evidence: Those taking part in Firday’s meeting at Temple Trees chaired by Wickrmesinghe were Kabir Hashim, Malik Samarawickrema, Gamini Jayawickrema Perera, Daya Gamage, John Ameratunga, Lakshman Kiriella, Ranjith Madduma Bandara, Ravi Karunanayake, Ajith Perera, Akila Viraj Kariyawasam and Fielf Marshal Sarath Fonseka. [...] Joining in to back Kiriella were Ministers Daya Gamage and Gaminia Jayawickrema Perera. Gamage said that Kiriella should be given two portfolios and not one. Perera added that Kiriella worked both as Minister and Leader of the House – a position for which Wickremesinghe remarked that Kiriella should be given his rightful place for his hard work. Kiriella was talking of "bella kapena weda" when Hashim rose from his seat and ostensibly walked out of the meeting. Kiriella did not stop his tirade but went on to say that it is hirikithai or disgusting as it came from people who spoke of party unity. He called for Hashim’s resignation. Commenting on crowds that gathered at meetings supporting Premadasa in Badulla, Matara and Kurunegala, Minister Daya Gamage remarked "Apith rasveem thiyala pennan nam" we will also hold meetings to display our crowds.
