COLOMBO: Several lawmakers were injured in fisticuffs inside Sri Lanka’s Parliament on Tuesday after a protest over the removal of military security for former President Mahinda Rajapakasa. One lawmaker was hospitalized. The fracas occurred after the session commenced following an argument between opposition and government lawmakers over the removal of army soldiers from the security of the former president. Rajapaksa lost his bid for re-election last year to his former health minister, but was later elected as a lawmaker. An official at the Colombo National Hospital where the lawmaker is receiving treatment said his condition is not critical and being treated for minor injuries and is under supervision.
