Former
Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has accused the anti-government public
protests at the Galle Face Green, of murder.
Mahinda Rajapaksa made the accusation
in Parliament today during the vote of condolence on the murder of former MP
Amarakeerthi Athukorala. He said that even religious leaders in the
anti-government protests at the site were unable to prevent the violence that
occurred on 09 May.
The
former Prime Minister said the anti-government public protests cannot be
considered peaceful and that those involved in the protests have blood on their
hands.The late Amarakeerthi Athukorala had not done any wrong towards
the public protests.
Former
Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa is a very clever man to cover up things in
white. Peaceful anti-government protest sites at temple trees and Gall Face Green
were attacked by Mahinda Rajapaksa’s SLPP loyalists. Even evidence was found that
the Senior DIG Deshabandu Thennakoon supported the attack.
Then the
unrest broke out, late Amarakeerthi Athukorala had opened fire at the public
who had obstructed his vehicle in Nittambuwa, injuring people. Athukorala’s
gunfire killed one unarmed man and then He had later fled the area and had
sought refuge inside a building after being surrounded by the public. His death
was initially reported as a suicide, but the death of the MP was later confirmed
as murder.
That’s the
truth behind Former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s false statement. He is
directly responsible for the 9th May unrest, which was started from his office
by his supporters. His actions took not only the life of MP Amarakeerthi
Athukorala but also several civilians.
