<p>Tempers flared during an argument between Kandy District SLPP MPs Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Gunathilake Rajapaksa over providing relief to the people affected by the inclement weather, at yesterday's government group meeting chaired by President Ranil Wickremesinghe. Subsequently MP Rajapaksa was admitted to the Army Hospital with injuries. He had suffered leg injury and was to undergo a surgical operation.</p>
<p>Aluthgamage, contacted for comment, denied the allegation that he had assaulted MP Rajapaksa.</p>
<p>He said MP Rajapakse had levelled unfounded allegations against him in front of other MPs and officials at the group meeting. "I told him that I would not respond to those allegations at the group meeting and asked him to come out of the meeting room so that I could explain it to him. After he came out, I questioned him about the issues that he raised. At that point some MPs, led by Polonnaruwa District MP Jagath Samarawickrama, tried to separate us and dragged MP Rajapakse back. They both fell on each other because of the dragging. Everything has been recorded in CCTV and if there is an assault by me, as alleged by some, the footage could be scrutinised," Aluthgamage told the media.</p><!-- /wp:html --></p><p>[Category: <a href="https://feed.lankaimage.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a>]</p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> </p>
