President’s actions contradict his own words on the use of PTA: SJB (VIDEO)

Date:

Despite President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s promise on the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) being enforced to boost the economic development of the country, the Act is being used to repress political activists, alleged Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Tissa Attanayake, speaking to media today (22).

As of now, a group of protesters including student activist Wasantha Mudalige has been arrested and the government should reveal reasons as to why they were charged under the PTA, the MP noted.

The Opposition MP questioned how marching against the President and calling for an election is an act of terrorism, adding that the government is now enforcing the emergency regulations for repression instead of solving the people’s problems.
