Sri Lankan cop sacked for playing piano as protesters broke into President's house | Oneindia News
On Friday, Sri Lanka's police force said that it had sacked an officer who entertained protesters with an impromptu piano performance after they entered the island nation's presidential compound last year.
Constable R M D Dayaratne was deployed to help protect the colonial-era residence on the day it was taken over by protesters who forced then-president Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country.
Instead, reports revealed that he sat at a grand piano in the compound and played a song to the crowd streaming through its rooms. A senior officer, speaking on condition of anonymity said that Dayaratne was on social media playing the piano while the building was being vandalised.
In the midst of political tensions, Sri Lanka's Fisheries Minister, Douglas Devananda, dismisses recent statements from Indian leaders regarding Katchatheevu island as having 'no ground.' Join us as we delve into the ongoing dispute and the implications of these remarks during election season in India.

During an election rally in Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut, now a BJP candidate, inadvertently mixed up Tejashwi Yadav with BJP MP Tejasvi Surya while criticising the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader for "eating fish". However, it was Yadav who had previously faced criticism for a video showing him consuming fish during Navratri. The rally, held in Mandi, highlighted Ranaut's political foray in the Lok Sabha seat. In her address, she not only attacked Yadav but also accused Surya of "hooliganism" and referenced his alleged fish-eating habits.
