The Police Headquarters instructed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to launch investigation on those publishing certain posts on social media threatening parliamentarians.

Police said it has been observed that various posts are being published on social media platforms  threatening parliamentarians. 

Earlier, Acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe has instructed to conduct an investigation into the allegations that certain individuals through social media are attempting to influence or exert pressure on parlimentarians and obstruct their right to vote freely to elect the next President. 

Accordingly, as per the instructions of the Ministry of Public Security, the Police Headquarters instructed the Computer Crime Investigation Division under the Deputy Inspector General of the CID to enforce the law against those who create, publish and circulate such pots on social media.

    Ranil has no right ti bein parliment. He nither wlected nor nominated qithin seven days after the election was over dor the nationla list. Heis talking about protecting constitution while breaching it. people clearly said no deal. But still MPs havenot learnt a lession. So if MPs are representative of people they should act according to people'a will. If Ranil prebenti ng it that is a breach of constitution. So people can force MPs to vote ans people should threatened to MPs

    CID should FIRST prob what MPs do and how MPs have contributed to the country's bankruptcy. people protest against MPs because they do not do their job in the house . Due to the same reason the public including CID officers are not able to afford the living cost

    These are the police, intelligence people and acolytes of rajapassas and Ranilas hacking into other people's accounts and posting threats using the victims names. It is a common event in FB, hacking into others accounts. They are doing these to discredt Aragalaya, and these are the works of dirty tricks brigades of police and corrupt politicians acolytes.
