Sri Lanka government on Sunday slammed the opposition's plan to stage protests in north and east regions on Monday calling it a “political exercise.”
Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) had called for day-long action to protest against the killing of a civilian in a clash with the military at Oddusuddan in the northeastern Mullaithivu district.
“This is clearly an attempt to intimidate the people in the north and east by frustrated political parties”, Nalinda Jayathissa, the minister of information told reporters on Sunday.
