Kandy, July 16 (Daily Mirror)- In the wake of a statement by State Minister Lohan Ratwatte, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today that he would like to see State Minister Lohan Ratwatte living at the time of the NPP's victory.

He told an NPP rally in Kandy that everyone is not equal before the law in Sri Lanka as stated in law and said if that was the case, Lohan Ratwatte cannot be at large.

"Lohan said recently in Kandy that he will not allow us to win as long as he is alive. I am happy to see him alive to witness our victory. We must prove that everyone is equal before the law. Lohan is the best example for that," he said.

Dissanayake said everyone is not equal before the law in Sri Lanka and added that is why someone who had entered the Anuradhapura prison with a pistol at midnight while drunk and had frightened the prisoners could still be free.

Security Apparatus Must Protect Anura Tuesday, 16 July 2024 08:27 PM

If anything happens to Anura from now on, can imagine the outcome from the citizens who are counting on him to take over from Ranil. We all witness the anger from Trump’s supporters after he got wounded by a gun shot. Imagine the outcome if he died! Suggest the CID and STF do the needful by sharing intelligence and protect Anura until the elections are over.

Such statements would definitely add and increase sympathy votes to the NPP leader and he should be thankful to the SLPP as a whole.

This is a fight between good politics and bad politics. Let us give people their choice . let people have a say.. if it all about good public service. People who are good and who are bad. people know who put this country under this economic crisis. This type of statement by any politicians can damage Ranil and his name as wells/ the more he opens his mouth the more damage has been done.

This guy and his brother sometimes ago were responsible for the murders of SLMC supporters. It seems he is encouraging another Aragalaya, an Armed Aragalaya.

My dear AKD, do you remember the murder of Mr. Joel Pera at a Casino in Colombo on May 1, 1997? Do you know the murder of 10 members of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress at Udathalawinna at 5.30 pm on December 5, 2001? You would have known the attempted murder of LTTE prisoners at Anuradhapura Prison and the firings of pistol at various hotels? Then think twice!

@A Fan of Loha - Those who live by the gun die by the gun, someone must be awaiting for an opportunity like what happened to Wasantha and Lasantha.

People on the wrong side of the law declaring their support for RW will only reduce his chances of winning the presidency. The statement by LR may be beneficial for AKD.

This moron should have been thrown into prison with the prisoners to see how he will like it.

Anura luck is on your way like Donald Trump who has catapulted to increase his sympathy voter base due to having a scape goat like Lohan who maybe suffering from a mental disorder to utter his thoughts at the threshold of an election!!!!!!

Well said Anura. We would like to see Lohan‘s Curriculum Vitae

AKD; Your life is more important for the majority of this country. This guy has killed many people and got away with murder because his cousin was the President at the time. Regarding attempted killing of prisoners, the current president did not take any action except giving him another portfolio. Do not try to show that you are a brave man. Take all the precautions.
