State Minister Diana Gamage left the Sri Jayawardenapura Hospital earlier today after receiving medical treatment following an alleged assault by Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament, Sujith Sanjaya Perera. The incident, which has drawn widespread attention, led to Ms. Gamage being hospitalized with reported injuries, as a parliamentary committee is appointed to investigate the assault.
The incident unfolded when State Minister Diana Gamage allegedly found herself at the receiving end of an assault by SJB MP Sujith Sanjaya Perera. The details surrounding the confrontation are still emerging, and the motives behind the alleged attack remain the subject of speculation.
Cameras outside the Sri Jayawardenapura Hospital captured a frail and visibly distressed Diana Gamage being pushed in a wheelchair upon her departure. She was reported to have sustained injuries, including a collarbone injury, and appeared to be in pain. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety and security of politicians in the country.
