A group of MPs from the ruling National People's Power (NPP) have submitted a motion to Parliament seeking the removal of suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon from his post.
Several NPP MPs handed over the motion to Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne this afternoon.
The motion has been signed by 115 NPP MPs
Mr Tennakoon is currently in remand custody over the 2023 fatal shooting outside the W 15 hotel in Weligama where an officer from the Colombo Crimes Division was killed.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
