COLOMBO (News 1st); Ruling SLPP Parliamentarian Tissa Kutti Arachchi has suggested that the time has come for the people of the country to use sticks and poles against protestors.

“These protestors are being orchestrated by a small group of people with political objectives,” said the MP.

In his comments, the MP urged government employees not to fall prey to these protests.

In January 2022, SLPP MP Tissa Kutti Arachchi’s comments on Former State Minister Susil Premajayantha’s removal from office sparked a political controversy.

SLPP MP Tissa Kutti Arachchi said that Former State Minister Susil Premajayantha was sacked from office after analyzing state intelligence reports.

“We have the State Intelligence Service. The intel can relate to the government, national security, alternative governments, and even the political atmosphere,” he told a press conference in Colombo adding that Susil Premajayantha was sacked as a result of such intelligence efforts.

“It wasn’t just the statement he made at Delkanda pola. He was removed after analyzing the state intelligence reports,” the SLPP MP said.
