Mayor of Hambantota Eraj Fernando, who was arrested today. Absolutely disgusting the way these thugs behave and worst more they hold high office.
Ranjith,
Who is to blame?
The voters of Sri Lanka repeatedly elect these guys to office.
Mr Roxie de Abrew . These bully boys put fear on to the voters by intimidation so the general public vote for these thugs. We know what happened to big bully boys like Sadam Hussaen and Gadafi. One end up in a pit and the other end up in a sewage pipe.
