Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP D.V. Chanaka has alleged that President Anura Kumara Dissananayake has sued the Police Department to gather crowds for the public rally organized in Tangalle on November 20.
Addressing the Parliament today, MP Chanaka read excerpts from a letter allegedly sent to the Police divisional heads on gathering crowds for the event.
“They have no way of gathering crowds, as the public is against the government. The DIG in charge of the area has issued a letter to every division head, including Galle and Matara, on how to gather the public,” he said.
MP Chanaka went on to reveal that per the letter, the Tangalle Police has been instructed to bring 397 people, the Beliatta Police 420, the Walasmulla Police 360, the Weeraketiya Police 414, the Middeniya Police 246, the Anugunukolapelessa Police 264, the Kirinda Police 36, the Harbour Police 36, and the Tissamaharama Police 198 people.
“This is a different way to gather a crowd. There is written evidence. The Police are in a troubled situation. Are the Police here to bow down to politicians and gather crowds for their events?” he questioned.
MP Chanaka further challenged the government to deny the allegation, adding that he will make the document public if they do so. (Newswire)
