phone to record the incident would have been marvellous

Its funny to see how people only comment on what Dayasiri did.. When Harin was speaking ill of Dayasiri he just listened to it.. But when Dayasiri was replying Harin was interrupting and provoking Dayasiri.. Sad to see how people only see one side of the story.. via DM Android App

Now free media should take a decision on these two people. Ban them in any TV program. They are sick.

I would have loved to see the video on the boxing match rather than the debate itself. Pls be careful, during the May Day rally he performed a Rambo dance on Colombo streets.
