Police officers who were at Poluwa junction near the parliamentary complex should not have assaulted the army officers who approached the area by motor cycles on Tuesday, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka told Parliament today.
“I would have even opposed the army officers if they assaulted police officers,” Field Marshal Fonseka said.
“At the same time I would like to say that Army officers should not have come in motor bikes without number plates. I don’t know whether these officers were sent by someone but anyway their arrival in the scene cannot be justified,” he added. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)
