Speaking at the event Minister Sajith Premadasa;

“The Kotakethana murder, there was not one but a series of murders in Kotakethana. First, a woman and a girl were murdered. Later a large number of women were murdered. Who do you think was in charge of security during that time? who turned a blind eye when a large number of women were being murdered? Who committed the crime, it was a councilor of the flower bud party. Maybe that’s why when women were murdered in cold blood they turned a blind eye. A chairman from their side raped 100 women and celebrated it. Who do you think was responsible for national security during that time? When the chairman from Tangalle raped a foreign woman, who do you think tried to save him ?. I would like to request the people from Kegalle to ask yourself, on the 16th which president will bring justice to the girl who was recently unfortunately raped? there is no doubt if anyone else gets this chance, the suspect will be freed of allegations and released.”
