TNA MP Rasamanikkam Shanakkiyan said in Parliament yesterday (20) that Prasanna Ranatunga should resign from the post of Minister of Public Defense as police had killed a person within 48 hours of him taking office.
“However, you must resign immediately. A young man was killed within 48 hours of your appointment,” said the MP while demanding the resignation of the Minister and the entire Cabinet of Ministers.
However, Minister Ranatunga responded “He says that I have to resign when a person is killed. However, I must state that if such action was not taken more than three hundred people would have died if that (fuel bowser) was set on fire.”
