Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) leader and MP Udaya Gammanpila today thanked the police for arresting Tamil National People’s Front (TNPF) leader and MP Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam.

Addressing the media, he said certain parliamentarians from both the north and the south are under the impression that they are above the law. 

"Therefore, we express our pleasure in the police having the backbone to remind the MPs of their real position.

"This is not the first time that MP Gajendrakumar had obstructed the duties of the police and the army," MP Gammanpila claimed.

The MP was arrested at his Colombo residence by officers from the Maruthankerni and Jayapuram police stations.

A heated argument had erupted between MP Ponnambalam and officers in civvies, including an intelligence officer, when the MP had arrived at a public meeting held at Vadamarachchi East recently. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

    Communalists raising their heads again, trying to save the non existing 'Sinhala Buddhist' land. Jerome, Natasha, Bruno, Ponnambalam. An election must be pretty close.

    No action taken against Gammanpila,Wimal, Channa and Rathana for spreading false facts against Dr Shafi. Why law is different for various sectors. Seems like RW nothing much different to MR.

    Gammanpila rejoices on this arrest. May be he wants other politicians to taste the Prison cells that he tasted but unfortunately he was given bail.

    Syarem of belief drafted and sent couple of millenniums plus some cecenturies before though cannot exactly be historically confirmed, based on the origin of people who were banished, has come to cease the country. Any democratic process cannot solve and rectify the system unless all south to north failed rotten lot vanish.

    terrible statement by Gammanpila, as is usual.

    Gamini Thursday, 08 June 2023 09:04 AM

    then why Gamanpilla is not arrested for misuse of POA of a foreigner

    Jude Thursday, 08 June 2023 09:29 AM

    Hey Gamma, no one pointing out facts about you, not even any media. Gama you formed a party with the name Pivithuru Hela Urumaya and for starters you're also Australian citizen, you can't go back to Aussie Land because you have to face the music yeah because you're alleged fraudster. Then your wife and children living in Australia and they all Australian citizens, then your father in-law and mother in-law American citizens and living in Yankeeland. TELL ME EXACTLY WHICH PART IS පිවිතුරු !??? And not forgetting about the parts හෙළ උරුමය !?? Like to hear from you!!

    Gammanpila is a very honest politician. He gave his life for betterment of Sri Lanka. I do agree he is racist. But we need him.
