The government has given coconuts to the people of the plantation area to throw coconuts against the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, says MP Palani Digambaram. He expressed these views while addressing the media in the Hatton area.
He also said that those who are protesting against the increase in the salaries of the workers in the plantation area have been instructed to throw coconuts in this way.
However, he said that there would be no problem if the estate workers’ salaries were increased in January, and if not, the coconut pelting against the government would begin.
Samagi Jana Balawegaya MP Rohini Kaviratne had filed a complaint with the Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption regarding the government’s proposal to pay Rs. 200 of the proposed salary increase for the people of the plantation sector.
