UNP Western Province Councillor Duminda Silva and his friends have been accused of attacking foreign guests, including US embassy staff, and smashing up property on Friday night at one of Colombo`s trendy night clubs, 'Clansys'.
The incident followed an argument between the politician and the night club staff.
Cinnamon Gardens police confirmed that they had received a complaint against the provincial councillor and were carrying out investigations.
The Sunday Times learns that the politician is alleged to have broken glasses of the club and assaulted the guests, including a lady attached to the US embassy in Colombo.
Mr. Duminda Silva is presently on bail over a rape case. The club was back in operation yesterday around 11 p.m. after police guards stationed there after the incident withdrew.
This was the second attack on the club by a politician in recent times. Earlier Deputy Labour Minister Mervyn Silva and his supporters were accused of attacking and causing damage to the club.

Victims:
Target the wallets of these thugs... to get millions through lawsuits. Never accept apologies or private settlements... in the interest of other peaceful folks.
That will be an excellent deterrent. |

If Ranil Kicks out such thugs, there won't be any UNPers left. OK may be Karu / Vi Ja Mu and a few more will be left.
Same goes to most of other parties, as well. |

I know this guy and it's shame to say that this idiot from my college-president's college rajagiriya, which produced outstanding students.
just b'cos of his brother (reynor silva) being the director of the, 'ABS broadcasting service-hiru FM etc', which he received the free publicity and spending some money to feed idiotic, illiterate UNP thugs including ranil, became the provincial councillor in the western provice.
the questions we need to look into is......
why no action from the UNP?
why the judge bailed him out on a pending rape case-shows how crappy our legal system is
why do people cast their invaluable vote on idiots like this?
why police? police chief is silent on these issues 'specially when these idiotic politicians get possessed with demons in front of people'?
why do these people get body guards? we all should raise this question....... as to protect a 'severely mentally retarded/ill' person why our government spend so much public money? |

Duminda Silva is the guy who raped a 15 year old girl and bailed recently.
Apparently, that girl's older sister was his girlfriend, and this dog couldn't resist having both, and ended up by raping her.
The club has a problem with Silvas...I think the club security has to be selective before getting the Silva's into the club.... |

Sachine04,
This is not Mervyn's son. But Mervyn's son is also a real loose case as well. Apple fell right at the foot of the tree. |

I've known Duminda since he was a kid and for all the critics he not what you'll think or what the press has lable him as...
Duminda is a very down to eart person who worked very hard to get to what he is today. He is been framed and draged to this sort of incedence becouse of his polularity to tanish his good name.
Duminda won the election with a clean sweep and is a threath to other polititions.
All what i have to say to Duminda is not get discurrage, work hard to become the president of our mother land.
F off all the stupid guys who has writen crap...

How can a rapist be a provincial council member? Shouldn't any member found guilty of a crime autoamatically lose the membership in a local or central government? It used to be like that! When did that change?
I think there are many such in all political parties inSri Lanka, including the Tamil and Muslim. That's why it is now difficult to govern, what ever party comes in to power. Thuggery, murder, corruption and malpractices are the norm in the governing bodies. We probalbly are now worse than Bagladesh and India in this sense!
To get the country out of the rot, we need to solve the problem of the LTTE by either getting them to democratize and beat them militarrily if they do not, devolve power in a India style union with no rights to secede which can be guaranteed getting the agreement of Inida to defend any attempt to secede, and then finally get rid of all such uneanted characters from the governing bodies for which we need a strong leader the type of Mahatir or Lee Kwan. Is Mahinda the person is to be seen! |

No wonder that Sri Lanka was almost branded as a failed state and lying within the 25 lowest countries in the world while imbeciles like this are elected by people to polical office. Send him back to a good school or ask him to pay a supervised trip for three months in the West to learn how to drink and enjoy life without becoming an arsehole.
