Bullets, pen caps and flawed logic

UNP parliamentarian Ajith Mannapperuma got into hot water when he, in a bid to drive his point home during Wednesday’s adjournment debate on the Weliweriya killings, produced an object, claiming that it was a bullet used in crushing the Aug. 01 protest. He insisted that it had been found embedded in a wayside wall. However, when the government MPs raised hell calling for disciplinary action against him for bringing a bullet into the House, Deputy Speaker Chandima Weerakkody said MP Mannapperuma had claimed what he had just shown was not a bullet but a gold coloured pen cap.
