A coconut dashing ritual was held at Nawagamuwa Paththini Devalaya premises today, against the ‘Yahapalana’ government.

The event was organized by a group of SLFP Women’s Organization members including Ashoka Lankathilaka, former SLFP MP of Kolonnawa.

They said that government does not pay allowances which were paid during Rajapaksa’s era. They also claimed that government ‘hunts’ Buddhist monks, war heroes, and pressure journalists.  

Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his wife Shiranthi Rajapaksa attended to the event.
