UNP MP sleeps on pedestrian crossing

News

A few weeks ago, it was UNP Deputy Minister and Kalutara district Parliamentarian Palitha Thevarapperuma who was protesting against the Police for their failure to act regarding an issue of violation of election laws.

Yesterday, it was the turn of Kandy District UNP MP Ananda Aluthgamage to sleep on a pedestrian crossing in front of the Nawalapitiya police station — this time demanding that the Officer-in-Charge of the station be transferred.The MP sleeping on a pillow on the pedestrian crossing was witnessed by those passing by.
