MP Aswer receives obscene calls

Obscene calls from students .... to Aswer's telephone
Since parliamentarian A.H.M. Aswer had been receiving continuous calls on his mobile phone in obscene language, he had complained about this to the police.

These calls had come from various phone numbers on various occasions reprimanding him saying such things as, "If you open your mouth .... the whole area stinks ....
shut your mouth and wait .... don't try to give your support by force .... now it's enough that you went 'kade". Mr. Aswer said that he suspects that this is something done by a few individuals in an organised manner.

Subsequently the police were able to get at the information about the individuals and areas across telephone companies and it was revealed to them that all the said persons were a set of youth from Beruwala, Aluthgama and Panadura areas from where a conflicting situation arose and that a gang of 5 were among them and that all of them were Muslim nationals.

Among this youth some of them had been recent school-leavers while some others were still school-going children, it was further understood. After a lengthy interrogation it was said that they thought of doing something like this because the parliamentarian was not interested in speaking on their behalf and his manner of criticism-oriented behaviour.

The police released them after warning them.
