Parliament is neglecting the reasons for the peoples’ protest
July 27, 2022

National Peoples Power MP Dr Harini Amarasuriya said that parliament is neglecting the causes and reasons for the peoples’ protest.
Speaking during the debate on the vote to approve the state of emergency she told parliament that there has to be a threat to national security or public security for emergency to be declared and that these conditions have not been fulfilled for it.
‘The imposition of the emergency is not proportionate to the situation outside. If there is a threat, it is not the people who face it but the 225 people who are inside parliament and it is them that the emergency is being used to protect. Let's not hide behind what's constitutional. Do the right thing by the people’, she said.
