"If Joint Opposition comes for discussions asking that mistakes be put aside ... I'll crack their ears" -- Chandrika's statement (video)

The statement former President Mrs. Chandrika Bandaranaika recently made at a rally in Eheliyagoda saying that the crowd who became traitors to the SLFP entering the party with the motive of having conditions at their back of dismissing all accusations of corruption and that if they were to so participate in discussions that she

would crack their ears, has created a sensation.

A discussion was called for today (3) under the leadership of the party of Mr. Maithripala Sirisena with the purpose of stabilizing and strengthening the Sri Lanka Freedom Party once again; groups representing the Joint Opposition has informed in writing that they would not be attending it, also bringing into focus the words of "cracking the ears".

The former President has uttered those words in the following manner at Eheliyagoda rally: "If anybody says that people who went behind leaders who ravaged this party ... shattered the country and are murderers should be taken in once again in order to rescue the Sri Lanka Freedom Party ... they then will be betraying the party. They say that they are now coming for discussions. I of course won't be going for those. If at all they come ... I'll crack their ears! What they say is, 'withdraw the cases against us, put aside the inquiries, remove those who acted against us in the police. Then we'll join the party ... if not, this can't be done'. That means, they want to make this a cave of robbers again!" The video of this speech, from below
