"We are not against hosting people at private houses but it is unethical to use State property for such functions," he said.Jayasuriya said other forms of election law violations by the government included the abuse of the State media, government vehicles and helicopters.A picture of President Rajapaksa surrounded by police officials with a headline implying that they would work for his victory at the next Presidential election had been carried in a State-controlled newspaper yesterday, Jayasuriya said alleging that election offices of Ravi Karunanayake and the JVP had been attacked and a grenade thrown at the Batticaloa UNF office, when he visited the place recently.Opposition politicians had to obtain special permission from the Defence Ministry, if they were to travel beyond Medawachchiya, Jayasuriya added.<a href="http://www.island.lk/2009/12/17/news3.html" target="_blank">http://www.island.lk/2009/12/17/news3.html</a>just imagine 1 cutout = 100 RS..<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /></blockquote>
