Minister Lakshman Kiriella today accused the government of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa of threatening the Mahanayake of the Malwatte Chapter of Siyam Nikaya for trying to organize a blessing ceremony for Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, who was the Presidential candidate at that time.


The observation was made while speaking at a press conference held in Colombo this afternoon (02).


Minister Kiriella charged the former government of ambushing late Ven. Maduluwawe Sobitha Thero through a “pre-organized” road accident who was on his way to the blessing ceremony as well.
