COLOMBO (News 1st): JVP MP Nalinda Jayatissa commenting on the proposed Counter-Terrorism Bill at a meeting in Kalutara said that just like Zahran blasted the bombs that the Prime Minister too is waiting to bring this bill to parliament and blast it at any given time.

He continued to say that the proposed act is only a trick practised by Wickremesinghe to stop the people from rallying against the government by putting global terrorism forward instead. Jayatissa added that regardless of the varied political principles, that everyone must come together to defeat this bill that could be more dangerous than a “time bomb.”
