Sri Lanka opposition United National Party (UNP) Matara District MP Buddika Pathirana eats green chilies as he takes part to raise funds for the people affected by Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), in Colombo on September 11, 2014. The campaign launched locally called SL Amu Miris Challenge or Green Chillies Challenge to collect funds for kidney patients as against the infamous Ice Bucket Challenge. The one who accepts the challenge and eat three green chilies within two minutes have to donate Rs. 100 or any higher amount. If anyone failed to accept the challenge he would have to donate Rs. 1,000 or higher amount according to the rules.
