Video: UNPers mull meeting the AG

26 May 2014 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The UNP Parliamentarians who were attacked during their fact finding mission in Hambantota have decided to meet Attorney General Palitha Fernando and discuss legal steps that could be taken against those who were accused of attacking them, UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake told journalists.

“The decision was made by the MPs after they were informed by IGP N. K. Illangakoon that he had sought Attorney General’s advice on taking action against those who are accused of attacking the MPs,” he said.

Attanayake said that the IGP had informed of this decision to the MPs when they met him at the Police Headquarters today.

Mr. Attanayake charged that the investigations on the incident had become complicated as the Hambantota Police had referred the incident to a Samatha Mandala (Mediation Board) while the IGP had decided to seek the advice of Attorney General. (Yohan Perera)
