They said Police protection has also been provided to the Jathika Sevaka Sangamaya Head Office attached to Sirikotha.
Previously, special Police protection was only provided to Sirikotha when UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe was present on the premises.
Meanwhile, none of the prominent leaders of the UNP had visited Sirikotha till evening yesterday and most of its working staff had also not reported for duty, a security officer at Sirikotha said.

‘SRIKOTHA’ means holy cross! Therefore, this is a holy building with national interest (not an archaeological site as Buwaneka Bar/Hotel in K’gala though) and should be protected at any cost!
Sajith, do please take over this heritage building as undoubtedly your party’s winning was 100% made up of former UNP supporters and given the laughably pathetic performance of Ponil (aka Ranil) and his UNP, he and his equally pathetic, unpatriotic, bungling cronies must be sent home for good and you must be allowed to build a strong opposition in the interest of democracy!
