Let's hope that before the voters of Gampaha, the voters at the forthcoming PC elections would remember.

This is TOO Much BLOOD, Enough is Enough.

Dayasiri must be happy with his leader and his actions, the danger of destroying the organize opposition is getting clearer now.

raspi Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:59 AM

pissuda men, there is nothing more important than a politicos/goons/politic patiyas life in SL.

Dushar Dayarathna Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:49 AM

Top people of the government act like animals. They should have prevented this at the very beginning. I do not know who advise the goverment. Dear president, this type of incident will bring more troubles to you and the government. After losing power, you will also realize the truth. Just look at all the people around you. Most of them were around the former president too. Just think of ordinary people who voted for you. If you address their grievances, one day (even after losing the power), they will remember you with a big respect.

A life and an election. which of more value?

unchikun Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:38 AM

The man who directed this inhuman assault is clearly seen on video. He and his superiors has to be brought to justice. It my be today tomorrow or years from now.

lk Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:34 AM

Believe me, voters wont remember this on the election day.

crick Sunday, 04 August 2013 03:21 AM

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WATER MIXED WITH BEER.

ANTON Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:13 AM

YES., WE CAN DRINK BEER.

mukesh Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:06 AM

If you came to North, you will tell I don't want even live.

Calistus Jayatilleke Sunday, 04 August 2013 05:04 AM

"Kawda Mewata Waga Kiyanne". Murderous deeds of the so called patriots. Definitely blood on the hands of the Rajapakse regime. People of Gampaha should take note of these brutal acts when it comes to voting next time.

CitizenLK Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:40 AM

When the army won the war against terrorist, we have enough people who owned it. But when the army fires live ammunition on people who (at most) pelted stones, we have no accountability. At most they could have aimed at legs. So it is not impossible for someone to now say that what happened in the north was NOT a zero casualty war as some blabbered then. Also it speaks volumes of the army's intentions when they try to remove evidence by way of removing journalists and firing at light bulbs. Was it the Imperialists, Americans, indians or Aliens that were the "Organised Force" that attacked the Army ? We speak of our army as a disciplined force. however, I think now most of us may see evidences, which at least show that a minisclue part of the army who took part may not keep upto this standard.

VoiceOfLanka Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:27 AM

All manners of murder and other crimes are talked about and forgotten the next day. People have become immune to these whilst music and dancing goes on unabated. Where/when will this madness end?

Publik Abilik Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:25 AM

The most important question is, Where are the people who's ready to immolate themselves to save cattle, yet silent about the waste of human lives? Why is BBS, Sihala Raavaya, Hela Urumaya also silent? Let's write a few more Ranaviru Upahaara gee.

True Savior of Lanka Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:22 AM

Cheap trick to divert attention away from the all important PC elections.

ANTON Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:16 AM

DAKKADA APE ARMY EKE WAD KIDA ???

Veera Wimal Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:13 AM

Yet another International conspiracy to tarnish the good name of the regime.

bab Sunday, 04 August 2013 04:12 AM

blood on the rajapakses.
the voters will hopefully remember this on the day
getting the army to do the dirty work erased all the good they did in the past.please don't forget.
people should turn their backs on police army in protest

lalitha Sunday, 04 August 2013 03:56 AM

Jayalath Sunday, 04 August 2013 03:44 AM
