Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said that they will protest tomorrow against the unconstitutional and undemocratic way in which the Rajapksas' assumed power.
“We aren’t protesting against the government tomorrow. We are the government. We are protesting against the unconstitutional manner in which they assumed power. They have taken over state media institutions by force and is engaged in fear mongering while making a mockery of our democracy. That is why we are protesting”.
When a journalist asked a question by addressing Ranawaka as Parliamentarian, he had this to say.
“I’m a Minister. I have not been informed officially that I have been removed from my portfolio. Therefore, I am still a Minister. Tell Rajapaksa to leave aside the thuggery of the Vithaarandeniye Ukkuwas’ and the Julyampitiye Amares’ and show up at the parliament.”
