Message: <blockquote data-quote="lkdood" data-source="post: 11096867" data-attributes="member: 92282">UNP Kurunegala District MP Dayasiri Jayasekara speaking to the Daily  Mirror online today said that the authorities should have investigated  the allegations he made in Parliament on Thursday instead of ordering  him out of the house. "During my speech I specifically brought up the  thuggery and intimidation that was taking place in Mulleriyawa. I showed  them photographs of shootings that happened during the run up to the  elections but they ignored all of this and we have lost a political  leader today," he said. Jayasekara was removed from the house on  Thursday by parliamentarian A.H.M. Azwer who was at the chair for making  inflammatory remarks. He further went on to add that, "The crux of my speech was that there is  no rule of law in this country. Thugs who are close to politicians have  with them illegal weapons and this incident was due to the use of these  weapons. There are gangs that operate with the ruling party politicians  and todays incident showed the danger that these weapons that are used  by politicians could bring," he said. Jayasekara went on to note that the weapons that were used during the  shooting were not legal weapons that were given to the policeman who  were with the parliamentarians. "A policeman on duty would never open  fire when there is an argument. The reason behind the shooting clearly  must have been drunken-ness and thugs who were armed," he said. He also  stated that, "Both Duminda Silva and Bharatha Lakshman are leaders of  the people and its sad that they have to go through this predicament, at  the end of the day it’s their families who will suffer the most. What  we are calling for is the proper implementation of the rule of law. If  that happens there is no way an incident of this sort will take place,"  he said. On Thursday October 6, 2011, when Jayasekara was speaking in Parliament  about the thuggery in Mulleriyawa, his speech was expunged and he was  sent out of the chamber.</blockquote>
