Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna MP Sanjula Piyadigama, who represents Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha, has received death threats.
She says that the threat was made by a person she has known politically for a long time while she was staying at her house in Mirissa.
She says that the person stopped the cab he had come from near her house and threatened her. She also presents CCTV footage showing the vehicle approaching the house.
‘At around 6:30 pm, I was in front of my house when a white cab stopped in front of our house. After stopping and honking the horn, I went to the wall.
Then he lowered the window and said, “Madam.” At that time, I looked up to see who it was. At that time, Mr. Dahanayake, who is a member of the Mulatiyana National People’s Force, was on the driving seat.
Then he asked me why the 24th Sabha was being formed now. I said yes, why is there a problem? Then he said that if you suddenly come to the 24th Sabha, they will kill you and hide you. He told you to stay home without making it a problem for your job,” she says.
