He is referring to a remark by Wimal that parliament should be
bombed if a new constitution was passed with a two-third majority.
It was the brother of Wimal’s wife Shashi, who had been accused of throwing a grenade at a meeting in parliament on 18 August 1988, killing MP Keerthi Abeywickrema and injuring the then president J.R. Jayewardene.
The NFF has condemned the statement by its own leader, with its national organizer Piyasiri Wijenayake demanding an apology by him to the nation.
Speaking at a hurriedly-arranged media briefing in Gampaha yesterday (25), he said what Wimal said was his personal opinion, and not the party’s stand.
Wijenayake apologized to the country, and said the remark would impact the peace in the country.
