Sajith Accompanies Ashok Abeysinghe To CID Over Controversial Remarks On Parties Behind Easter Sunday Attacks

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa today accompanied SJB MP Ashok Abeysinghe to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).

Abeysinghe was noticed to appear before the CID to make a statement with regard to some controversial remarks he made linking President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and former Minister Basil Rajapaksa to the Easter Sunday attacks.

Six ruling party MPs and Nissanka Senadhipathy — whom Abeysinghe accused of financing terrorists — have lodged two complaints against Abeysinghe over this statement.

The Parliamentarian made these controversial remarks addressing an internal gathering with SJB activists in the Kurunegala area. A statement is currently being recorded from the Parliamentarian.
