Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa, last evening, has lodged a complaint with the Tangalle police saying that he received phone calls threatening him with death.
In his complaint to the police, the MP has stated that he received calls from a mobile number on four occasions, last Tuesday night, threatening him to resign from politics.
Police Spokesperson SSP Ajith Rohana said that an investigation will be launched to locate the suspects.
Slamming the allegations raised against him, Rajapaksa in his blog said “As you may have already heard, certain individuals are coming after me with a vengeance, trying to implicate me in a number of alleged wrongdoings. We expected this. Those who are older than I am will remember well that this is the usual fate that members of the SLFP must suffer whenever we lose elections. It has happened in the past, and the same is happening this time also.
We welcome the new government’s initiatives of “good governance,” but we make a strong appeal not to allow certain individuals misuse this initiative to fulfill personal vendettas under the guise of “good governance.”
Western Provincial Councilor Udaya Gammanpila while addressing a press conference held in Colombo , yesterday, said that he also received death threatening messages.
