Thewarapperuma who received eye and head injuries while attempting to stop mob attacks on Muslims, told "The Island" that he had been elected on the UNP ticket and accordingly would submit his resignation to his party leader. "It is upto Wickremesinghe to decide on the future course of action."
The MP said that even though it was the BBS-aided by mobs from outside the Beruwela electorate that went on the rampage killing people, looting and burning private property, the MP said he felt guilty that as a representative of the Kalutara
Since the IGP had failed to take responsibility for the Police and STF inaction and quit, he had decided to resign instead, MP Thewarapperuma noted. "On June 15, a Mrs. Sahabdeen was dragged out of her house down Military Road, Dharga Town and handed over to the STF, after which her house was set on fire. How could the IGP continue in office when his men behave in such a disgraceful manner? If the IGP had had any self respect he would have resigned before I told him to."
When pointed out that the IGP had claimed investigations into the Alutgama violence were being conducted, MP Thewarapperuma replied that the BBS had since the war was over, been terrorising the Muslims and destroying their mosques and business establishments with impunity, but no action whatsoever had been instituted against that organisation and it would go scot free once again.
Commenting on the BBS attacks which left him injured Thewarapperuma said, "Is this the type of Buddhism they practice? I have never Buddhist priests who are filled with such hatred against their own countrymen. They behave in the most disgraceful manner and use raw filth on even Buddhists."
