A complaint has been filed with the Election Commission regarding the performance of ‘Garu Katanayakathumani’, a political comedy stage play created by Udesiri Wickramaratne, during the election silent period.

This complaint was submitted by an independent candidate, requesting that the play be suspended from the start of the election silence period on 11 until the end of voting day.

The complaint claims that the play portrays various politicians, using different names and performances that could potentially evoke associations with real political figures.
