Colombo (LNW): Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said the public’s opinion and their suggestions with regard to the proposed Anti-Terrorism Bill will be collected till May 30, 2023.

Accordingly, the public can submit their opinions and suggestions on the proposed bill to the Ministry before the deadline set by the Minister.

Any individual or political parties and civil movements are able to raise their concerns pertaining to the bill, Rajapakshe added, promising that measures will be taken to table the proposed bill after obtaining the opinion of all relevant parties including the public.

The announcement comes in two days after the controversial bill was delayed in being tabled in Parliament in response to severe backlash by a number of concerned parties.
