A demonstration was held in Hambantota on Sunday afternoon (31) in protest over the decision to summon former first lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa to the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).
Severe traffic congestion was also reported at the Hambantota town and nearby roads due to the demonstration, Ada Derana reporter said.
In a post on social media Namal Rajapaksa MP earlier claimed that,
“My Mother just received a notice to appear before the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID). My Mother has always stayed away from politics. Does she deserve this harassment?! “Yahapalanaya” seems just a facade for this government. Vengeance isn’t “good governance.” Targeting my Mother proves it. President Rajapaksa and I, as politicians, are always ready to face political vengeance. But I wish they would leave my Mother & brothers alone.”
