In a notable legal move, NPP MP Harini Amarasuriya has filed a substantial lawsuit against SJB MP Tissa Attanayake in the Colombo District Court. Amarasuriya is seeking compensation amounting to RS 1 Billion.
The legal action stems from allegations that Tissa Attanayake made a false statement during a presidential election rally. Specifically, Amarasuriya contends that Attanayake falsely claimed that a National People’s Power government would halt the Dalada Perahara, the revered annual procession in Kandy.
This case reflects ongoing tensions and legal disputes in the political arena, with significant implications for both parties involved. The outcome of the lawsuit could potentially impact public perceptions and political dynamics as the presidential election approaches.
