More photos of vote rigging by Pillaiyan Group(video annex)

The government and the government coalition
parties repeatedly say that the election for the Eastern Provincial Council was held peacefully and none other than the general situation in an election prevailed there.
Lanka-e-News posted a photo of a group of Pillaiyan Group cadres who flocked in Batticaloa Mahajana Vidyalaya for vote rigging. Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said that it was the only photo available on vote rigging. Minister Champika Ranawaka of Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) said today (13) at a press briefing that such photos of voters standing in a queue could be taken at any polling center.

We therefore decided to post a few more photos of the incident. They depict the way the group of the Pillaiyan Group cadres came to the Mahajana Vidyalaya polling center for vote rigging.
In one photo, Sri Lanka Communist Party candidate K. Thyagaraja who contested under Tamil Democratic National Front protests vote rigging of the Pilaiyan Group. Another photo depicts the tense situation erupted as police involved to prevent vote rigging.

We would like to say to the gentlemen who challenge us that we have more photos on vote rigging.
