UNP supporters in wrong bus
The UNP’s protest against the removal of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe from his position concluded mid-afternoon, Tuesday, but party supporters were leaving Colombo until late in the evening.
Two of the supporters who appeared to be intoxicated got into a passenger bus operating between Maharagama and Colombo Fort. They believed they had got into the bus organised by the party to transport them to Colombo.
One of them started delivering a speech in which he was trying to explain as to why they should defend Mr Wickremesinghe.
The conductor moved closer to them demanding that they purchase the tickets. One of them shouted out ‘This is our party bus, why should we buy tickets?
The conductor responded: “This is not the UNP bus, but a public transport bus.”
One of them then nudged the other and said “I think we are in the wrong bus and we better get off.”
