UPFA parliamentarian and President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s confidential financial coordinators, Sajin Vass Gunawardena says he would assault any opposition member who tries to visit the families of the fishermen who were killed due to adverse weather conditions on Saturday.
Over 50 fishermen were killed on Saturday due to the government’s failure to inform them of the stormy weather conditions around the island.
Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, UNP MP Wijedasa Rajapakshe and several other UNP local government representatives were attacked by Sajin’s supporters in Balapitiya yesterday.
Following the attack, Sajin arrived at the scene and spoke to his supporters and told the media that he would not allow any opposition member to visit the families of the dead fishermen in Balapitiya.
He charged that he would “assault and chase them away” (Mama gahal thamay pannanne).
Sajin noted that he would not allow the opposition to gain political mileage by visiting the families of the dead fishermen in Balapitiya.
