Police/CID please arrest these two toxic scummies ASAP as we want to rid our body of cancer ASAP.
Are these two criminals you find in this country who violate the law and order as well as bribes and so on ?
There is something quite interesting about people so far against whom the court has issued summoning or warrants to apprehend. But the sample size is still not big enough to make any conclusion. That is the (sur)names of these agitators. So far, there is a disproportionate number of ethnic minority agitators when compared with ethnic composition of established political parties. Also, these guys are very fluent and have a very good command of Sinhala language unlike the ethnic minority politicians currently in the main political stream. Obviously their behaviour clearly suggest that they have undergone briefing on their rights, challenging police etc. I hope the police and the intelligence agencies are taking some interest in checking whether these people have gone abroad in the last few years and arrived before trying to establish their brand of government in SL.
