30 Jul 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

At a UPFA propaganda meeting held at the Moneragala Pradeshiya Sabha grounds yesterday, in support of Mahinda Rajapaksa, the former president and present UPFA candidate contesting Kurunegala District, the crowd hooted Deputy Minister Jagath Pushpakumara as soon as he began his speech.

Those who hooted him were at the front of the crowd. Pushpakumara who had been warned earlier that there was an organised gang waiting to hoot him had said it would not deter him. Vijith Vijayamuni Zoysa who spoke soon afterwards was also hooted by the crowd. In response to the hooting, Zoysa recited a verse from Somaweera Chandrasiri, a poet of the Colombo era.
