Claiming that attacks on MPs' residences were not restricted to May 9, Minister Kanchana Wijesekara said today MPs residences were being attacked from April 4.

He told Parliament that some organised groups started attacking the residences of MPs after the incident where the President's private residence was surrounded by a group of protesters on April 3.

The Minister said his residence was first attacked on April 4.

"Carlton House and Roshan Ranasinghe's house were first attacked on April 4 and 5. I reject the claims that the attack on MPs' residences started on May 9. This is an organised attack," he said.

He also refuted claims that the meeting at Temple Trees provoked the people who gathered there to attack protesters on Galle Face.

He said politicians of JVP, SJB and Frontline Socialist Party were responsible for making statements in Parliament and on stages provoking people against MPs.

"Law should be implemented against the MPs who made provoking statements," he said.(Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

    Why people attacked your house? Because you are a Mafiosi Parlamentarian

    Gert Jan, the Netherlands Tuesday, 17 May 2022 08:42 PM

    Honest MP's don't need that much security. In my country even the president travels on a bicycle to parliament. You brought this violence upon yourself, the suffering people don't care less about your little inconvenience. Politicians here in the Netherlands are not allowed to have supplement payments or commissions. Just never forget you are serving the people, not the other way around.

    It is evident that the country was brought to bankruptcy and you also continue to lie on daily basis what do you expect the public reaction to be will be worse in the future

    JVP organised it . It is not people who attacked, they are all JVP thugs.

    Well, Kanchan's house was attacked several times before. JVP is capable of organising this and law enforcement agencies were helpless to curb them, that tells you who is in power. Not the government.

    Their homes were attacked because of their big gabs in parliament. They were trying to live one foot above ground and they received what they deserved.

    Don't worry Minister Kanchana Wijesekara baba. Come next elections and we will ensure that to be the end of your political career.
