The 'Joint Opposition' is carrying out a coconut dashing ritual for the second day today, at Ammaduwa Kuda Kataragama Devalaya in Ratnapura District.

A number of 'Joint Opposition' MPs who back former President Mahinda Rajapaksa are expected to take part in the ritual.

A public rally will also be held at Godakewela this afternoon.

The 'Joint Opposition' recently held the first coconut dashing ritual at Seenigama Devalaya.
