Chairman of the ‘Magen Ratata’ movement, Sanjaya Mahawatta, has submitted a complaint to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) requesting an immediate investigation against individuals who presented false information regarding the recent coal incident.
According to the state newspaper Dinamina, he has requested that an immediate investigation be conducted and the law be enforced against the relevant individuals.
The complaint was filed yesterday (25) against two opposition Members of Parliament and a professor.
Sanjaya Mahawatta alleged that presenting a report prepared in 2017 with the date altered to 2025 is a serious offence.
After submitting the complaint to the CID, he expressed to the media that this is an attempt to embarrass the government and the state and to set the country on fire.
Therefore, he requested that the three individuals named in the complaint be summoned immediately and statements be recorded.
The complaint further states that the altered documents should be examined, and if found suspicious, the law should be enforced without delay.
He said that deliberately changing the date is a serious offence, and that Members of Parliament should not misuse parliamentary privileges to make false statements.
Sanjaya Mahawatta added that, instead, they should come outside Parliament and present this information to the public. (Newswire/ Image – Dinamina)
