The Batticaloa Magistrate has ordered Batticaloa Parliamentarians P. Ariyanenthiran, S. Yogeshwaran and Selvarasa as well as two other officials to appear in court over a protest held in the town last week.

The summons was issued after the Batticaloa police filed a case in Court over the protest organized by unemployed graduates in Batticaloa last week against the government without seeking prior approval from the police.

The police told Court today that the protestors were not arrested at the time as it would have caused tensions in the area.
