Namal Senasinghe<\/span><\/a>, the elder brother of Deputy Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe<\/span><\/a> has claimed that President Maithripala Sirisena has slept on his bed.<\/p>\n

Senasinghe, who shot to limelight today after he abused<\/span><\/a> a diner, Shaminda Herat<\/span><\/a> at a star class restaurant over the weekend said in response to the video uploaded by Herat, \u201cWhat this idiot did not know was Maithripala Sirisena used my Kandy house for his campaign. He slept on my bed.\u201d According to Senasinghe, Herat had been bragging about Sirisena.<\/p>\n

Namal Senasinghe, a doctor by profession also went on to further criticize the minorities in the country by trying to justify his comments where he told Herat that he (Senasinghe) was a Sinhala Buddhist and Sri Lanka was a Sinhala Buddhist nation, in spite of Senasinghe himself living in England for some 20 years. It is believed Senasinghe had assumed Herat was a Muslim as he was sporting a beard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people who are criticizing this are from a certain community, and they cannot swallow the fact that this is a Sinhala Buddhist country. Wake up. These guys cannot enter the west now. So swallow the pride and live in harmony in Sri Lanka,” Senasinghe said in response to the video after members of the public including Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamils took to social media to protest against Senasinghe\u2019s racist utterance. In particular Muslims took on Senasinghe, which resulted in him continuing to carry out his tirade against the community.<\/p>\n

However, just hours after making various comments on Herat\u2019s post, including where he even went on to claim that Herat was a criminal, Senasinghe appeared to have deleted his comments.<\/p>\n

Colombo Telegraph is in possession of print screens of Senasinghe\u2019s comments. Senasinghe\u2019s Facebook profile was deactivated and his response which was initially available on his official website<\/span><\/a> was also deleted.\"Namal\"<\/a>\"Namal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t
