Actor Jehan Appuhami has accused JVP supporters of attacking the Frontline Socialist Party office in Yakkala, warning that the government is sinking into thug politics reminiscent of J.R. Jayewardene’s era.
Popular actor Jehan Appuhami has strongly condemned an alleged attack on the Yakkala office of the Frontline Socialist Party, claiming it was carried out by thugs linked to the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna. In a video released on social media, he criticized the government, which received a large public mandate, for what he described as unnecessary theatrics instead of focusing on the promises made to the people.
Appuhami expressed disappointment, stating that he never expected the Maliman government to stoop to such levels. He accused the administration of following in the footsteps of former President J.R. Jayewardene, whose rule has often been criticized for suppressing dissent through violence. According to him, this marks a dangerous descent into the same cycle of intimidation and suppression that Sri Lanka once suffered.
The actor further urged the public to stand against thug politics and reject what he called the “sorry dot com” journey of the government. He warned that if unchecked, this path could once again destroy democratic values and public trust. His remarks have sparked heated discussions online, with many echoing his call to resist thuggery and protect political freedom.
This latest allegation adds fuel to ongoing debates about the role of violence in Sri Lanka’s political landscape. Keywords such as JVP thuggery, Yakkala attack, Jehan Appuhami criticism, and Maliman government politics are now trending in the conversation, highlighting growing dissatisfaction with how the government is handling political opposition.
