While opposition stages boycott against President’s budget speech ‘mapilla snake’ caught in opposition leader’s parliament room
(Lanka-e-News-21.Nov.2013,11.30PM) Today when the opposition was boycotting the budget speech of the President in Parliament , a ‘le mapilla snake' had been detected in the official room in Parliament of opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe. Grave doubts are being entertained that this is a conspiracy to seriously harm the opposition leader.
The opposition leader had informed the employees this noon that the internet facility in his computer is not functioning . A woman employee who tried to put it right was unsuccessful . As a result the assistance of the Parliament computer division had been sought. A youth from the Parliament IT division when he was trying to rectify the fault , had attempted to clear the waste paper bin that was near the chair of the opposition leader. The le mapilla had been remaining covered by the bin. This snake that was about one and half feet long had been very energetic . The employees of the opposition leader who arrived , had killed the snake and put in a bottle. The opposition leader had to be in another nearby room until the internet was put in order.
After the incident , the Parliament secretary , speaker and the sergeant at arms had appeared on the scene . This snake could not have crept in on its own and it is clear that someone had brought it and put in the room of the opposition leader , witnesses say. The supporting reasons are :
The office of the opposition leader is in the third floor of the Parliament. Hence there is no mapilla in the world that would climb three stairs in search of the opposition leader’s room. What is most noteworthy is : today being the day of the President’s budget speech , and as he was arriving in Parliament , every security measure was taken by the President’s security division (PSD). Even a vehicle of M .P s were not allowed to be parked in the parliament garage . This morning firstly police dogs were used by the STF and every part of the building inspected. Again the PSD dogs were employed for another search inch by inch..
It is to be noted that the opposition leader’s room too was included in this search . The dogs that were used to search even the flower vases could not detect the mapilla in the opposition leader’s room is most strange. Even a stray dog barks unendingly at a small serpent. Therefore how come a trained police dog could not sniff the presence of a mapilla . They should have in fact barked much more with the training they have been given.
Moreover , a week ago the opposition leader’s table and furniture were polished.
Even the opposition leader found it difficult to be in the room due to the polish smell which is so intense. In other words a mapilla could not have been in the room for weeks enduring that smell. In addition , when the mapilla was detected it never showed signs that it had been starving for it was so energetic , and immediately reacted.
It is significant to note that this is the first time the opposition staged a boycott against President’s budget speech after he became the President, and it was the opposition leader who spearheaded this.
Recently the opposition leader’s vehicle was targeted for attack. His vehicle shutters were broken , and attempts were made to harm him. That was launched by Rajapakse cronies and directly on President’s instructions . The attackers were security soldiers in civil attire.
In the circumstances , this mapilla scenario is no laughing matter or just an ordinary threat akin to a serpent creeping into a house. Someone had certainly brought in that serpent with most deadly motives. In that case who had done this? Surely it must have been by a serpent in human clothing or a group of them.
