Geetha Kumarasinghe, the new Minister of State for Cultural Affairs, questions whether the protests, which are blocking main roads and railways, are not ‘terrorism’.
“I take this opportunity to talk about the current situation in the country. Young children come to the Galle Face and grab the board to get rid of the mental turmoil that has befallen their lives. We’re really heartbroken about that. Who closed the railway and other main roads? What is expected of these? Isn’t this terrorism? Do innocent people do this? I say in this House today, stop saying Gota Go Home immediately. When his time comes he will leave. Then let’s go for a poll!”
Geetha Kumarasinghe said this while addressing Parliament yesterday (21) for the first time since receiving a ministerial post.
