The Rajapaksas’ incitement at Temple Trees to provoke violence instead of a peaceful stepping down has resulted in the whole country being resorted to violence and a great destruction, said Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa, speaking in Parliament today (18).
It was the barbarism planned in Temple Trees that led to the burning down of a protest that had been held for thirty peaceful days, the Opposition Leader reminded, condemning the violent aftermath of the incitement and alleging that all Rajapaksa brothers should be held accountable for this devastation.
He also stressed that all responsible for the violent aftermath should be arrested and penalised via a fair and reasonable probe, adding that such an unfortunate event would have never occurred in the first place, had the regime stepped down in peace.
