Southern Provincial Council member M.K. Kasun and his wife were arrested by the Thalangama Police after the duo assaulted a bus driver.
Kasun is the son of notorious thug ‘Chandi Malli’ of Beliatte and a supporter of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).
The incident was captured on camera by a person in a bus at the Talangama-Koswatte junction. The video shows Kasun attacking the bus driver along with his wife who is seen brandishing a pistol.
It is reported that the victim was driving a Route 177 bus that plies between Kaduwela and Kollupitiya. He had been stopped at the Talangama-Koswatte junction and assaulted.
The reason for the assault has not yet been ascertained.

RE: Pohottu Supporter Southern PC Member And Wife Arrested Over Assault Of Bus Driver While Brandishing A Pistol
Who is the Pohottu Leader?
MaRa MaRa ChaTu MaRa MaNa MaRa DhushaNa MaRa
Where is he? Through the Bulath Vines, Vettila Vine,
Meeting the Sevalaya, Perethanaya, the Hopper Perethaya.
Why Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka was not appointed Law and Order Minister by a President who only has 4% of the support?
The super luxury car – Bentley Mulsanne Hallmark bought for Rs. 1.6 million by Sri Lanka’s multimillionaire businessman Dhammika Perera entered the gates of a Paget Road residence , one night last week . Guess who came out to enter the car with two security personnel ? It was none other than Maithripala Sirisena , the president whose popularity has by now dropped to a most despicable 4 % , but still holds the post of ‘honorable’ president of Sri Lanka . What happened thereafter is even more shocking ! This car with Sirisena went straight and stopped at a house in Flower Road ,Kollupitiya belonging to Dhammika. The other individual in the Kollupitiya house anticipating Sirisena was another faceless , ruthless Machiavellian – ex president Mahinda Rajapakse.
The secret discussion that took place between the ex president and Sirisena is no secret now to the country. Based on information seeping out , following the recent local government polls , the rift between Gotabaya and Basil has deepened .Sirisena however has used this rift to help Gota realize his dream . Hence, in that context the Sirisena – Mahinda discussion was most decisive.

Haiiiyoooo.. can your thick brain digest the fact that the 4 mn votes he got in 2014 were desperate UNP votes who were voting for him as their candidate since Pona Ranil was petrified to run against MR???. And when SF contested alone it plunged to 5000 votes???
There lies the number of people who really like him.. I bet even your vote was not in that 5k tally!!!?

Dear Words,
–
Never mind “getting a life”; why can’t you stop repeating yourself? Why not provide me with a response to that I said here:
–
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/fonseka-snubbed-madduma-bandara-appointed-minister-of-law-and-order/comment-page-1/#comments
–
What I said was: “I don’t know when Sarath Fonseka got only 5,000 votes, but I’m sure it was when he contested on his own. Subsequently, he bore up heroically under all that imprisonment and humiliation.
–
Yours was a cheap jibe, by a man who aptly calls himself not DEEDS, but WORDS.
–
I NOW greatly respect Sarath Fonseka.”
–
Most voters cast their ballot strategically at an election. With Fonseka contesting with all odds stacked AGAINST him, he polled only 5,000 votes.
–
I have already explained to you why mine was NOT one of the 4,173,185, votes that Fonseka got in 2010 – because I didn’t then see him as a credible PRESIDENT, although a much better man than MaRa – who didn’t get any vote from me, either.
–
Why not respond to my comments on THAT article, cowardly “Words”?
–
Fonseka is about the only man I can think of who can courageously tackle many of the problems relating to IMPLEMENTATION of Law and Order.
–
Yes, I hope other readers also go there and look at how “Words” runs away with tail between his legs when challenged.

Sinhala Man,
May be the Bentley number was in dollars not rupees.
Anyway, listen to what Most Ven.. Dr. Dambara Amila Thera the good governance Sangha ‘King’ who made a huge contribution towards making Maithripala Sirisena the president , at a recent press briefing tore Sirisena (whose pet name now is Sillysena) into shreds. If Sirisena alias Sillysena the hopper gobbling serpent has any sense of shame he would at least now try to wear a decent attire and become a human without standing naked with the naked serpents , his blood relatives that gobble eggs.
Amarasiri calls Sillysena Sevalaya and Petethaya

Alas! This country removed the last semblances of whipping or judicial canning from its statute books at the dawn of this millennium to be so called in line with “International Norms”. But in Singapore, the penalty for this type of behavior is judicial canning. Six of the best cuts to the bear bottom. This type of action threatening with death for non-compliance is serious and not necessarily the part of “Pohottu” crowd alone. How many of this type of thuggery do take place in the country and only once in a blue-moon an incident or type would get the attention of the media (Electronic and web). Police must take serious note of this an stamp out this kind of behavior out of this country for ever.

Sri Lanka has come a long way in Women’s Sinhala Bauda rights. Now women are packing heat too. Should increase by statute the women representation to 50%, we sure can find enough uneducated thugs of the opposite sex to send to parliament.
They can give a different kind of “Dahna” to the monks too. Which would be appreciated and they will hit the streets at the drop of a slipper or ?.

Mallaiyuran / March 10, 2018
We did not expect justice being served to Tamils by appointing Ponny as law and order minister. His revenge against Tamils was well known. We, Tamils did not support him on the 2010 presidential election, though TNA did.
Still there is a point when we supported his being selected to Law and Order minister position. It is not because he would revenge others too, the way he did to Tamils. Sinhalese and Muslims celebrated with Kiribath and Firecrackers Ponny’s annihilation of the freedom fight in the most barbaric way the world ever saw. 32 countries worldwide offered help and actively supported the violence on Tamils. But until now, not from within the country, nor even by UN, any measures were taken to find out the reason why Tamils protested against the government and provide a solution for that problem. Until 2009, no International Media was willing to bring out a single house of Tamils being bombed by the most modern war machine like Kefir or MiG. But after seeing the carnage, which was mostly cleaned bulldozed, UN SG Ban-Ki-Moon expressed surprise of never having seen devastation of that magnitude. UN engaged UNHRC to look into what happened in Lankawe. UN investigated it within two years for why did it miss all what happened in Lankawe. Lankawe, to whitewash war crime committed, engaged a commission called LLRC and was ready to crap the report. But because of that time American State Secretary Hillary Clinton pressure, Justice Minister Hakeem went with National Action Plan & met Hillary Clinton. When Hakeem’s cheating was exposed, UNHRC continued and Resolution 30/1 was adopted.

Mallaiyuran / March 10, 2018
It requested Lankawe to Investigate the Genocide with the participation Foreign and Commonwealth Lawyers and Judges. Government signed in agreement because to work and set aside the loan pressure it was having from China. When it settled the loan with China, it denied the signed agreement and insisted for internal investigation. Fearing LG election it negotiated with UNHRC for a Secret Solution, instead an investigation. Once the election was over it abandoned the Secret Solution. Finally there was promise of investigating local corruption at the 2015 Elections. Though it has nothing to do with Tamils, we wanted to see if at least government will honor that promise by appointing Ponny as the Law and Order Minister. Now government worked with the unofficial opposition, brought the riots and pulling out of that promise too. The simple fact here is The Majoritarian government cannot provide justice. The Most affected by this strange phenomenon of the majority race is the Tamils who are on the bottom of authority of pyramid; less or not affected at all is the elite ruling class of Sinhala Buddhists. This renders that Tamils cannot live with Sinhala Buddhists under the same set of rules, because those only can provide justice to Sinhala Buddhist and those rules are not able to bring any justice to Tamils.

Southern Provincial Council member M.K. Kasun is on his way up the Lankan political ladder. Kasun is the son of notorious thug ‘Chandi Malli’ of Beliatte and a supporter of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).
Kasun and his pistol wielding wife assaulted a bus driver. This was the initiation ceremony – at the expense of the bus driver. Would have been more eye catching had the driver been Muslim. He is up for auction. Kasun has this ‘Team Player’ T-shirt. He can play in the Eraj Fernando team.
.
Who is Eraj Fernando? Remember in 2014, brandishing a cocked pistol, former Mayor of Hambantota Eraj Ravindra Fernando led a gang of thugs to attack and chase several UNP Parliamentarians. What happened? In August 2016, despite this thuggery behavior, President Sirisena has gone ahead and appointed Eraj, as the electoral organiser of the SLFP for Beliatta.
